Honestly everyone has their own opinion and you 24% need to stop bitching. It was 76 - 24. You guys are in the huge minority. I play osrs for the combat not to trade bots spamming in world 1. I've been playing since 05 as well. You 24% can quit if it upsets you that much. We won't mind more players will join than will leave. Not to mention you guys will be back in 2 weeks or less.

Honestly, everyone does have their own opinion, so shut up and let me voice mine on behalf of that 24%, which all the GE noobs happily keep bringing up. If it wasn't for pure narrow-mindedness and your masters ordering you to vote yes, and if you actually knew a damn thing about what old school truly means, it wouldn't pass even on its best day. It was rigged in favor of the GE from the start, and that 76% is an absolute farce and a laughing stock especially since we're getting back the same, crappy old GE of RS3 with all its flaws intact. If you sold out because you couldn't cut the mustard here, then that's your prerogative, but I don't have to heed your shallow-minded advice. Leave it up to you guys, and we'll have EOC/RS3 back here in no time.

Nana always told me that there's more stupid people that inhabit this world than smart ones, and she said that I'd see it for myself. Nana was right, and it's clearly evident in the last couple of polls as well as the forums.

First, you didn't vote on auto trading for the TP, which sounds very much like a nod to the GE to me. Second, you vote for the same, old RS3 version of the GE without any changes especially the necessary ones in order to prevent repeating the same mistakes (e.g. easy price manipulation). You and the rest of the sheep also failed to suggest or think about adding any innovations to it, such as showing offers like the TP did, to appeal to the old-school way. Now, you don't want GE in all banks because it'll make it too easy despite that you voted for GE to make it easy.

You want GE, then make it better by doing the following:

1. Make it so that the GE doesn't formulate, price tag, or set prices (GE values) on items. By doing so, the price can't be easily manipulated, and players won't be coerced into buying or selling at the manipulated "market price" all the time. Also, players will maintain a great degree of control over prices rather than the system telling them a formulated buying or selling price. Instead, the GE or price checker should only provide a price range on an item. That would also eliminate the dreaded hassle of buying or selling at 5% over or under the market price. For example, the price of mind runes would show 3-5 GP instead of 4 GP.

2. Like the TP, the GE should show candidate offers from other players so that players can ultimately decide on the best offer rather than going gung-ho on a totally automated system.

3. Instead of a totally automated system, the GE should have a "Buy from Player X" and "Sell to Player X" option. Afterwards, the money or items can be collected from the collection box or the GE.

4. If players need to price an item, it should be done in the same manner as the GE. It should only include a price range (the minimum and maximum price) without giving an absolute value in a similar fashion as OS Buddy's price checker.

5. The only time the mean price, absolute value, or GE value of an item should be implemented is with Coin Share and Loot Share. Otherwise, buying and selling items should be based on a price range and players' willingness.

6. In the event of a newly-released item, again, no GE-suggested price or market value should be given. It should be entirely up to the players to determine the price range as will all items.

7. Lastly, make the GE accessible and available in every bank rather than in just one location. People claim the GE is convenient, but nothing is convenient about being limited to trading in one spot whereas the TP was in all banks.
