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.

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.

There will be limit of 6 slots where they can sell items/buy items, meaning they can merc* 3 items at a time.. Without GE there will be no limit. Also, the profit margin will be much higher for merchers if there is no GE.

Oh, you haven't heard of alt-scape yet, that's funny.

Trading between accounts is allowed these days, so a rich player can simply create accounts, feed them bonds and avoid buy limits.

Mate, this is such a bad comeback. If they want to pay for extra accounts to merc* 3 extra items, then let them be. Like i said, without GE, the will be no limit.

Your comeback is actually quite weak. I haven't seen you giving us any good arguments at all.

~Merchants are not evil people - Like it or not, they're a necessity. They take their money and purchase items low from people willing to sell low (mostly due to impatience) and resell high for their profit. It's better without the G.E. so you can make more informed decisions on who you're buying from or selling to, and at what price, and seeing if it's the best option for you.
~Bots, bots, bots - There are bots now. There will always be bots. But with a huge unregulated anonymous marketplace for them to dump whatever they're botting on with reckless abandon, it will be harder to control their effect on the economy, as well as the prices of materials, which will go down.
~Materials will drop in price - This is bad for newer players, better for people with a ton of money already. It will become harder and harder for people who skill for a living in game to make money because their trade is now in a much, much larger market that has an abundance of supply.

I think that covers most of it.

Please educate yourself before voting, especially when the Trading Post suggestions in the first post would solve many of these problems without compromising as much as the Grand Exchange does.

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

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

Alright, here's something you cannot deny about the implementation of the Grand Exchange..

If you do not merchant via the Grand Exchange and take advantage of the flaws it brings you will not be as successful as someone who does. The amount of money to be made off the Grand Exchange via merching is ridiculous and is more than you will make off any other skill and the effort is minimal. Is that proper? For something that has no requirements and doesn't require you to stay online often to make the most money? Id possibly support the GE if they'd mention whats in next weeks poll however they don't. We're literally voting in this poll going blindfolded without knowing what tweaks they want to bring up in the poll they have planned for next week. The Grand Exchange will have more negative impacts than positive.

I didnt even understand your first sentence. Anyways, I think you are trying to say that people will make ridiculous amount of money off GE with minimal effort?
-If flipping in GE will make you "ridiculous" amount of money, then guess what will happen? everyone will start flipping. Once everyone start flipping, then what happens? the buying and selling range will become smaller and smaller to the point that its not "ridiculous" anymore.

Also, to prevent people from hoarding items, Jagex will set limit on items u can buy, which will prevent people from buying a ridiculous amount while they are offline. Also, your offers will be easily replaced by higher offers in ge.. U can be offline for 10 hours and only get a few of the items you want to merc*
