Okay for the people that are voting NO on the poll, you're out of luck. It's at 75.3% right now and has been steadily increasing, which shows a pretty good chance of this staying above 75% and passing.

Therefore, all of you will have to accept that the GE is coming into the game. If you hate it so much and you want YOUR experience to stay the same, then it's pretty simple.

DON'T USE THE ******* GRAND EXCHANGE.

If you want to spend hours sifting through hundreds of auto talkers trying to find air runes then go ahead. The grand exchange won't harm your ability to waste your time to terribly much.

Ok infant.

Why don't you go back to RS3 and use legacy?
It gives you a disadvantage, that's why.

Don't worry though, after this update you'll have your GE.
The number of players WILL drop though.

Oh I know the update will come. I also seriously doubt the amount of players will drop. Besides, those who do quit will simply be replaced by people who had initially quit and are coming back for the GE update.

Jagex knows this.

I've already posted discerning my thoughts and opinions on this.

Again, I vote NO to GE. If Implemented I will quit.

As it stands now, I already have the bags packed and I'm ready to go.

me too!!

Well I'm quitting now since the exact replica of g\e has passed.

Rip osrs, and begins new age-osrs.

Wonder if jagex is going to be happy with the g\e when they realize its losing them about a million a year.

Tldr: 30% of the playerbase

Hell I bet this 30% of the player base,plays more than the 70% anyway as the 30 are dedicated\grinding fools from oldschool days, not this new age where everyone gets a trophy.

Change the freaking name at the very least, if you're going to continuously implement new content all of the time.

WOOP GE is going to pass

Don't worry, we've already forgotten about the people throwing tantrums and threatening to quit if the GE passes the poll. You will be easily replaced by the number of people coming back solely because of the GE. I wonder why over 60k people voted on this poll? HAHAHA...

I'm sure Jagex will enjoy a nice rise in the number of membership purchases

Lol. Not one player from RS3 will decide to play the exact same game with terrible graphics.

May it be right away or within 3 months, the number of players will decrease.

I, and I saw quite a few other posts, are already unsubscribing.

Oh and btw: once legacy mode gets improved, a great number of players that played osrs purely because of the combat will go back.

yep rip osrs, population will drop to under 10k [pretty much already is with all the people playing multiple account] by the end of the month g\e is released.

I for one already quit and liquidated my assets.

There are a lot of people acting like children on the forums and throwing temper tantrums when they don't get their way.

Honestly, you do vote with your wallet, but nobody cares that you're going to quit. You will be replaced. All these spam posts about quitting don't matter, because the truth is the vast majority of people prefer the Grand Exchange.

A game is fun when people enjoy it. If more people enjoy playing the game with the Grand Exchange (as clearly demonstrated in the poll) the game is more fun with a Grand Exchange, collectively, than it is without.

You're entitled to your opinion, G.E. haters, but you've been outvoted.

I really hope this GE vote won't pass but seeing how the voting poll works most times people just vote yes to almost anything and everything.
Voting no to GE, when GE was added it started to kill OSRS..I really don't like how 07 is becoming more and more easy like EOC sooner or later it will just become what people chose not to play which makes no sense at all

Your argument really makes no sense, the content like the G.E. is proposed by the community, and voted on by the community. So yes, people are choosing to play what they want...

I don't get how you arrived to the conclusion "it will just become what people chose not to play", because players are choosing all of the updates.

For every 1 person that quits with GE another 3 will join, so nobody cares.

How can they improve Legacy Mode? LM is just a beefed-up version of Momentum with an older interface. Have you even tried it?

The monsters are still half the cb lvls they were pre-eoc, non aggressive, you have 50% prayer prot instead of 100%, you dual-wield, monsters hit like a tenth of what they used, etc. It is absolutely nothing like osrs.

In conclusion, It is impossible to bring back the old combat system on RS3 without changing EoC completely. In other words, if you want the old combat system there will only ever be this.
