There isn't anything inherently bad about the value of gp increasing since all prices and the wealth of players are entirely relative anyway. You also neglect to consider that with people buying in smaller quantities they will end up paying more per item if they want something then and there. That is the price of convenience for the buyer and means that it is still better to plan ahead and buy for less.

The GE (or any form of automated trading) has far reaching benefits for almost all aspects of the game. Trading is just an awkward bottleneck right now that is forcing players to congregate around and plan their gameplay around varrock west. If we take the effort out of trading then we can see an increase of activity *everywhere*, something which no other single game update can ever hope to match.

We had the attempt at reviving minigames with minigame chats, and we had the same thing with the wilderness rejuvenation update, but the GE would benefit both those areas of the game and more in ine fell swoop. People already complain about various content being dead as it is, what do you think it will be like when Zeah expands the map by 50% and spreads us out even more? This is why we need a GE now more than ever.

Yet G.E Was in late 2007?

You said 2003-late 2007. Before the updates. that means 2003-late 2007 with the G.E that was in late 2007. And after that all of the updates where just bad for you. GE IS LOVE GE IS LIFE GE LOOKS VERY NICE

The GE was part of old-school eh? You mean because it was released at the very end of 2007? You mean because we had 2 weeks to try it out before free trade was removed completely? That makes it part of old-school and not part of the plan that it was actually part of? From day 1 the GE and it's stupid price display started killing everything that was (now called old-school) about RS2. Noobs started offering up market price when they're trying to buy a single law rune, that was the first sign that the GE had been a very bad idea. I know that more than 25% of you gotta be not stupid enough to make that mistake again (again meaning now that it's up to us this time and not jagex). If you prove me wrong then I give up.

agreed

stop trying to mix my words you know what i mean !! I retract what I said and i change it to... I PREFERRED RUNESCAPE IN 2006 !! Since 2006 Runescape isn't available, I think trading should be how it was before the updates in 2007! So as early 2007 as possible!!

Ok,

Those of you who can't or will not "read" here's the point of bringing back the G E...
"WE" have all seen what we like/don't like about it since its inclusion... stop flapping your jaws (fingers =p ) and be productive! Help make the GE better than it "was"... sheessshh...

Things change... but people... idk... I still say that a game without Honor...Integrety... a place to have fun and not the "real world" of greed etc... is no longer a "game" a place to have fun! =(

/s/

P.S. Real people play... all else does not... ! =)
