Question
: Should we introduce the Grand Exchange?
Answer:
Why remove a potentially, great piece of content like the TP rather than improve it? Implementing the ability to post buy offers and send trade offers instead of an automated system. Also, no public chat on means no trade. It's as simple as that.
Question : If question 1 fails, should we update the Trading Post to hide offers from players who've set their private chat to Friends or Off?
Answer:
Question : If question 1 fails, should the Trading Post let you click a player's offer to send them a trade request, allowing you to trade with them without meeting up? They would need to be in a bank on the same world as you.
Answer:
I do favor the ability to send 'trade' requests through the post and being able to post 'buy' offers though. Let's steer away from automatic trading as it's too GE-related.
All in all, OSR is the best update that happened to RuneScape, and the TP has a lot of potential. It wouldn't be feasible to remove it and add a flawed RS3 system into OSR. The main reason players left RS3 is to escape such systems and to get that nostalgic feel of the golden era of the game before all the new changes that drove players away. Vote

Answer:
No way!
I really like the TP, and the GE is very problematic in RS3 as it's easy to manipulate and sets bogus prices on items. I like the laissez-faire approach of being able to buy or sell my items at any price I desire. Additionally, I play OSR because it's just that. There's nothing like old-school trading where people actually trade each other than dump items into a flawed RS3 system.

Answer:
Yes!
I was always bothered by people having their private chat off when they've posted offers on the TP.

'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*'
You definitely did not understand the point I was trying to get across. I'll put it into simpler terms so you can understand:
Log on Runescape, manage buy/sell offers on items, log out & come back in an hour. Takes 5 minutes of effort, makes X amount of money.
Log on Runescape, go on adventures and train skills like you're meant to that requires you to invest time/money in the game. Takes an hour of effort, make Y amount of money.
Y being less than X.
Should you really be rewarded for taking advantage of a flawed system and make more money than someone who actually plays the game/puts more time into playing the game and playing it how it was meant to be played? Probably not. But it will be.
I just replied to this... They can do the exact same thing without GE.
Thing is that is takes way more time now
and not afkable at all
