I'd vote yes for G.E but one thing i would like to be changed or considered is no offline trading. So you can't have an offer in while you're offline and get the item. You must be online for things to buy/sell in G.E. Well that's my own opinion anyways.

Ge
1) Lower item value
With a simple afk (even offline) way of selling the most useless of items, the supply would increase immensely. All while demand would stay the same. The value of nearly every item in the game would drop significantly.
You would think; 'if everything drops, then its not a problem right? 4 hours of farming for that dark bow, doesnt matter if its 1m or 10m, right?' Wrong! With little space of value between each item it would alter the very nature of the game.
The amount of supplies it takes to take down that 1 boss as oppose to the other would cost so much, that a large portion of the game would simply not be played any more.
2) Bulk sells
When looking for large quantities of an item, players are willing to pay more if they can buy in bulk.
A GE would make this option impossible. This kind of interaction might be considered merching but is actually essential to the players farming the items.
Merchers actually pay fair enough prices to actual farmers compared to a player emptying out their bank. They would sell those yew logs for 100 each, just to get rid of them. (Making the prices drop, making the actual farmers less money, etc.)
3) Player interaction
Like it or not RS is an MMOR**. And although the game can be played solo, it was meant to maintain a certain interaction with other players*
** players are often described as a bunch of 12 year old boys screaming 'selling rune scimitar for 27k'. Giving a very islating game mechanic to players would not make our community stronger or alter the game's image for the better. (IMO this would have a direct impact on future sales Jagex)
4) Easy gateway for merc* clans
You think scammers are bad now? Back when the GE came out, entire websites were set up to help you make millions.
The short version. They would buy a small bulk of an item. Then they'd tell their 'community' to buy that item. The prices would sky-rocket. The scammers would sell the item and leave the communitystuck with pots worth 1 gp eac

Please don't use the 2010 model shown in this Dev Blog for the Dragon Defender. It looks so out of place with the other dragon items. A simple red skin of the current defender models would suffice, maybe with little white, dragon boots-esque horns as the crossguard.

Q: Should we add a basement to the Warriors' guild containing a bigger cyclops that has a chance of dropping dragon defenders? To access the basement you would need to show Kamfreena a rune defender to get a key. You would still need to pay the same token fee as you pay to access the cyclops on the top floor.

A: Would this consume the Rune Defender? Either way is fine, but a heads up would be nice.

Q: Should we increase the number of available bank slots for both free-to-play and members by 200?

A: Yes

Q: Should we make messages from players that you add to your ignore list disappear?

A: Yes

Question: Should saplings of tradeable seeds be made tradeable?

A: Sure, why not? Sometimes you make more saplings than you need.

Q: Should we allow Ava's devices to retrieve ammo regardless of where it landed? Currently they cannot collect ammo from anywhere you cannot directly walk to.

A: Yes, please, for the love of all that is holy.

Q: Should filtering public chat also filter chat seen over other players' heads?

A: No.

Q: Should we append the names of the Recipe for Disaster gloves to include the level they represent? For example, rune gloves.

A: Yes.

Q: Should we adjust the inventory appearance of maple logs and staffs to prevent them being confused with yew logs and battlestaffs in trade screens?

A: Yes

Q: Should we remove the unnecessary dialogue when entering or leaving Sophanem for those who are allowed to use the gate?

A: Yes

Q: Should we change Trouble Brewing to only require 1 player on each crew to start a game?

A: Yes!

Q: Should we add a right-click option to slayer masters to get an assignment?

A: Yes!

Q: Should we open the north side of Varrock west bank to provide access to the agility shortcut?

A: Sure, why not?
