locodave, I have told you on numerous occasions not to tell people how to vote. Please keep an eye on your in-game message centre as JaGex may wish to contact you in the near future.

In the meantime, I advise you to take a look at the Code of Conduct, found at the top of the forums.

Thank you.

Honestly haven't heard a single valid reason to why GE will be bad for OSRS.

Merchers: They are the majority of the 28% right now who voted no. They are profiting a lot from bankstanding, which a lot of rs players dont enjoy doing.
If you are tired of buying buying overpriced items and selling your items to lowball offers, vote yes to GE.

Why will the release of GE not make you want to play this game anymore? Like the guy above me. You are probably those ppl who vote no for everything. By releasing the GE, we can get rid of players who vote no for everything and continue to improve the game without obstacles.

More money will be flowing around which makes it worth less. Prices will go up. Banks will be empty. Flipping will be easy as f which makes money even worth less. Junk will have a value now. Skilling wont be as profitable anymore. Easyscape. Merc* clans. I'm sure people can think of more

Why will the release of GE not make you want to play this game anymore? If you are like that, then you either a noob who will probably quit soon anyway, or you are those ppl who vote no for everything. By releasing the GE, we can get rid of players who vote no for everything and continue to improve the game without obstacles.

If a mercher was smart, he would vote for the Grand Exchange, because making money is a lot easier with it if you merc*. Flipping and merching will take about no effort then.

I don't understand why the ratio for this has to be 75-25. It's going to fail again all because we need a 3:1 ratio of yes to no? How does that make even an ounce of sense? Why should the minority get what they want all because its not 3:1?
Majority is 51%
, which the GE has had in all past polls. The majority of players want the GE in the game. So why, If a larger portion of players wants the GE, should the players who don't want it get their way? The Polls are so skewed in this regard. What this ratio basically says is: In a poll of 8000 players, the opinions of 5999 players doesn't matter because 2001 player opinions is more important. How exactly does that make sense? If you were in a group of 10 people and 7 of them wanted to go bowling and 3 wanted to go golfing, what would you do? You would go bowling.

In that regard, the ratio for this poll should be way less. 66.7% to 33.3% would mean that 2 people want the GE for every one that doesn't. That makes a lot more sense. It doesn't even have to be that low, but 75-25 is completely unreasonable. I'm not saying it isn't possible that the GE will win (I personally hope it does), I'm saying that the ratio that we use to determine new updates is completely flawed.

Then, to make this even more unreasonable, a vote that is 74% to 26% is a failure to the 74%. Are you kidding me? If the GE fails again, it's going to be because a ratio like this. something along the lines of 72-28 or 74-26. The margin is so small, but since it
absolutely has to be 76-24
the GE will be no more.

Obviously there is a split in the community about the GE being added, but it's time the majority actually has their way. This isn't something simple like, "Would you like us to change log colors?" or, "Should we add more bank slots?". This the Grand Exchange we're talking about. Arguably the best update in RuneScape history.

It's time to make the majority the majority again.

Actually this is all a publicity stunt to gain more members. It wouldn't surprise me if Mod Ronan said after deciding among the Jagex team, we have decided not to add the Grand Exchange. This is complete bull ****. It was all a scam so Jagex could get more money by getting more members.


I called it.

More money will be flowing around which makes it worth less = Prices will go up**
** will not generate items/money.. The amount of money flowing around will be the same regardless of GE.. Right now, more money are just flowing to merchants.

Banks will be empty..
-Banks are already empty except for west varrock, which will be replaced by GE(a centralized area where people gather).

Im not even going to bother going into detail with the other arguments, because they are just purely illogical
