This works for me. I'd rather buy through the system and not have to meet up with people. It's quicker and more convenient for both parties, I think.

Question: If we introduce a trading post through which you are able to buy items, should you be able to buy only part of a sellers offer if you want? For example, if the seller is selling 1,000 of an item, you can buy only 100 if you wish.

Yes.

Question: If we introduce a trading post through which you are able to buy items, should you be able to add buy offers for items and let the trading post find the best match for you?

Yes, yes, yes.

Question: Should we introduce a trading post where you can post trade offers which will be visible to everyone? Offers will only appear when the seller is online and you will need to trade through the existing trading system.

No, i'd much rather see a system similair to the current Grand Exchange on RS3. I'd like te be able to buy items overnight, such as quest items that are hard to find.

Question: If we introduce the trading post, should players’ trade offers be visible when they are offline?

Yes

Question: If players' trades are visible when they are offline, should they be visible for more than 6 hours?

Yes

Question: If we introduce the trading post should players be able trade items through it rather than having to meet up to trade through the existing trade system?

Question: If we introduce a trading post that matches offers for you, should your buy offers be visible when you are offline?

Yes

The Offer Should Stay Up For 1 Hour Even If You Sign Out Should Still Stay up,And You Shouldn't Have To Meat Up With The Person That Is Selling You The Item. But When You Get The Item Through The Trading System Should Go Straight To Your Bank Or A Part In The Trading System Like A Holding Box Ready For Collection.When A Person Sells The Item To You Says In Chat "You Received An Item You Put An Offer on From +++++++++(Name of Person) And Says Price Price. There Shouldn't Be TAX On Items. This Auction House Should Be On Every World Not Just World One Because It Is Sometimes Full. There Should be Banks In The Auction House. There Maybe Should Be More Than One Auction House 1 Where The Grand exchange is and One on in Camelot To The South , In the Space By Rangers Guild , Flax Pikers , Legends Guide and the Sorcers Tower , in the Area There So You have 2 Auction Houses on both sides of the Map instead of having to Teleport to the one in The Grand Exchange Place. It would be Good Having one in Camelot Because You Often See People Fletching and Training Fire Making. This Is My Opinion What i Would Like It To be Like Maybe Some Of You Will Not agree. :D

Here is how you fix the trading problems once and for all. The problem right now is having to spend so much time trying to find people to sell your items to. This leads to a lot of wasted time. To correct this problem, all you have to do is add something into the game where people can post their buy/sell offers for each trade-able item, and then after a certain period of time, lets say 24 hours, the players offer will disappear. There will also be an option to delete individual offers or all offers for each player so one doesn't have to see unnecessary posts by individuals who have already bought or sold what they have to. With this solution, the annoying problems of having to post the same offer over and over again will be corrected and no buying or trading will take place while someone is offline because you will still have to meet up with the player or players you are wanting to trade with.

An additional feature that could be added to this solution is to give each player the ability to buy items directly from the system while both parties are online. This would eliminate the hassle of having to meet up with each player for every item you wanted to buy. You would just be able to buy and sell at a central location without having to run all over to buy and sell what you needed. This additional feature would be best implemented by setting up an interface where the buyers, who access the system, see a list of all the different people selling a certain item and then have to click on the person who they want to buy from. On this list, there should be an indicator by each person, and this indicator should tell the buyer if the seller is online or not, and it should also tell the buyer if the seller has the items for sale directly on the system. As previously stated in the first paragraph, if the seller's post has been up for 24 hours or more, the post should be removed, so that the system does not get crowded by unnecessary posts. Id add more but no more characters...

Interesting, I appreciate the effort mod mat k, it must be difficult trying to please so many people with differing opinions on the update. Hopefully at least something passes the poll. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

Q1) Yes
Q2) Only for a select time frame (30minutes), as people may want to hop, get disconnected etc.
Q3) No form of trading should occur whilst players are offline. Players should not be able to progress through the game whilst they're offline.
Q4) Players should meet up to trade.

My answers to the following questions are based off if the Q4 where to pass the pole, i however will vote "No" on Q4.
Q5) If it where to pass, Yes.
Q6) If it where to pass, Yes.
Q7) No, as i mentioned before all trading should be done whilst players are online.

I like where this is heading.

I just think that if we have to vote about how something should be in the game that's not in the game, it should be a 50/50 vote.

It's like starting off saying you're going to put a dragon in the game, and saying
"Do you want a new BLUE dragon in the game?"
"If so, do you want it to be red instead of blue?"

With 50/50 poll, for choosing specifics for something already polled into the game it would be as follows.

The first question would need 75% vote to make it into the game, because we are changing content.
The second poll should need 50% vote, because we are deciding how we want it in the game, and if 73% of people want a red dragon, and not a blue dragon, on a dragon that isn't even in the game yet, they're going to fail, resulting in a blue dragon when majority of the players actually wanted red. If this was 50% poll, it would allow more player control by saying that majority of players want a red dragon instead of blue, so we are going to put a red one in.... instead of the blue one.. which is how it should be.
