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.

But I have a comp cape and over 2b total xp so my opinion matters!!

I just can't believe my eyes.

The major points about oldschool were:
-No eoc but regular combat system
-No GE trading system but manual player trading
-No updates concerning items/skills etc that would have a major impact on the game we had in 2007 without the clear and full support of the entire community

I remember many people were also excited about finally getting rid of the op spirit shields, chaotic weapons, godwars ******** and summoning crap.

It has only been 2 years and if you would bring GE in the game you can already scrap 2 of the 3 major oldschool promises off the list. Way to go jagex, if you keep it up at this rate you can expect a reroll to a previous game version again in a couple of years. You idiots never learn do you ?

There wouldn't have been a need for oldschool in the first place if you would have thought through the impact of updates like the GE, eoc , etc... Now you are forcing them again down our throats. And i don't buy this it is all supported from the community ********. There has always been a very loud and very stupid minority segment of the community that have no idea about the impact of the stuff the want in game. The real voice of the community, the players that have been with the game when it started and contributed to its success was there two years ago when they demanded and fought to have an oldschool version. And they were crystal clear about not having an economy in game that was driven by the GE-trading system. For the love off god don't bring this in game unless you wish to ruin your game again like you did in the past.

I don't want pre-eoc runescape, I want oldschool runescape. I love player trading, the only unfortunate thing about it is that the community doesn't have a clue about how to organise it anymore. Where is world 2 falador park ? New solutions can be found for this, zybez is already used alot. You should focus on creating a runescape version of zybez trading system and not a GE ! TP are good but need work !

Mithril Jedi, you forget the fact old school had ge in it, it was first released November of 2007. Hate to burst your bubble but get your facts straight. I've been playing since 2003, and don't care if there is ge or no ge. Everything has it's pros and cons. And to people who are saying no because of merchers, you're just saying no because you are one of those merchers who want to continue to controll the economy. Or are a player who started playing between December of 2007-January 2015.

"So...

Why don't we offer a modified GE? Like the GE from RS3, but with a few changes, such as putting it in the Falador trading area instead of Varrock, or making it work just for online players, or making it use the existing Trading Post models so that it's available in every bank?

We certainly could. Quite easily, for some of those things. (The engine team tells us that an online-only requirement would be harder, but I imagine it could be done somehow.)

However, we get a heck of a lot of requests for "the GE".

Last time we ran a trading system poll, we offered you a lot of questions that - if they all passed - would have pretty much been a GE. Some passed, many did not, and thus we released a system that isn't the GE.

And since then, we still get a lot of demand for "the GE". Including in this thread. So I'm not convinced that it works very well when we cobble a system together out of multiple poll questions.

We've therefore started the blog with something that everyone understands, and we're planning to put it to a simple Yes/No vote. Without messing with it, or writing awkward exceptions to make it "more oldschool".

We tried something like that before for the GWD. While it passed, the proposed changes were generally not well received. Things like the idea for making dragon boots available without making rune boots redundant, or the balancing changes to the AGS. People knew how the GWD was, and they wanted that. Not some version that Ash and Nexus and Dan and Mat had been tweaking.

Nevertheless, a lot of the ideas people have had for tweaking the GE are good ideas, and I'd be very happy to see some of them done.

But I'd also hate to muck up the much-demanded GE poll by offering something that wasn't "the GE".

By mod ash.

Read this carefully. GE IS LOVE GE IS LIFE GE LOOKS VERY NICE
