Just give us the GE. The trading post is awful, even more of a hassle than **bes.

Reasons trading post sucks:

1) No guide prices. Without restrictions, guide prices are a PERFECT feature. Without guide prices I have to use zybes to find the price even if I use the trading post.

2) Forgetting what price I'm selling the item for. During a trade there's no way to see how much you were offering the item for. It's easier to get scammed and more tedious.

3) You still have to calculate the cost with a calculator instead of having a simple 5 second buy/sell you have with the GE.

4) Tons of pms so you have to either ignore someone or have them clutter your friends list.

5) If you have a high demand item tons of people will come to you only to find you're sold out. This is really just plain cruel. I don't enjoy wasting peoples' time or crushing their hopes*

** has always been a BRILLIANT update. The only problem it ever had was the restrictions, and with free trade that problem is no longer existent**

** IS GREAT. VOTE FOR GE. THERE IS NOTHING WORTH WITH THE GE.

For the people against the Grand Exchange:

Don't you think it's better that players spend less time trying to buy/sell their items and spend more time actually playing the game?

I see this as a way to have more players filling up activities in the game rather than spending hours trying to find buyers/sellers and hopping constantly to trade someone.

This will also get rid of fake offers.

Grand exchange will just make the game better imo.

What if I told you that buying or selling your items is part of playing the game?

A Grand Exchange will only benefit merchers/flippers and gold sellers.

Keep in mind that a Grand Exchange won't change the supply and demand of items, this is a common mistake people make.

What will change the supply of items is the influx of bot accounts created to RWT due to it being much easier for them to sell off their loot

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**.

^^ AMEN TO THIS!!! Could not have said this better myself, if you want convenience, you're playing the wrong MMOR*G! Haha SO perfect!

To keep the feel of the packed world 1 Varrock west and so on, make it the GE but make it only accessible from certain locations and on certain worlds. It would still be very convenient and also not ruin the effect world 1/2 have.

They can already sell their goods quick enough, a Grand Exchange would only speed it up a bit.
