We tried something like that in the trading system poll. That's how we got a fairly conservative Trading Post. Since then, there's been a lot of demand for the GE anyway.


Aye, but the problem with that was that you were asking them all at once, so it was a little difficult to decipher.

What I meant was more like, one poll for "Do you want buy offers through trading post?". If that passes, implement. Then later "Do you want opening trading post through trading post"... and so on, up until something fails, at which point you don't continue.

I say I think that makes more sense just 'cause I'd prefer wading into the sea and seeing how far I can go until it's unsafe, rather than jumping in at the deep end and trying to swim back until it's safe.

I mean, if GE fails, will you next poll fully auto online trading, then if that fails, something less, and so on until something does pass?

Grand exchange.
I will be voting no. It's not what I'd consider old school as it changes your mindset to the entire game. Old school updates should keep a similar mindset.
Also when I say "it's not old school" I'm not just talking about 2007 updates as many people cry "GE was 2007".

The trading post.
It'd be great to remove peoples offers if they have their friends set to off, although if they have you added and their friends is set to friends then it'd be good to show those offers. I'll be voting yes either way.
Trading through the post. I like the idea for when you're in a busy bank, although I don't want it to be able to trade other banks. IE you only trade through the post if you're at the exact same post. So for now I shall vote no.
I'd also like a button to indicate joining a clan chat to trade.

The dragon defender.
I like the fact you've put it in the basement, requiring a rune defender & tokens to get. However I was hoping for a bigger update to the warrior guild, not just slightly higher level cyclops, perhaps you missed an opportunity for a fun cyclops boss or minigame, but it may prove to be a decent update depending on how easy and what level the new cyclops are.
That being said I'm unsure where I stand on the dragon defender, it's powerful and devalues the DFS but I never had any direct issues with it. So I'm unsure how I'll be voting.

Other updates.
I will be voting yes to all, although I have a few issues with them.
If the RFD gloves are now rune, adamant, mithril, etc.. Then why are they the only metal item to be locked by a quest and unable to get as drops or smithing the item.
If there is more than 1 person at trouble brewing then they should be encouraged to play together.
RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.
