Why does this question keep coming back? We voted on it before, the answer was no. Going to vote no, 3 times, again, (3 accounts, 3 votes).

Thank you for not being stupid. The whole GE thing needs to go. Honestly, they should be more worried about implementing future content such as weapons/armor before this GE crap. The main reason why people stopped playing the other RS was because of the EOC and unbalanced equipment. If we're having new bosses and new items, we should make sure THAT'S the priority, not this. And hopefully we can get stuff higher that lv70-75.

This might have been said quite a few times, I don't know. I didn't read through everything. But wouldn't be the trading post, as it sits now, together with an automated GE-like buying system the perfect solution?

1) You can only sell stuff in the trading post while being online, so the market offers what the market has and you can see the price everyone is selling for and set the price you would actually want for your items.

2) Without Buy-offers in the trading post, no one can buy bulk of items at a certain price at once, nor have automatic buying when a trade pops in. Which stops people from mass-buying and merchanting and as soon as something enters the trade post everyone has the same chance of getting the item.

3) With the automated buying system I mean that you can just buy the item in the trading post, no need to meet up, no need to hop worlds, just have the 2 players both be online.

I hope I made clear of my vision on this problem? And in my opinion, the effects of merchanters and price-affecters are even smaller this way then they are right now.
Yes, this. Support.

Vote yes to *.*.

I can see both pro's and con's of bringing back the GE. the main pro's of the GE is to allow players to buy and sell goods; to enable players to obtain what they need and want.

runescape is an "online game", like many other games. it is intended to be fun, creative and challenging. it is the fundaments of runescape very exsistances. we must all think twice about the very phrase of "IN THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME". what does that phrase really mean?

think about the con's to bringing back the GE. true it will bring back price manipulation; true it will bring about merc* clans; both of those 2 con's alone will bring more botters. maybe perhaps we should focus our attention towards finding solutions to stop the merc* clans, the price manipulation and for God sakes stop those botters.

i vote yes for GE; i nominate that jagex open up a private "SUGGESTION BOX" to the runescape community for the sole purpose of finding a suitable solution to end "botters";, " merc*-clans" and "price manipulators"......

The G.E won't work for osrs because when it was released there was over 200k player online and some items had only couple sellers. nowadays theres 7-25k players and you won't be able to buy some items that u need for quest like fishbowl. Just don't let people post offers on trading post and it would be perfect.

If GE is implemented it needs to be in all banks through the current trading post, though older players like myself aren't a fan of it. Trading is already easy enough I can buy nearly anything as fast as I can send a PM to a seller. Buy offers through existing system would be fine.

No to dragon defender. I don't even have to elaborate on that.

YES to GE.

Even if you filter offline on trading post, people will still manipulate prices on it by just not responding to your offer (pretending to be afk). Say NO to TIME WASTING.

NO to dragon defender. We don't need more OP stuff. See what happened to snake boss items, they are destroying PVP. I DO NOT want this slow player power creep that will end up going down the same road as EOC
