i would like to see the ge. the trading post will never be what everyone wants it to be, for example our current trade system is based off of the zybez website, why do we still use it even though the trading post is out? because its convenient, you can search items from anywhere, but the main point zybez is still used by most players is because of deals, there's no median just sell offers on the trading post, you have no way of knowing what a good deal is. also same world trading? most people will be in the same bank area, also another problem with our current trade system is the scammers. how many are there? today i tried selling my dragon full helmet and i got about ten trades in about 1 hour of people trying to take the money off or send me to meet their main in cammy, this can be prevented with the ge. also people are scared of the item flipping within the ge. my personal opinion on this is that it would have most of the scammers focus their energy on not breaking in game rules, instead of trying to scam they would be trying to flip items. right now it only takes one lucky trade or misclick to make someone quit this game forever. people are saying how the ge will make it easier for everything. the ge would make buying and selling easier but that it about it. lets say you want to get 99 herblore, can you imagine how long it would take to buy that amount of supplies? ten hours of xp would cost you another twenty hours of buying and selling. why cant you just focus on xp, with the ge you would get thirty hours of xp for thirty hours instead of all the buying and selling to people who want to low ball your offer or try to scam or even those people who want like 5 potions when you have 10k to sell. my point is our current trade system is unstable and the trading post just didn't work in the way people wanted it to that being said i vote yes to the grand exchange. :)

ahh i forgot to add the fun of selling 1-99 slayer tabs with our current system o well

All you guys say there will be no interaction with ge. But where is it now? This is what it is now.

Example: "hi, may I buy your phat" "yes my world v west" you trade the seller "ty" "ty"

Where is the big interaction there? Not very much, the G.E will bring that up because it will be a main hub for people to hang out, skill, and talk to each other. That's more interaction then nothing at all thanks to the trading posts.

Yes for G.E. because without it merchers and over pricers run the economy.

When this passes OSRS will be dead to me. It's going the exact same way RS3 went and won't have any nostalgia because the gameplay will be fundamentally changed.

Polls really should have been set at 95% pass rate - 1 in 4 people not supporting an update is a very significant portion.

Should have only been 51%, majority vote should always win.

Should have been 80%, 75% is too low.

If it was 80% and we reached 80% you'd be saying it should have been 85%, you're all just salty. Most people want the GE, stop trying to make it sound like it wasn't fair for the minority.

Incorrect, I've wanted a increase for a long time, months before this poll.

Get your facts right and don't post asinine comments.

Most people are the people who are voting yes on 8 accounts or so. I saw a guy who voted yes on 12 accounts. This is no people this is one person. And people are making accounts also to vote, you have like 5 days to get 280 total. All the bots are going to vote yes for this. This is no real 1 player gets a vote thing. :P

Jagex doesn't care, they get paid money via membership fee / bond purchases that allow people to do multiple voting. This is something that they need to seriously try to look at instead of dismissing it. Perhaps devise a system where players can have multiple characters/modes of game play (i.e. ironman) on 1 account. And only allow them to vote once on that account. If they do this, I won't mind paying extra for membership, as it'll stop this nonsense-unending character creation that they're probably only going to play 1 once, vote, perhaps get 30 wc, and log off.
