Can we please poll the ability to see real prices in the GE?

I mean who really cares where you put the GE? As long as you can teleport there, that's it. Done.

UNID herbs? So what? Who cares if they go in the GE or not?

Can we maybe concentrate on fixing the broke implementation that is the RS3 GE, rather than trying to put lipstick on a pig? I thought we were going to poll REAL changes to the GE.

Why do things keep getting repolled? I don't understand this. It's simple, herbs should only be tradable in the grand exchange, once identified. It creates a new aspect to herblore, forcing people to interact with other players, to get their herbs identified, so they can sell them, OR, train herblore. Which would make it a much more valuable skill.

The fact that anything can be repolled is total nonsense, and disrespectful to the players that voted in previous polls. It also takes away a lot of credibility to the game.

In a few months, can we have a third grand exchange poll? Of course not. I mean, seriously.

(shouting removed, sic) Please someone answer my question: Why r we having a main-big building Grand Exchange in Varrock, if were having it accessable in every bank in every city of Runescape?
Why have a main big building? Because many people say they want it for sentimental reasons, like it "was". They all piled into Varrock West Bank and refused to leave, shouting trade orders at each other and complaining on the forums that they weren't getting anything done, and now they want to go do the same thing at the GE while waiting for their junk to sell.

Why have it accessible from every other bank? For all the rest of us. Here's a hint: "I don't understand how people can NOT want the GE to come, if you don't like it then just don't use it, duh!" Well, here's our chance to do just that, unless you force all GE trade into one location and you will take away from the rest of the game all the players that would rather not go there and force them to go there anyway.

Hi

I didn't vote for GE, but a few ideas, Maybe the GE could be located in Ardy, seeing it is meant to be the trading town and all, which would mean new accounts can't just go to the GE easily without having to do a couple of quests, and when you guys eventually bring out F2P, it would add as a nice Members Benefit to bring more people to want to become a member. Just a thought :P

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.
Very much seriours and not at all unrealistic. Those who guessed or predicted that GE would eventually be added in OSRS were not taken seriously in the beginning but now it is a reality. If the community can be persuaded of the benefit of adding GE in Wilderness it could of course be arranged. Nothing is unrealistic in Runescape.

After PKing moved outside the BH crater and once again spread around the vast area of Wilderness and integral PKing scene still survived because the empty BH crater & BH stairs & CW building offered just the right conditions for convenient clan & team PKing. Those conditions do not exist at the moment because the Wilderness lacks a bank surrounded by multi-combat area and accessible by a no-rune teleport.
