Personally, I believe the worry about merchanting is ridiculous, as I believe merching cannot be taken out of the game. People have merched since the beginning of the game, there's nothing that will stop them from merching now. I've never merched while playing this game, but I firmly believe no matter what is implemented, or not, won't help or hinder the merching in the game. BECAUSE OF THIS, I believe that we should add a GE that uses the same mechanics, but allows players to choose the price they post offers at. One major problem with the original GE was that it caused the price guidelines to be generated by a computer based on supply and demand, and because of this, whips in the eoc are now 70k. I believe if we update the price guidelines to be generated based on others OFFERS, we could keep the prices of items right where they are. I believe this will get rid of the 'GE will ruin economy' bandwagon. I do not believe that the worry over offline trading should matter, as merching will not be ended by any means, so the worry about it should not factor into our new game play.

Thank you for your time to read my post, and I hope it is supported by many other players, as it is by me.

First off, thanks jagex. Your recent update ideas tell me that you really are reading our forums thoroughly. Heres my feedback:

I personally wouldn't want a new trading system at all, so lets make sure we have a vote option to not have any solution at all.

IF we did have a new trading solution, here are my guidelines.
1) N0 offline trading. (I want to communicate with who I trade with)

2) Lets try and keep it in or near varrock bank? i'd feel pretty depressed and maybe lose some feeling of nostalgia to see varrock bank dead all the time

3) Allow the seller to toggle between "sell in increments" and "sell in bulk". Maybe either have a button for that, or let the players work it out.

4) Players HAVE to meet up to trade. It will pretty much be a copy of the ge otherwise, and will make the game way too easy, and feel stale.

5) Oh and NO PRICE GUIDE

You could just check the current offers at the trading post and base your price on it.

Just make the offers stay online and offline for a maximum of two or three hours. Then give an option at your bank to "renew offer" which will update it for another two or three hours. This way your are required to be interacting with the game to keep your offer valid and you are not being compromised by your offer running out while you are slaying or at godwars because you will more than likely bank before the two or three hours is up.

What depth of communication are you actually looking for? Using the third-party service and common trades in-game, the most you will normally say is "Ty". 90% of trades are like this. If you want the human aspect, you can easily find it through other means than trading alone. You can even find people while trading at the Auction House to talk with. Tired of seeing spam at highly populated areas? Check out my Comprehensive Chat Filter suggestion!.

this sounds pretty nice, but i realy dont agree that your offer will expire if you log off, that means if i go asleep people wont be able to buy what i am selling. And that you have to trade the item with the player and not within the auction house itself, that will take way more time to sell an item. i think that your offer has to expire at a maximum of 2 days.
