Though I voted no, I suppose this is what is best for the game. Will be interesting to see where it ends up, especially if it lands somewhere new.

Also the link to vote just opens up this thread in another window, I think you were instead trying to send clickers to the poll portion of the website.

Seriously? These are the only edits to the GE you could think of?..

Seriously. I think price manipulation and offline sales are far more important.
A poll on offline sales will never be priority for the simple reason that it is not going to happen. People voted yes for the g.e with the same mechanics as the g.e in rs3. It would be deception for them to now poll whether offline trading will be in since i would of voted no without offline trading.
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

well, at least we made it a couple years without GE... anyway, it will bring a great convenience to the game which many players, I'm sure, will appreciate. So...
1. Location: Falador.
2. no price tracking please!
3. keep unidentified herbs the same. its a business in osrs, a great way for players just starting out to make some cash and get into merching and trading items. "selling unids! 700gp ea!"


cheers,

Just.... wow.

Having a GE in oldschool was a convenience update that I was looking forward to.
Having maxed (well, 99s anyway) finally in RS3 I now had desire to return to OS, and having a GE made it more appealing, rather than ******** around with trading as it was.

Would it make it easier? Yes obviously, and I understand that is part of what many opposed.

But, to place access to it in every bank? What idiocy is that??
Of course a great number of people were ALWAYS going to vote for this. And they are doing it because it makes it even EASIER !

The central hub of the GE was what attracted people. Its what made them come together in one area, which led to interaction.
This idea will quash that completely.

Having a game driven by community polls is fine, but there has to be someone in charge of the game's direction, who can recognise poor ideas before they let them get to the polling stage.
OSRS lacks that it seems. '' Grow up Raj, there's no place for truth on the internet. ''

GE should have buy and sell offers. And NOT an average of all of the prices. This would make it a bit harder for merching clans to manipulate the prices.

I said the same thing. Thus, I definitely agree! I also don't want GE to have a central building and be accessible in every bank using the existing TP furniture. Although they claim they voted for GE for convenience, people mainly voted for it out of sheer laziness and herding, and nothing is convenient about accessing the GE from only one location. Be smart! How convenient is that? Do I look like I want to go all the way to Varrock or Falador just to access the GE whereas TP was in every bank? Otherwise, scrap the whole idea of bringing the GE back if it's going to be like RS3, and implement all the fallback options on the TP instead.
