Since the vote passed, I'd like to point out that i voted no for the grand exchange mainly because it said that it will be placed in varrock.
I love the idea of it being placed in falador, though. Creating multiple areas for people to hang out at is always a welcoming thing.

I'd like to suggest an easy solution for the herb problem. The grand exchange should be able to turn unids into grimy herbs. My main concern is for people farming herbs at chaos druids or somewhere far from a bank. They shouldn't be able to know what kind of high-level herb they have in their bag unless they have the proper herblore level to do so. If they were to have a low level, they still would have to bank all 28 herbs, because they don't know what they are, unless they want to turn them into grimy herbs.

You could also add a fee of turning unids into grimy herbs (making normal unids untradeable through the G.E.).

Please consider that there are some ways that do not change the game so immensely. (As for turning unids into grimy herbs, it is a quite big change)

Sincerely,

constant or daily price changes need to be left out.
you can look at the trading post on just about anything and see why,it wasn't evident when the ge was released in rs2 because you cannot see the trade offers.
impatient ppl want the ge to operate like a store;instant trades.so they sell at a ridiculously low price,down goes the price tomorrow.
this is not supply and demand,and no matter what the price is each day,down it goes tomorrow,until it hits alch value.

i will refresh the memory of old players and educate the new,prior to ge the first time:
on the forums was a price guide,it was only changed/updated 2 or 3 times per year,not because it wasn't tended to but because prices didn't fluctuate much.

it's not a stock market,while you might find a similarity on some items to the commodities exchange,it is not.let's not turn it into one again.

Would it be possible to show the names or players selling or buying on the G.E. so players can try to avoid trading players with bot names?

Would it be possible to see actual prices of several items instead of just a general mid price?

I support Herbs showing what they are in the name.

I want the G.E. in all banks, and probably prefer Falador over Varrock, though either would work.

If the G.E. is in all banks its not really necessary for there to be a full sized G.E. in either town, though the original one central bank in both places might be nice.

Maybe a smaller G.E. could be added to both Falador and Varrock, and possibly other towns as an option? Hi.

The reason it should be in every bank and not one location, is not to make it OP, but to have it detract from normal interaction as little as possible. Places like seers bank become ghost towns when everyone has to go somewhere else to access the GE.

What a joke... you expect any of the options in this poll to get near 75% when you have 5 different option? Each option should have been its own question with 'yes' or 'no'.
Obvious bias among the Jmods now...

If I understand correctly, none of the options need to reach 75% in this survey. The survey if I understand correctly is to determine which option goes into the poll. Hi.

First of all i wish we would of seen a vote to add to the trading posts before you just burn the idea you spent time making in the past..... waste of time.
Already feel like this old school game i joined is being ruined im already getting ready to quit like i had to when EOC was starting to get incorporated.
Now your just making the game to easy and ruining what most of the loyal players have worked for and is going to be dimminished. Offline trading shouldnt happen.
Only thing i like about this blog would be that you can trade from each bank. that way i wont just run into the GE area and lagg terribly like you would in runescape before it was destroyed.
Good start tho guys, now you just have to up the membership again, then ruin the combat system. and you will be back to nearly no players, expect the cowardly and lazy.

Kk thanks, missed that detail. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.
