If possible, I'd also like to see a tweak of the trade limit. On items that you can buy less than 101 of in a 4 hour time period, it'd be nice to have the time limit decreased to one hour. If that's not possible, then two hours at most.


NO trade limit. If I want to buy 50k dbones I want to buy 50k dbones and not wait million years to finally get them.

I thought > 75% wanted to make trade easier.

I thought you didn't like being crammed into one space with the stupid "trading bots" and spammers.

Now that you're getting GE some 50% want to take it away from all of runescape and force ALL of us into that one spot?? What the hell is wrong with you people? Seriously, if you told me "don't like the GE? just don't use it then!" and then you voted to take away the trading posts, then you were just talking out your ass.

Also, it looks like the same, old, stupid RS3 GE will be implemented here. There's no originality about it that sets it apart from being just like RS3 other than getting the same, old stupid system back. Where's the innovation? Let's stick it in Varrock where the cattle can gather and turn all banks into ghost towns. Also, let's incorporate the same, old stupid system into OSR. At least, the TP allowed players to see the offers, and it didn't revolve around one stupid, manipulated price on every item**** gave players a great deal of freedom and control, which is something the GE never afforded us, but the voting cattle didn't think about that.


They put people behind jagex oldschool team that have no heart for OSRS.


This is so true. :(

please bring the grand exchange soon.... just got scammed for 6m because of the trading post, now i know i should have looked to see if the dragon bones i was buying were really in fact just "big bones" classic scam right? But i really was tired of looking for bones in trading post and got anxious to get my hands on so many at one time. if the grand exchange was here this problem would never have happend, as i could have trained while i waited for my items to buy. Just silly that i should even have to worry if the item im buying is "real" or not. please work on this... for the record the scammers name was "smger" i was unable to report him because i accidently rage logged.

Grand Exchange should be accessible from every bank. If it's only in Varrock, it'll end up damaging OSRS the same way Rs3 is damaged. All the other towns will be ghost towns. Everyone will be forced to stick around Varrock if they want to make a trade.

I see a lot of posts here that say it'll kill the main GE if it's accessible from every bank. Why should every town be killed off because you guys want to camp out in 1 area of the map? If anything there should be a major GE in every major town. Falador & Ardougne should have a GE as well.

What was the purpose of us starting over in OSRS if you guys are just gonna make the game more & more like Rs3?

I agree with Huey's post 100% and really wished people stuck to what they voted on for the survey. However after given some time and thought I have tried to come up with a list of pros as to why a centralized location for GE can be good:

1. The GE itself won't become a ghost area , meaning it would just kinda be there with nobody at it. Why go to it unless just for pure nostalgia? I understand people would still need to decant their things there, but it still kinda defeats the whole purpose of having the actual GE.

2. I feel the cities aren't populated enough as it is . The people that are in the cities skilling and hanging out (thinking of Seer's bank) is mostly because of trading purposes. Resources are nearby, trying to be efficient, or both especially if you're an Ironman. While fletching at that Seer's bank for an example, they may be passively waiting for someone that's selling or buying more fletching materials. With GE this part now becomes mostly irrelevant.

3. Continuation of #2, the spread out players in the near-empty cities can all come together for one centralized location. Even on RS3 some players still skilled at the banks in major cities, so they won't become completely empty still.

4. Maybe this can be repolled later to have GE access using trading post furniture in all banks down the road. In which case this isn't the end for the cities. Things do get repolled eventually, such as the grimy herbs.

Again, I am against having a centralized location, but this is the best optimism I can do with GE being in one spot. Tbh, I'm happy with GE at all in the end and it's still a big step forward for me. :)

To all those whining about the outcome of the current GE tweaks poll:

I hope you whiners voted NO in the poll last week to implement the GE. Because you're getting exactly what was voted for in that poll. The RS3 GE. The same worthless RS3 GE that's been broke for 8 years and counting.

We're stuck with it now. I hope you yes voters are happy. 75% poll to fix it, and the merc* clans and price manipulators don't want it fixed. Great jobs folks.
