If I wanted to go play a generic MMO that has all these automatic systems, I'd go and play them. Trading is one of the few things that sets this game apart from the rest.

I'm all for upgrading the TP with better features and whatnot, but this lack of creativity you call the Grand Exchange is going extremely way too far. What ever happened to the middle ground?
What a joke.

I can only pray people come to their senses and vote no. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

GE limits. I mean, if you have enough money, you can effectively control supply of items whether the GE is in the game or not.

A big, fat NO! to G.E. It just isn't needed in all honesty. While it does save you a bit of time, I like how cheap most items are compared to post G.E. Also (as harsh as it sounds), if you're not smart enough to check BOTH trade windows, then maybe you don't deserve having gp or items.

I do like the sound of all of the other updates being pitched.

People.... The few who are against bringing the GE into osrs....
You're really going to sit here and say you enjoy going on **bez and posting buy and sell offers there, waiting for the buyer/seller, and hopping worlds just to get your 1,000 sharks or ranarr?

Are you incapable of multitasking?

I do other things while my things sell, you know. It's not difficult.

Plus, there's a lot more issues than price manipulation (though the ability to buy hundreds, thousands of an item at a time across all worlds instantly and anonymously inflate item prices with alternate accounts really doesn't help), such as the massive inflation Coinshare causes and the devaluation of skilling due to the easiness of just paying to get everything you need, and the inflation caused by being able to instantly sell everything instead of having to spend time listing and selling it piece by piece which is actually beneficial to the economy.

But you can just cover your ears and pretend the few precious minutes g.e. somehow saves you while running the economy into the ground, if you like.

All we need is 25% guys, let's vote no.
actually, you need 26%..

and g.e is going to pass easily

so know your place for those fg** that are voting no for g.e

You seem to be in need of being kicked down a notch. Know your place NMZ prod, my total and knowledge in both rs3 and osrs far surpass yours.
lmfao nmz prod l0l. i stopped training at nmz a year ago l0l its all about clanning now bruh.

I can't imagine a good clan would take someone with such a garbage account. Another one added to the pwn dumpster LOL

LOL you obviously didn't play when G/E was around. Price manipulation ran rampant, even with the limits.

i'm disappointed...
i expected more offers to expand the current trading post.
to be able to buy directly from the offers on the trading post.
Instead i am now forced to vote for the massive outofplace Grand exchange that is not in the spirit of the game.
Im still positive to the direction osrs is taking but i wanted more options.
if GE is to be implamented atleast make it seem more rundown to match varocks style.
For the love of guthix...
