Why can't each trading post work as a ge if its introduced? Seems simple enough.

My opinion is altar the trading post so we can receive item/gold through the system? Can't do it? I am sure there's another way to code it look into that. We need an auction style trade system just look at ebya vs craig*list.

As for MMO's go, WoW has the best auction house/Grand exchange ever made. It works perfectly. Anyways I hope we don't get the same thing we have in rs3.... This was suppose to been right before that and purposely picked that way for a reason. SMH

In WoW, players may only learn 2 professions. Its skilling isn't such a big part of the game as it is in RS. Because the auction house is also serverbound + factionbound, it's a necessity for small servers.

Runescape has sooo many different noncombat skills that were NEVER intended to be "mastered" in one big S*pile.

In RS3, there are very few reasons to train many skills, other than meeting quest requirements. In oldschool, and how it used to be, is that having higher level skills was a conveniency to craft the armour/weapons/arrows yourself, instead of having to put the effort in to find someone to buy the needed items from.

I love RS3 with the better graphics, keybinds, and I even love the EoC; but the GE just makes the game so effortless. I agree with you on one thing though: having an uncentralized GE would make the game more enjoyable, but only in RS3 .

NO if they add the GRAND EXCHANGE it will ruin the game really bad. Their will be trade limits again, and Trade limits are annoying, free trading is much better. The Grand Exchange can stay in RS3 and keep out of OSRS. However for dragon defender I'm all for it. Their needs to be something better than rune. I also think they should add Dragon Platebody while they are at it since dragon chainbody isn't that good.

YES TO DRAGON DEFENDER AND NO TO GRAND EXCHANGE
People who played back in the day could tell you this. Having the GRAND EXCHANGE made the game crap and it gave a negative affect. I love to have no trade limit please. YOU EOC players don't need to be trying to ***** up oldschool so keep your opinions to yourself. If you play both eoc and osrs, or just play RS3 most of the time, don't try to change what others play since that isn't exactly fair and it will ruin everyone's fun besides mine.

PLEASE READ

I'm not sure if this has been dealt with yet, but I feel we desperately need to fix something with the polling system. We need to be given the option to vote only on the things we care about, I.E. vote for the GE without needing to vote for the other items on the list.

IDK if this problem has been fixed yet, but last time I voted in a poll I was forced to make votes on subjects that I did not feel I knew enough abou to properly vote on. For example I have never played trouble brewing, I have no idea, I don't want to be forced to vote on trouble brewing in order to vote yes for something I really care about the GE. In order to make the polling system more fair, and better represent the views of people who actually care one way or another, I feel this needs to be ammended. Either add an "I dont know/care" option, or don't force us to click every box on a poll.

/end

Also, vote yes for GE, a vote yes for GE is a vote for actually playing the game instead of bankstanding!

Also I loved some earlier comments about maybe putting it in a different place such as fally or cammy. That would be very nostalgic... However I can see how spatially NW of V makes the most sense.

Thankyou OS developers, you've done well, I hope this passes!

People like you are ruining the game actually, DONT VOTE WITHOUT ACTUALLY READING THE UPDATE.

It explicitly states THERE WILL BE NO LIMITS. (except for buying in huge bulk limits).

Please guys, if you care about the game, learn about what you are voting for before you vote, READ THE DEV BLOG.

OK even if they don't put in trade limit with GE like last time, they still need to leave it out of oldschool Runescape. Its just something that should stay in RS3, I don't think we are heading in the right direction with this GE. I like the Trading post, I have had no problem with it and it does not put a price label on any of the items. Again that allows freedom the GE did not have

Does it really make sense to keep content out of the game for nostalgic reasons that hurt gameplay?

Yes, and stop respamming your posts.

Something, that was never before implemented into a game, cannot hurt it.

Having run energy not recover 10000% faster is not hurting the game !

NO to GE !

Absurd reply. You like walking around everywhere? Running is slow enough as it is.

1 more thing i want to mention. Does the Grand Exchange show you what people are offering and how much they want for it and what world they are in? no it does not but the trading post does. Its nothing like the GE and it is better than GE. I'll explain how.

You are wanting to buy a Bandos Godsword, and you go into the trading post, you search for this sword, It shows who is selling a Bandos Godsword and how much they want for it. Does the Grand Exchange Show who is selling a Bandos Godsword and how much they want for it, and what world they are in? NO it does not. See in the Grand Exchange you have no idea who is selling what and how much they want for it. SO their for, they should keep the trading posts and Bring in the Dragon Defender, but leave out GE

no the grand exchange is horrible they need to leave it out. i bet most of you that are voting are people who play eoc which isn't that great in my opinion. Putting the GE in is gonna ruin the whole point of it being called "Oldshcool Runescape." If you do this your gonna ruin this game. YOU people that want yes the to grand exhange, go play RS3 and leave oldschool alone. its fine the way it is. don't go off ruining it. I don't want to have trade limits again, nor do many of other people. FOR the people who want GE, don't drag that to a great game and make it horrible again. it was a mistake and it Should not be in Oldshcool Runescape.


Ok, where to start? First off if everyone was as anti-progressive as you we would all still be playing pong. Your fear of content changing the game for the worse will run OSR into the ground. By this standard we should keep all content that is currently being added to OSR out because it was already "fine as it is". If the game does not expand and grow how long do you honestly think jagex can keep it up and running. As soon as new content stops the game base will start to dry up as members of the community gradually leave due to stale gameplay. Being afraid of change is toxic as is this nonsense about what OSR is truly about. No one here wants this to turn into RS3 with EOC, and if you think that the majority of people that are voting yes for the GE are currently players of RS3 i'd say you are sadly mistaken.

While I don't agree with that post, for the most part, your reply and "fear of change" is silly.

You came to the game pong knowing full well what it is, and said, "You know what would make this game better? A larger paddle."

I am not afraid of change, its just that this game needs to go onto a different path. not the same path that lead RS to the ground. Yes change some things from time to time OK, but adding something such as the GE just isn't the path we want to follow once more, if anything, OSRS should make its own path that doesn't exactly follow EOC, but a different progressing method, The GE was a disaster and some would agree, so why walk the same path? lets not try to redo what was already done in rs3 and think of something entirely different.
