Im against the adding the GE into old school but if people want the GE into Oldschool, why dont they add the same mechanics onto the trading post. At least you can sell or buy at any bank instead of teleporting or running all the way to Varrock to sell and buy items
RS3 have the GE and Oldschool have the trading post.

No to the GE. It's added so much meaning to old school runescape and that will be lost. I like having to network, in order to find buyers and sellers. Adding it will also remove a degree of difficulty that will put many players out of the game, I know I won't stick around & I've met many good friends though having to network and it will be something sorely missed if replaced by the GE. If you want the GE go back to EOC. Also adding the dragon defender is a good idea! :)

IF anything we should just be improving the trading posts instead of putting in the GE. While on the subject of adding something, lets talk about "Fist of guthix" for a second. I personally think we should add this to osrs since it gave Magic users a better place to train since runes are expensive, yea yea has nothing to do with this but I'm just throwing that out.

I give up on trying explain what bad things that could happen if GE is added. Lets just see the outcome of this whole thing and see if it has improved the game or set it back.

If I'm right about how it will ruin OSRS then I can say "I told you so" but if I'm wrong you can say how i was completely wrong about the whole thing. If things do go wrong with GE being added then we can easily try to rid of it.

YES GE finally. As much as its not the "true" oldschool ways as people may argue against, it really is much more time efficient and cleaner hence saving more time for actual rs gameplay.
REALLY HOPE THIS GOES THROUGH

No Grand exchange... It will ruin the Old School aspect IMO. Rise of merchanting clans and massive inflation, will ruin the OSRS economy.

Yes to Zulrath. IMO there should be penalties like this for other items (mage books, void night, etc). We need more cash sinks. Nothings crazy but there aren't many cash sinks in the game currently.

Uhh if you are using the trading posts your stuff will sell quickly, if you are not then u probably have your private set to friends only or off, if that's not the case then your wanting too much for what your selling, or its stuff no one wants
