Might as well make it the full ge the tradeing post is super annoying having to go and meet up with people in a way kinda more effort thank zyb. if the full ge came out then there would be alot less bots/merchers and alot less people getting scammed i think that the grade exchange would be a great idea for oldschool :D


In the original post they already backed up with data from RS3 that botting increased with the introduction of the GE because it made it easier and considerably faster for them to off-load botted materials for stacks of gold. Less scams sure, but common sense should prevent a lot of these already anyways so I feel no remorse for those who choose not to do their research. Also merchanting is not the demon most players believe it to be, it's just the product of having a free/open economy, it is just another way of making money. There are players who are patient and those who are impatient, the merchanter essentially buys from the impatient players who are too lazy to sell their items at market to high-end market values and instead sell it at a discount to get rid of it faster. The merchanter then becomes like other patient players who will spend more time trying to sell those items at a higher markup. There's no scam or wrong doing here, if you sell to a merchanter then you are either lazy or didn't do your research. Merchanters will thrive with GE or not, the only way to remove merchanters is to force players to buy and sell items at fixed prices (and by fixed I don't mean market price).

when he said bots he was referring to merc* bots that sit at vwest with offers up on **bez

I'm not a nerd that has patience in taking items from normal people for low prices and then selling it higher to normal people. I don't have time to be a nerd which is unfair. These jobless nerds have an advantage' please make full ge so I can buy anything or sell anything while im offline so that it at least stops there nerds having an advantage and to introduce competition to there these nerds by adding normal people. Thanks. PS also add loot share so nerds that don't have jobs can't scam.
