I Think G.E should be only in one place not accesable from any bank, just place it in Vwest like it was before or Falador or maybe Travely because that area is pretty inactive in Oldschool.

But in my opinion poll about place where should be G.E isn't that important at all.
The Poll should be about Limit districtions and how to avoid price manipulation by merc* clans. I like G.E idea , it will make our life much more easier,
but don't make huge mistake twice. Don't let players to manipulate prices,
Poll price manipulations and hard limit districtions.
I think items worth more than 1m should have Buy Limit 5 for every 24 hours and item worth more than 10m 1 per 24 hours.

Do sth to avoid price manipulation and Limits

Please leave the area where the GE was put way back when as it is now: in it's original state with Lucien etc.

Why not make a bazarlike place in the desert at Al Kharid? You could craft some runes, smelt your ores (and then put them in the GE, hehe), run some rounds on the rooftops or watch in the Duel Arena how others get slaughtered while waiting for your money or goods to be ready to be picked up :)

The Wildy also seems like a nice location for it and will make people think about using the GE. Add some risk to the convenience and laziness of it so it won't become to much like Easyscape or Buyscape. Not a PK'er myself, but it would create a nice sense of danger that is sometimes missing from the game.

Now that the GE cannot be stopped, best make the best of it I suppose ;)

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.

You're a contradiction within a contradiction. You tell me! How the hell are you going to want convenience in the GE, and you don't want it conveniently accessible in every bank? What kind of complete idiocy is that? Clearly, these are the kind of players who know nothing about OSR and the real meaning behind it as they plague our game and inject poor RS3 updates like this into it. I think you should've stayed in RS3.

As far as interaction goes, nothing is interactive about lazily placing your crap into a flawed and price-manipulated system and going about your neanderthalic ways versus working a barter even if it takes awhile and engaging in actual PTP trading. Also, nothing whatsoever is more interactive than seeing banks as ghost towns. Right?! So, come back with a more logical and intellectual post.

G.E. Location - In Varrock with accesses through Trading Posts in all bank locations makes the most sense, although I wouldn't say the Fallador location is a terrible idea. Some people welcome a small change and some won't, no big deal.
Could deposit boxes in various locations be used as "Sell only" options to the G.E.??

Grimy herbs - please yes, this will cut down on scammers trying to sell UNID herbs as higher level herbs (I don't know why ppl would buy them UNID but whatever)

Jewellery decanting - very nice idea, just wondering how this would apply to rings of recoil and rings of forging or will those just have their "crack" option to reset a player's count?

Potion decanting - as Mod Ash said, this will effectively kill Nardah (as well as Nardah Teleport scrolls). Above anything it will ultimately save people time cleaning up their banks and selling 4-dose potions.

Hopefully the addition of the Grand Exchange will increase the amount of players on Oldschool - as I know a lot of my friends have quit due to things that the game lacks, such as the GE - and a couple are going to start playing again due to the poll passing :)

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,

An argument against unids is that the same player could possibly make even more if they knew which herb they were selling. Former RS3 Completionist, On the road to Max old school

NO!
Use the existing TP furniture so that GE can be accessible in any bank. If players want convenience, then make it conveniently accessible in every bank, not just limited to one central location!

2. No price tracking please!
YES!
I agree. Rather than placing price tags on items for the masses and elite clans to manipulate, make a price range with only a minimum and maximum value. Also, let players see the offers like the TP does. That way, players have absolute control over prices instead of GE telling you a specific price.

3. Keep unidentified herbs the same.
MAYBE?
Old-school arbitrage and merchanting will be dead, and merchanting clans will manipulate prices if we get the same, old crappy GE system that tells you to buy or sell items at a specific price that will be influenced by merc clans and benefits them. Unidentified herbs could help sustain a form of old-school trading if that flawed RS3 system is in full effect. Yet, if we get a better GE this time around without the pricing, we might as well have grimy herbs instead.

There is no contradiction, merely an issue with the level of convenience.
Having a GE is a convenient solution to the pitifully silly trading post, and offsite trading sites, but having it accessible from everywhere is overkill, and completely kills the hub as a gathering point.

Sorry son, but I (and it seems 76.2% of the community) are not interested in your ''BarterScape''.
Deal with it.

Yes, because no one was ever bankstanding in the main game over the past 7 years since a GE was introduced, did they?


Either way, its irrelevant. Since this is just a survey, and the highest total option is going to be put to an official ''75% required'' vote, I seriously doubt it will have the numbers.
In which case, this whole thing is a futile waste of time when they could have focused on dealing with numerous other GE issues/tweaks. '' Grow up Raj, there's no place for truth on the internet. ''
