Hear me out.
The full GE is a bad idea because it allows for buy offers.
Buy offers
First of all they're unfair because they don't allow fair competition: not everyone gets equal chances at certain items. It all depends on posting a better price than your opponent, instantly resulting in making his offer redundant and worthless. Worst of all he might not even be at the GE, but probably doing something else...
Which brings up the next point, it's basically a substitute to merc* botting.
Instead of having your nose in a trading post looking for good deals, everything is automated! Yay! All you have to do is be online! Sound pretty much like those bots running rampant selling and buying everything for ridiculous prices if you ask me. Except this won't get you banned, because it's a feature.
And on top of that it won't fix price manipulation, because you can AFK-buy (though limited) people will still make clans, unite and buy out all your precious sarabrews.
Honestly the best solution to these problems is rather simple... Make the trading post like a shop. It will stay the way it is at the moment, but people are allowed to buy x IN the post. So if you were to post something for 300k, a guy with 300k and acces to the post could buy it right there and then if he wanted.
This will still allow poeple to buy out certain items, but if you are that dedicated to buying every single one of a certain item and you are spending so many, many hours in the post in order to do so; you deserve that profit. Simply because you are, indeed, putting effort in the game and that should be rewarded. Then again, the moment you log off or leave someone else comes by and post the item for whatever price and your efforts will be in vain. Manipulators lost.
A seller should have the upper hand in any case, he put effort into receiving the item he should be rewarded. Not the buyer, buy offers break the game*

100% we need the ge to many times players are being scammed and losing money due to the lack of security behind it. It's difficult to sell items and buy when players are offline and as a community I believe it would benefit being able to go to bed wake up and play the next day having either bought or sold items. This brings back another exciting element the stock market looking at how an item and drop and rise due to the impact of the game and I am truly excited. I believe rs07 is going in the right direction. The game that people loved and why they are still playing this is I would rs 2010 that was the prime and if we can build towards this adding new quests and maybe Dragon claws
? It would be amazing. The thing we love about rs07 is the ability to train skills, like actually train a skill for weeks and achieving a 99 is a major accomplishment on rs3 I believe it takes about 1/4 of the time. This is truly exciting time in the rs07 and I believe the community will grow with this update and maybe just maybe F2P for all accounts non member it would allow the community to grow and for a player like me I would love to make my own f2p account to pk on and I would still have members on this one. If we can also improve the servers for less or none d/c it would be amazing as well. Things are really working them selves into a game that we all love. Keep up good work jagex!!
