Firstly, let me just say I am for the G.E., but with good reason. Currently in OSRS there are a lot of merchers that already manipulate prices, and they always will. To institute a G.E. would help the community more than it would hurt it. People who need to train herb will need a large amount of supplies, same with fletching, fire making, and cooking.
My second point is that it will drop scamming rates to almost 0. Along with the rest of you guys I have been scammed on OSRS. It's sad to see it, but it will always be there without the G.E. Granted, people could just be smarter and check the screen, but people don't sometimes and probably won't ever learn. With the G.E. player to player trading will be almost eliminated completely. Therefore lowering the scamming rates in OSRS.
My final point on this G.E. expansion is the "Pre EOC worries". I have seen a large amount of people saying that if the G.E. comes to OSRS then it will be EOC. The G.E. was released November 26, 2007. It was not an EOC update, nor close to EOC. Currently in OSRS when I trade anyone from the trading post for skilling supplies, I see how many things they are really selling, the merchers are already here. The G.E. does have it's downsides of merching and price manipulating, but are we going to shoot down the idea of it simply because we don't want rich merchers. I think not, I think that if we give it a chance, and let Jagex do the work that needs to be done to get it as close to perfection as they can get it, then, and only then will we all be happy. That is my opinion and fact rant for the day.
Thank you,
VOTE YES ON G.E.
