If you give the community a GE, next their gonna want lodestones. players don't always know what is best for them, they will always opt for the easiest route for them only to realize down the road that they have stolen their sense of achievement right from under them. In the past it was a big deal to hit max total level, now its a normal thing with how easy the game is and now the devs are forced to make all this new content around these max players to keep them playing. Instead of looking to get to max total as fast as possible, why not enjoy the ride? That's what I've been attempting to do since starting old school but yet all these players want to recreate easyscape. I guess its true, history is bound to repeat itself because the human species is too ignorant.

People are quoting it'll be the end of free trade and more money on drops, but it's so difficult to buy certain items sometimes. It took me an hour to buy 4k raw lobsters using both zybez and the barebones trading post.

Gold ore was even worse, i had to pay 25% more than average value to get it, because of the amount of hoarding. If people, like slayers and skillers had a g.e, they wouldn't have to off-load it to a bot in w1 for -25% of the usual price, for them to then gather 20k of the item in question and sell it for 25-50% more.

If you ever trade with a "person" via zybez, and they say "item?" you know they are just a bot. Why is it that profitable to have an account, as a runescape member to be just a buying and selling tool?

The G.E would stop this immediately and actually give a true value to items. Mod Sayln: 22.10.16 - It was working as intended

That's ridiculous to put the GE on the same level as some RS3 bs like lodestones. Grand Exchange was released in 07, the only reason people have a problem with it is because it takes a lot of player interaction and interesting trade situations out of the game in exchange for extremely fast, simple and convenient trade.

i wuld like grand exchange please even tho if ppl think it killed the game it didn't kill the game what killed rs was bot and you guys must take something seriously about botter. it would be easy to put a button to say it is a bot and then mod could focus on this person.

Why exactly is it such a bad thing to have fast and simple trade instead of spending literally hours selling off stuff to turn a profit for all your hard work?

This is THE reason why I decided to make an ironman account, I knew ******** update like that would get polled in near future. Of course it doesn't really affect me anymore, but for all the people with opinion than me I will vote against this ****. WTF is wrong, no we don't want a GE, zybez was working fine. And by the way, you should consider renaming this game pre-rs3 because this is no more oldschool at all. What all of you guys want is runescape 2012, now you're just ruining it for everyone that prefered 07.

The people that prefer 07 were always a minority. This was just the only non private server alternative to RS3 that was available. a pre eoc pre graphic update version would have been a lot more popular if it was offered instead of this.

@Prodigygamer
Stop spamming your QFC, people who want GE are set in stone in the idea for the most part like me. Nothing will change my mind.

Yes I want a fully functional GE and I'm a 2001 player with over 2b xp. Figured since that's so important on this thread I just want to be cool like the cool kids and throw my credentials around like it matters. Just remember folks, the higher your numbers the more your opinion matters on here! ;p

@Horyza
I only want GE and a resizeable interface. Also an HD interface would be nice, it's just for playability and none of the things I want actually kills content.

No the new kids want the lodestones, toolbelts, afk rc'ing etc unfortunately they will never get to see and experience the best version of RS with us. This game is already doomed for easiness since it's 2007-based with PDC, so that's out the window.

@Osrs_G
Interesting player interaction such as "What Item?" "ty."? That is a lot of interaction and worth my time vs say fishing and talking with buddies instead. :)
