But please just have the exact same Grand Exchange as there was in late 2007/2008 etc, I loved that GE, don't have a different/manual one.
Then we would have trade limits.

The current GE in RS3 allows you to freely set prices.

I'm not talking about that, i'm referring to how the old GE used to look, like just north of V West bank, the big place like how it used to be, I'm just asking that they don't make it some custom crap

Question: If question 1 fails, should the Trading Post let you click a player's offer to send them a trade request, allowing you to trade with them without meeting up? They would need to be in a bank on the same world as you.

Yes I think this is another great idea although I can see it getting quite confusing if it's not obvious that it's a trade from someone outside your reach/speaking distance. If the trade was a different colour or you received some sort of notification because sometimes you may not receive the trade if your in your bankscreen or crafting an item etc. This would work if it was clear and stood out on its own when receiving a trade offer through this method.

Question: Should we add a basement to the Warriors' guild containing a bigger cyclops that has a chance of dropping dragon defenders? To access the basement you would need to show Kamfreena a rune defender to get a key. You would still need to pay the same token fee as you pay to access the cyclops on the top floor.

I think this update sounds awesome :) although I stress that the dragon defender should not be an easy thing to get as it will be extremely good throughout OSRS. Perhaps increasing the amount of tokens taken overtime while in the room? 20 instead of 10 or need 250+ to receive a dragon defender etc or make the monsters somewhat hard to take down (a special attack by them etc). Also thinking of dragon defenders gave me the idea that an animated dragon armour to fight for tokens would be really cool. Perhaps a bypass on the platebody and use the chainmail or possibly release the platebody in the near future and then do the animated dragon armour update? :P

**** off back to rs3 if you want GE, its got legacy, so all you 2011 prods who want to ruin osrs should just go there

why call it osrs anymore? its just a game where people who didnt even play in 2007 can ruin it by wanting the same **** thats in rs3 because they dont like eo*

boo ******* hoo, go play another game, *****


You do realise the grand exchange came out in late 2007 it's more oldschool than things like corp beast or elite clue scrolls.


but those didnt ruin one of the most important aspect of any mmo - the social interraction

and i didn* want that crap either, i dont want anything from rs3 added, id have rather it had no updates at all, heck id rather it just go back to 2005 but boy would all the 2011 prods hate that


You dont want corp? you cant even get in the cave.... hell you cant do a whole lot at all with stats like those yet you complain about content....

Question: Should we increase the number of available bank slots for both free-to-play and members by 200?

Yes and no. I believe we have more space than Rs3 users atm and they have a lot more items to deal with so this confuses me. I think 600 is quite enough for players to handle and it also keeps items rolling instead of lazy/rich players hoarding them in their banks, I know most high levels or players in general drop their unused lower level items or stuff they don't use in the banks which gives lower level players a catch to snag them and actually put them to use instead of going to the general store or dissapearing. Although a extra 200 bank spaces would be absolute awesome for many players who like to collect loot tabs etc or just in plain general hoard items & I can also see this helping alot of long-term ironmen who put nearly every item to use.

Question: Should we remove the 'Harpoon' option on the fishing spots found in Piscatoris?

Haven't been fishing there myself but if theres no fish to catch with a harpoon then I do suggest removing as it would only creates confusion.

Question: Should we make messages from players that you add to your ignore list disappear?

Yes but I suggest putting a 5 to 10 second timer on it as sometimes I could imagine people attempting to add someone and put them on ignore by accident (as I have done myself many times) and if the messages dissapeared straight away they could be forgotten. So yeah a timer a if it passes please :)

Question: Should saplings of tradeable seeds be made tradeable?

No. This update would only help people achieve faster farm xp overtime and would only really benefit impatient or ehp orientated players. We don't want to make this easy scape like Rs3 now... I think it should be left the way it is as it hardly takes anytime anyway and gives a little bit of an idea how farming is actually done in general, we'd only lose essence of the skill itself.

Question: Should we allow Ava's devices to retrieve ammo regardless of where it landed? Currently they cannot collect ammo from anywhere you cannot directly walk to.

Yes and no again. It would benefit a lot of players who use the range skill to kill monsters/train in certain areas where it's impossible to retrieve the ammunition & would simplify the essence of the item. Although this update is mainly been brought to our attention because you cannot get your arrows/bolts back from zulrah. I like the balance of it at the moment because you can choose to kill zulrah with cheaper bolts and make profit all the time but take longer to kill the solo boss or you can use expensive ammunition to kill it faster and therefore having a higher chance of getting a signature drop and profitting that way overtime. You make a lot of money at zulrah as it is I don't think it should be cheaper to kill the boss as it would make a lot of the items it drops crash. Although I say yes if it collects ammunition 100% everywhere except for the zulrah boss.

Question: Should filtering public chat also filter chat seen over other players' heads?

No as we have a option of "Public Off" for that. The hide option is perfect the way it is.

Question: Should we append the names of the Recipe for Disaster gloves to include the level they represent? For example, rune gloves.

Yes this would clear up a lot of confusion when it comes to the recipe for disaster gloves and also make certain gloves easier to find in the bank etc.

Question: Should we adjust the inventory appearance of maple logs and staffs to prevent them being confused with yew logs and battlestaffs in trade screens?

Yes definitely. I've been scammed through the battlestaff/staff items before as they are impossible to tell apart but I've never had difficulties with maple/yew log differences.

Question: Should we remove the unnecessary dialogue when entering or leaving Sophanem for those who are allowed to use the gate?

Yes please.

Although I personally dislike the Grand Exchange and think the trading post long distance trading is perfect solution, I do see how people could vote yes and I have a few suggestions I'd like to post.

Please if we do have the Grand Exchange, could we have the hub be in Falador Park? I think that offers a much more nostalgic approach to it & would also be a unique spin on a particularly controversial update.


I agree with the Fally park point; I'd love that nostalgic feeling of when the main hub of trading was based in central Falador! Cracking idea.

Yes for GE!
