GE is a bad idea. That ruined the market value of your nice slayer drops once. Don't bring it back, maybe it might be an idea to upgrade the trading post a bit more instead of re-introducing the grand exchange.

The game will be too easy with a GE implanted.


Your nice slayer drops were ruined because of the 23 new better melee weapons then the whip came into the game. Whips were still between 1.4 and 2.4 when the GE was around (obviously before chaotics came out)
Scape it till you make it.

I hope that people vote "no" for the Grand Exchange update:
It will make the community lazy and the little bit of extra interaction between people that now exists will disappear too. For me OldSchool is doing some effort again to fetch my items for quests, craft weapons, arrows, runes etc... Adding the Grand Exchange will also make it less attractive to actually skill for money, but will make it more attractive for botters to sell their mass productions.

People vote no to keep the nostalgy of the old Runescape


I don't need interaction in game with bots who sell items we PLAYERS need overpriced. That's what my friends list is for, interaction.

Think this: The principa idea of this Dev Blog, is to make a BIG improve for the trading post, if this not pass the vote filter, it still be able to do small improves. The mentioned GE will NOT be like the actual GE on RuneScape.


That I understand, but the biggest issues I have with the GE is the ability to trade offline and across worlds. With the updates to the trading post described in the devblog, you would gain

a) the ability to filter out people who can't be bothered to turn private chat on
and
b) save yourself the the time of having to teleport to Varrock each time you want to make a trade

Both updates are beneficial, making the trading post more efficient, while still keeping the trades at an individual rather than mass basis.

Grand Exchange is a terrible idea. People voted on this because it was OLD SCHOOL RUNESCAPE. Some didn't like rs3 and some played it for other reasons. I actually quit rs3 when the Grand Exchange came out. Took away the challenge of selling items and buying items. It's supposed to be OLD SCHOOL for a reason. Keep it the way it is. It needs to stay OLD SCHOOL. This game is 100% perfect right now without taking it a step closer to RS3.


So you quit in 07? Since RS3 was added in 2013..?
Also when Jagex stops updating the oldschool server the game will die eventually, trust me.

I will Vote Yes for G.E.

Why?

I like oldschool way more then rs3,rs3 to crowded gameplay altough if i change layout to oldschool still i dont feel like im playing runescape at that moment idk why just don't like it thats why i play oldschool.

The reason for Yes to G.E. is that,when u need a item really fast like example for a quest u want to be done fast,u alway's need to make allot of time to trade first.When g.e. will come's out 'wich i hope' trading will go allot faster again,no need to check internet or find people to trade with change worlds etc...

In the end, Bring back G.E. ;)
Hit,or get hit

You want an item for a quest? Put some effort into getting it, its part of the challenge. You don't have to buy redberries for 50k, all you need to do is spend 30 seconds on rswiki and get them yourself.

No to the GE. If its added so much meaning of old school runescape will be lost. I like having to network, in order to find buyers and sellers. Adding it will also remove a degree of difficulty that will put many players out of the game, I know I won't stick around & I've met many good friends though having to network and it will be something sorely missed if replaced by the GE. If you want the GE go back to EOC. Also adding the dragon defender is a good idea! :)


who are you to tell us what to play? who are you to define what is or is not old school? who are you to tell us what we even CARE about "old school"?

that's right, you're 583 total and still in the nostalgic phase - rendering your opinion irrelevant to majority of the playerbase.


Lol at you I've recently started up old school this last month. So I'm rather proud of my 583 total, which will have maxed out mining within the next month. I've been around since 03, I've seen the ups and downs of this game as its progressed, and have played off and on through out that time. Have only came back since I learned about old school. I opened up myself to express how I felt about it, and I gave my opinion, if you felt that I told anyone to do anything you are sorely mistaken for it was not my intent, but I do apologize, it was merely my opinion on the matter. Now stop trolling.

Lol I love the arguments in this thread, "you're a newschool kid because you want GE" "But GE was added in late 2007!" "Oldschool is 2001-2006" "But this is "Oldschool" Runescape nub!" It actually isn't Oldschool Runescape anymore either so people can stop with the "old player/new player" bs.

I have been playing since RSC released and I want an easier way to trade with people so I can get back to playing the game. So I very much will vote on GE and hope it passes! :D

Please nub, after 14 yrs you still haven't learned the fact bots and scammers will take full use and advantage of the new GE system. All GE will do is further corrupt the economy and inflate items.

I am a 2k15 prod and I vote NO to this horrendous update. Don't be lazy people.
