Even though I have personally objected the GE from the beginning I know see that it has a real chance to boost the Deep Wilderness PKing scene.

The solution is simple: Place the GE in level ~22 Wilderness in the place of the old BH crater, surround it with multi combat area and Voilà; you have ensured the survival of the Deep Wilderness PKing scene for years to come.

Anyone who was there pking outside the crater between BH stairs and CW will know what a chance there is now in our grasp.

I actually really like this idea lol. Whether you're serious or not, this should actually be considered.

Example: Are you bored of bankstanding? Walk a few steps from the bank into wildy and fight someone or go kill a wildy boss or train agility or go KBD or go to the resource area. It's all close enough to be a real option to anyone that doesn't feel like running all the way to Canifis or going to Shilo Village to do something.

Edit: Yes, I know how unrealistic an idea like putting a huge trading center in wildy would be, but it does sound cool.

Or just keep it where it should be in Varrock lol. Not sure why this 'One in every bank' nonsense is even being surveyed. Why even give a chance to an idea so bad? Sorry to whoever came up with it, but cmon. Just put it where it should be as quickly as possible and enough with all the other GARBAGE.

If you just spent the last year complaining we "need grand exchange" because you don't like world 1 varrock, how in hell can you now insist on having the original setup? Moving the sheep 200 feet northwest but still having them crammed in the same spot is stupid. Break it up.

Just like other people have already noted, I find it ironic how people want this game to be easier by demanding GE and when the option of having it in every bank comes up they think it makes it too easy?!

I also don’t buy the interact argument, as someone else said if they wanted to interact with other people they wouldn’t have voted for GE in first place (they would have voted old school if they Actually were For interaction). They voted GE because they wanted trading to be easy, plain and simple.

(for the record I don't want GE, let alone in every bank but I'm pointing out the obvious double standards)

Almost everything I wanted to say is already stated in these 2 posts. I was strongly against the implementation of the G.E. in OSRS, but if enough people voted for it for the sake of easy trading, you may as well make it in every bank. And what is supposed to even mean?:

What do you mean, " should be "? Old School Runescape is supposed to be based on 2007 Runescape...in other words, there should be no G.E. at all. So if there is going to be one anyway, who has the right to say that it should be where it is in RS3?

The Grand Exchange was released in November 2007. It should be in west Varrock where it was placed originally. You and all the other idiots like you that keep associating Grand Exchange with RS3 are the reason OSRS is so held back in all the updates that would make this game more fun and less slow.

I really think a 5% or 10% tax should be implemented when using the GE to help prevent merching, inflation and to keep normal trading viable. Many people would happily pay the tax for the convenience, removing masses of gold from the economy to offset what is coming in via PVM ect.

Nobody will ever "happily" pay a tax. Why are people even trying to suggest this ridiculous idea.

1/4 of the community that was able to vote, over 15,000 people voted no. Minority or not, that's still a large number of people and they don't want it at all. At least it's not complete majority rule where like 51% yes and it would pass.

Firstly, if you're going to nit-pick, I guess I should have said that OSR was designed to emulate the pre-G.E. era of Runescape (hence there was no GWD when OSR first came out). There's a reason it didn't pass the first time it was polled. Runescape just before the Grand Exchange came into fruition was considered Runescape's prime by a lot of veteran players.

Second, calling me an idiot and then setting yet another double standard on yourself isn't helping your argument. If I'm an 'idiot that keeps associating the G.E. with RS3', then why do you insist that it's placed in the same spot that it resides in RS3? What is the point of OSR if it goes through the same phases that the main game has already gone through? This is supposed to be its own game, not 'let's just go back in time and watch us slowly move towards the present'.

Lastly, you ignored the entire point of my post. The MAIN reason why people use the G.E. is for easy trading****-read the posts I quoted in my previous post. There is no reason why we shouldn't just have G.E. functions in every bank if we want to get rid of old-fashioned bank-standing for the sake of saving time.

(Also, fun is subjective.)

EDIT: didn't get the full quote for some reason.

People claim to care about this game and support this fact by the amount of feedback they constantly give to everybody

However something is annoying me! IF YOU CARE SO MUCH WHY CAN'T YOU READ...

The information is laid out right in front of people and they still get confused.

There's one solution and it's the same solution to not getting yourself lured by other players. READ, OBSERVE and ACT. Too many people are just skim reading(sometimes) and then straight away acting.

I don't think it is jagex's fault when they have put the information out clear as day, I was able to read it and the words there aren't hard to comprehend!

Another thing is the feasibility of information you have read, sometimes even I get mixed up in what I thought I read and what is actually true in these cases you read the information again before you do anything.

It's so easy just make sure you 100% understand what you are voting on before you vote we get plenty of time to vote and vote's cannot be changed once they are made
