My only worry about it is that it leaves the door wide open to price manipulation. What's stopping the RS3 accounts with countless Billions of GP transferring their gold so they can manipulate prices?
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.
LOL you obviously didn't play when G/E was around. Price manipulation ran rampant, even with the limits.
I did play then. Comparing that time to OSRS would be ridiculous. The ONLY reason that price manipulation worked so well during that time is because of trade restrictions.

Apologies if I didn't say that, I'm not arguing that you can only manipulate with the GE, I mean that, the GE can make it happen much quicker than usual.
Also, if your only argument against the GE or your MAIN argument against it is player interaction, then. Yeah.
Sure, but requiring multiple accounts to buy out items makes things trickier, more time-consuming, and more expensive.
Player interaction isn't why I want the GE at all. I want the GE because it's convenient, it more accurately represents true supply and demand, it allows me to waste less time buying and selling so I can spend more time playing, and opens up the possibility of systems such as coinshare/lootshare, price checker, and trade values to help prevent scams.
