I think having it in Varrock would be keeping it to that Old School Vibe, I like that idea. But can we make it so players can access it in banks via Trading Post once they hit a certain Total Level or something of that nature? Just an idea..

The Grand Exchange was a bad idea, imo. But taking away the banks and forcing everyone to go to Varrock to use it is even worse. Let the bankstanders have their building but don't make Varrock be the only place you can buy things from someone who happens to be standing right next to you.

Having access to posted offers during trade was a great thing. Too bad that system is getting trashed. At least let me grab something I'm selling so I don't have to send this guy to go buy it somewhere else.

Very interesting. Well as I voted no to the Grand Exchange I am disapointed. I am also dispointed that the option to keep it where it is will never be available. Don't get me wrong they say it will be, but thats only if one of the others does not pass. The chances of the vote being that even, split as it is, between four options are very remote indeed, considering we've already seen a 76% vote for it. So the G.E is back, the G.E is moving, and will most probably end up in every bank. The ultimate pinnacle of the lazy Runescapers dream. As far as i'm aware the poll can either be voted on in its entirety, or not at all. As such the most a player wishing for it to not pass can do is vote for which ever option is losing to try and keep the poll equal. Not a very fair option really. Furthermore it is interesting how Jagex are offering a couple of features that I certainly didn't see mentioned before now. Certainly I cant say grimy herbs isn't a necessary and welcome change in my opinion, and has to be done for the G.E. That said the decanting of potions and jewellery were unmentioned, optional extras thrown in that I certainly would not vote for, but are now very likely to pass. Three extra bits of content that whilst not game changing, are not needed except for the herbs. It is interesting that Jagex have introduced this poll this way, all but ensuring the G.E will not be left where it was, and will be moved to another location, probably, from what i've seen so far in polls, whichever option they put at the top of the list.

Please poll offline trading. I believe this will help alleviate a lot of the merchers that let their offers sit in there for days without even logging in.

Also no to coinshare unless you fix the issue where too much money was coming into the game because items weren't being sold, but money was being generated.

It could be fixed by having the items medium price fluctuate as the market fluctuates.

@cookie: to clear up a couple things. The winning location option will be polled against the option of having it only in Varrock. But failing to have it in every bank is worst case scenario for those of us who didn't want GE in the fist place.
