I am voting for no G.E for a few reasons. Firstly, while there is price manipulation by clans currently, the G.E will make it easier and the impacts of clan manipulation more felt in the general economy. The limit of trades is a good idea but this will just encourage multiple accounts and more recruitment for these clans.
Second, prices of common items are going to drop which is empirically true. The cost of selling items (intangible cost of time, PMing, etc.) is going to drop which is going to make the price drop. This will cause slayer drops, barrows, bosses, and EVERY DROP RELATED ITEM's price to drop.
My final reason is the fact that the G.E led to RS3 being commoditized and really just sapped the soul out of the game. While this is not concrete rational, I feel that most people play this game for the nostalgia and the spirit of the game. I have received and given out many items for free to people just because I enjoy the spirit of the community, and this spirit would be taken out by the G.E.
If the G.E. does go in, it being in Falador would be a cool idea though.
