I like Runescape 2007 but i dont want the GE i am happy enough with the trading post. It wil ruin the game. If we put the GE in Runescape 2007 then can just consider to change this to EoC to. But like the dragon defender tho.

And every bank will be empty but the ones at the GE. It'll get real boring fast. I don't mind meeting players and stuff but if we have to choose between GE or trading post improvement I will defintely choose for the latter**** has a too big of a negative impact on OSRS.

I really don't understand these people. G.E. came late 2007, dragon defender came late 2010, and yet you dare to say this game will turn into EoC if the G.E. is going to be added... "But I like the dragon defender tho"... like wtf..........

I agree with DarkGamer226 on basically all of his comments regarding player interaction.

I may have missed something as I skimmed through it, but I feel that GE has some major flaws.
Firstly, item manipulation is a major issue for me and many. With the GE update, it is partly solved with the item limits, but would still be completely doable as shown in Pre-eoc with the "Price manipulation clans". The item limits would need to be extremely low to ensure that a clan full of 50-100 people couldn't just keep buying at their limit to manipulate. The "price suggestion" is an additional feature of GE that would only help price manipulation.
Secondly, I believe item limits excludes a vital part of the community. Mercher's, although often controversial, offer bulk items up for sale to the community. Without them, the community would have to do multiple trades with other resource gatherers to satisfy the amount that they need. Consider suppliers (resource gatherers), retailers (merchers), and customers. Item limits will only reduce the ability for merchers to operate.
Thirdly, (I'm unsure if this has been addressed with GE) offline trading is not in the spirit of OSRS. I think it takes away a huge part of the game if you are able to trade offline or instantly trade with other players. This was partly addressed in the trading post suggestion, but has room for improvement.

I will not be voting for GE as I think there are major flaws.

Improvements for the trading post.
- I would suggest adding a buy offer feature.
- I don't think instant trading should be there
- It would be great to see statistics from items traded for those interested. (maybe not like GE shows the average price through graphs though)

I hope enough of the community vote 'no' to the Grand Exchange & Automated trading. Honestly we don't need this update; it will push players farther away from interacting with one another & increase prices of "buyable skills" to an unpractical value.

Like I said on the other thread, I am voting no to the Grand Exchange, trading is already very easy and I have no problems with selling or buying items at all. The Grand Exchange only benefits merchanters, flippers and these ''no xp waste'' fanatics. I understand that there will be limits, but that won't be enough. Just look at the market of RS3 and I do not have to explain anything.

I am surprised that you are offering a coinshare option. A feature that causes a lot of gold to enter the game with inflation as a result. Do you seriously not learn from your mistakes?

Furthermore, I am voting no on trading through the post, because you apparently don't have to be on the same world and inside a bank anymore.

On to the next thing, I'd like to see the dragon defender being added, but not from the Warrior's Guild, so I will vote no on that for this reason.

For the last options, I will probably vote yes on most of them.
