The majority obviously want the GE, only a few elitist voted no. If the GE doesn't pass by a 1-2% margin i'm going to be ******. The majority want the GE, stop trying to be hipsters and just accept that we all want it. I've been playing this game since I was 12( i'm now 20 ) and the GE hasn't had a single negative affect on my game play experience, all it did was made it a lot more quick and simple to buy/sell items.

Vote Yes on the GE, don't let the Elitist Hipsters win.

I see you are still limiting the player(s) "buy" option on the T.P. by forcing them view only posted sell offers to buy from, from the looks of what i have read on your suggested update. If your planning on keeping the T.P. around for while it needs the same equality for a potential buyer as it does seller.

the T.P. needs the options to set your own "buy" price and then as proof of willingness to "buy" you can put GP equal too what your offering per each, in the same manner that you have to put your items in that you are selling.

A player can then view a list of players "buying" offer(s) and select to sell too

pvm godwars it was the best part of rs before they killed it with in game purchases and other useless crap to get the player to spend more IRL money. the person with the bigger wallet leveled up way faster. Proof of people spending IRL cash getting tons and tons of bonus exp is all over Youtube. skills that should have taken days or even weeks to get 99 in were easy to get in a mere fraction of time.

Dear OSRS Team,

In this post I will be discussing my up-most concerns about you and your work ethic.

I have like many things you have done and i appreciate the work you have done. Nevertheless this needs to be said.

You said that you do not want to try and update the trade post FIRST because that would take work. A GE is easy for people to demand because its what they know.They have not seen what the trade post could be because you literally gave the trade post 1 month and very little updates. IF you just put the time into doing the trade post with automatic trading and no offline trade you would satisfy more people than you would think. You caved into what everyone nagged you about since the release of the game... BECAUSE MAJORITIES CAN'T BE WRONG! RIGHT?

I am not here to talk about positive or negatives of a GE.

I am trying to show you that the laziness of "we need to know you will like it before we work on it" is absolutely redundant!

People do not know what they like without trying it. I tell people all the time i do not like mustard. I have never eaten mustard but I say i dislike it. So if you made me a sandwich and asked me what do I want on it I will NEVER say mustard. However you make me a sandwich and put mustard on it, Without having me tell u what I want I just may find that hey i actually like it.

The point I tried to make there is that YOU ARE THE DEVELOPERS! NOT US!!! I can tell that in some of your posts that you are not looking forward to having a GE. (that is the impression i get from reading some but not all of your developers forum posts)

I know you guys are staying busy (hopefully)

You have given us some unique things that only OSRS had/has. However many updates have been simply copy paste modify. Which i would imagine is much easier than making a unique and new thing into a game. You have done good work with it nonetheless and made the game very nice.

Idk if you notice the trend here..... Continued
