if the G.E doesnt pass on the 07 page, im finally going to quit 07 rs, im tired of the broken trading system and how the bots are getting out of control and price manips, i still cant believe how people wont vote for it when it doesnt impulse them in anyway.


Yes adding G.E will definitely stop bots dumping their stock and merc* clans wont manip items.. people.


You think mod wreath is able to handle bots dumping items in ge? HAAA, he isn't even able to ban all the bots at this current state of the game

I do not understand how GE supporters say they have difficulties with the trading post. I've been super successful with it and enjoying every moment of it; are you people doing something wrong that I'm not? Perhaps you're just less good at a certain aspect of the game. Hey, I don't complain that I'm not so good at PKing and thus demand it to be changed to meet my specific handicap. I'll just have to get better at it if I want.

Trading is game content and like any content in any game and sport you have to practice and get good at it. I love it how these people argue that with the GE they'll have more time to play the game. Now, I don't know about you, but I kind of feel like I'm playing the game when I'm trading. Hmm... Yeah, it's definitely RuneScape, not Monopoly.

They somehow created this strict alienation between trading and the rest of the game; trading as some sort of external menial task that you sometimes have to get over with in order to resume or fix your gameplay, like troubleshooting a graphical issue or reading an instruction manual. No. Trading IS internal. It IS gameplay.

Save trading, say NO to the Grand Exchange!

Well to attempt to counter my point using updates i dont agree with wont really get anywhere, I dont agree with trading posts no, rsforums is a perfectly good way of secure trading practices which i am happy to use, also its goverened by rs so win win.

Im not mentioning bots anwhere, the argument with bots is moot, its always teh case of teh grass being greener on the other side.

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW GE WILL MAKE YOU HAVE MORE INTERACTION WITH PLAYERS? (talking to the bankers doesn't count =P )

This again boils down to you being a non trader/merchant , This poll in my opinion should have never been given out to everyone since it primarily affects traders and how they practice, along with pricing strategies and so on. It is generally our role to maintain prices in RS as well so this takes away all player roles within this area, killing off the entire mechant community.

The analogy i use is, asking a fisherman to poll for flower pricing because he buys a flower for his wife every now and then, rather than the florist who runs a buisness of flowers.

I feel that everyone remembers the wilderness ban that happened that removed a pking community with lots of updates to resolve this but no one remembers fixed trade which killed off the merchant community, now that is is alive and thriving why would you want to kill it off again?

Just because you believe its "CONVENIENT"?

Well here are the pros and cons,
PROS :
1. Convenience
CONS:
1.Loss of player control to prices of items
2.Reduction in prices of low tiered/ non-member items
3.Easier to get 99 in lots of skills without leaving GE
4.Merhcant Clans manipulating prices
5.Loss of communication between players
6.Loss of original merchanting community
7.Makes Quests useless since people just buy items


THIS IS O S R S . CONVENIENCE SHOULD NOT DRIVE UPDATES, WHY CANT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS JAGEX?

If GE doesn't pass, can we get a poll to remove it from RS3 too? :D

No to Grand Exchange
No to Coinshare
No to Price Check

Adding the GE would ruin the economy crashing prices like what's been slowly happening on RuneScape 3. Then what? People will sell everything and hoard the gold pieces. That's not Old School RuneScape.
