I originally thought that this was supposed to be similar to the auction house. I don't understand why we don't just copy that. Most mmo's use it because it is effective.

I say no the Grand Exchange, but really would like the trading post buffed a bit, it seems like it is still half finished. :/

This is what the poll really is:

"Do you the players want to work hard doing tedious tasks to earn what you want. Or. Do you the players want things to be made easier so you can receive things faster."

That is what this next poll will essentially be about. Originalists will vote for earning what you what you want. Newcomers will vote for an easier game.

Jagex, Runescape was built upon the foundation of completing tedious tasks and earning what you want. If you want to dismantle that foundation then fine. It's your game and all I can do is unsubscribe and not play.

I'm tired of everyone moaning about this including myself. The divide is clear. Poll this thing and get it over with.

^This. You either appreciate OSRS and the challenge it brings, or you just want easyscape like RS3. Just poll it already and hope to god people still have enough respect for the game to vote no

And if your reasoning for wanting the GE is you get scammed too much currently then for god's sake READ THE SECOND TRADE SCREEN and no one should get scammed. Also, if your trying to buy an item your already most likely in varrock or have the ability to easily tele there so I don't understand all the complaining about the inconvenience of the current trade system. Unless, your just flat out so lazy that taking 5 minutes out of slaying/PVMing to go trade someone is that big of an issue to you then newsflash: YOUR PLAYING THE WRONG MMOR**.

For all of you people who want to change OSRS into RS3 one update at a time: just wait if the GE passes and all the merchanting clans comes back. Then whenever you go to buy certain items and the price has gone up 500% then you will know what getting scammed truly is like. Merchanting clans ruled the GE back in the day and will dominate it once again, just wait and see. Vote no to GE if you have even a shred of respect for OSRS. Seriously next people will be begging for Nex and d claws to be added...


The sad thing is, people are already begging for those things.


^^ Are you serious? I can't believe anyone who truly enjoys OSRS would ever want Nex or d claws in the game, its absurd that Corp even got added in. It is because so many RS3 players are sick of RS3 and are coming to OSRS to slowly change it. *Sigh*

It doesn't have to be a GE, and we have many options and layers of trading available to us. I know a lot of us can continue to argue and debate what should be done, but if we all just vote on what we want then we have no regrets with the outcome.

Vote what makes you guys happy and I'll vote on what makes me happy is what it comes down to. I do want to see people be happy believe it or not. Now we just wait and see what happens next. :)


I sincerely hate making a personal attack but you're singing quite a different tune than your past posts. How the hell does no one have any regrets no matter what the outcome is? I think the people that want the GE will be pretty butthurt if they don't get it. And I can certainly say that the traditional RS players will be furious and start quitting over time if not immediately if it does get added (history repeats itself). If you really want the GE, GO PLAY RS3. Please, I ask that you present one single point of how the GE will benefit the game. If you start whining about convenience I won't even finish reading your reply.


^^^YES. The GE adds no value to the game, just makes lazy players have the ability to be even more lazy. Not adding the GE will just cause supporters to complain and continue to use the current trade system. However, adding the GE will cause a HUGE % of the community to quit playing just like they did back in 2007. If it passes people will regret it big time. Also, considering it failed the original poll, and offline trading TANKED in the original poll, to me it is an outrage that it is even being re-polled now. What is the point in our polling system if they can just keep re-polling issues till results change? Also, whenever OSRS was created I remember that the JMods said certain things that would never be put in OSRS and 2 of those were the GE and Corp, guess they changed their mind? Sad.

Everyone saying no to the G.E are people who just swindle people and scam... after reading through their opinions... it's obvious they don't want it so they can continue putting up outrageous prices... This is for convenience, it doesn't make it easyscape...

I would like a original grand exchange. There's a character on osrs named Dreamcape, that does nothing but buys everything from everyone, and sells it for higher. It's really annoying and it's sucking out any fun in the game from extreme hording. It would kinda kill most merchants. I would love an option if you guys introduced a grand exchange where you can exclude certain players from your buying/selling list, such as dreamcape. He's a jerk too, I hope he commits suicide. Cheers. Please don't mute me or whatever, you can ignore that. I've been a part of Runescape since 2005 on my first account shadowhalo50. It would be nice to see some sort of reply :o .
