Why bother overcomplicating everything?... This is basically just an inferior GE that can still be abused by merchers. Was the GE ever polled? I think most people prefer 07 because it's pre-eoc, not because we want to play a version of RS that is extremely tedious and inconvenient.

Concerning this question:

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.

I think that we should implement two types of sell offers: 'Open' offers and 'Batch' offers.

'Open' offers let you buy either some or all of the items in the offer, allowing people to conveniently obtain that one plank/fish/whatever that they are looking for, albeit for a likely higher price. 'Batch' offers require that the buyer purchases the entire offer, and so can be used for selling large quantities of items at a reduced price, with the guarantee that they will all be brought.

Why don't you implement the ge and remove items that are sold in specific shops from it, that way the economy isn't being messed up, shops are still being used, and people can sell shop bought items to players through regular trading.

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.

Answer: I think this should work similiar to the G.E and offers should be up as long as possible. Something to help people buy from a seller who may be offline for connection issues, an update, hopping worlds, or anything can be to show when they last logged online and to have a *online/offline button* like the rs toolbar to show if they are currently online or offline.

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

Answer: Yes with the example as said above.

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

Answer: I would say yes maybe a max of 24 hours? or poll like 6 hrs, 12 hrs, 18 hrs and 24 hrs or longer. Basically to take care of people who sleep lol....and for those who go to class or for younger people in high school. Part of this long saught update before G.E was to make it convient for people to trade between worlds and not stand in one spot all day especially because of time zones but with the freedom of the tradional trading

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?

Yes. While I see people concerned that world 1 will be destroyed *face palm* it will never be destroyed.....remember when free trade and limits was set? People found junk trading to get around it. Basically the system should be similiar to the G.E but WITHOUT SET PRICING.....that's the only reason the G.E made people mad along with how they were determined.

To be continued

This should be the same as the G.E again but without set prices.......but we can always give the buyer the option to put if they want to sell all?

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?

I think this would be pretty good and if there was a system in order to search price ranges maybe? Then when ONLY those offers in the range you are looking for pop up you can decide or just be able to show lowest to highest would be good

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

Basically if anyone plays any games with ultimate team, the system should be similiar to that. The G.E basics should be used but added with extra features and WITHOUT SET PRICING. If someone wishes to buy my items for the price i set....it should instantly be sold no questions asked (like G.E) If someone however wants to offer a different price, there should be a tab called *offer* and then the player can put what they want to offer and just like when items were sold on the G.E, we should get a message saying *1 or more offers have been made to *whatever item*. You can then go and see what offer was made and choose to accept. Counters offer aswell. Once accpeted, the buyer will be able buy no problem. Players should be able to do this on the go....if possible. For multiple items there should be 2 tabs with offer. One for all and another for whatever amount you wish to buy. If the seller is only selling all then the tab would be disabled or a message alerting the buyer that *this seller wishes to only sell all*
