I would really like to see a report system for abuse..even ***3* found that a large amount of offers were bogus..simply trying to manipulate prices or to move another's offer down the list.....Otherwise we will have same problem that lead ***3* to have to require acct verification....

Has jagex considered a way to combat trolls (and trade clans) from making its use a waste of time by listing phoney offers that when u contact buyer they say ..sorry just sold.

If you let the players view all of the offers that are available to them, this would reduce people trying to manipulate the economy. You could witness them doing it by viewing the offers of other players.

As far as the "should you buy partial amounts of an item". I think the seller should be able to decide if people are allowed to widdle away at their item.

@ToM pO**z
For multiple reasons:
- The game must remain a challenge
- I like to meet up for trades rather than interact with an AH
- To prevent domination by merchers
- To keep the benefits of gathering + processing skill (make your own supplies)



The game will still be a challange because there is competion in pricing as always and an auto trading system just makes it 100% rather than 50% of players using a 3rd party site and the other 50% depending on world 1 and the forums....which is why merchers are making money. For example: Grocery stores vs convient stores *hence the name* If your nearest grocery store is 10-20 minutes by drive vs your convient store being 1 minute and let's say you need milk. Most likely the convient store's prices are always higher and have low selection in brands vs a grocery store. If you have no vehicle or it breaks down and you have to walk, you are forced to pay the higher price *just like if you don't use a 3rd party site for prices, you go by what's being spammed in world 1* Merchers will still merc* because of time zones, that never will stop but to stop clans, you have to give ALL players 100% chance to SEE what EVERYONE is selling and what for rather than have everyone spread out. Being able to sell MORE isn;t making the skill any easier and you STILL have to put in the same amount of hard work. The only difference is having the ability to buy/sell to people in other worlds which just eliminates the time on buying and selling.

I'm glad that a
trading system
is going to be added to the game. I don't want to argue with anyone, but I hate the spamming auto-typers filling up the banks. I don't mind even if Jagex adds the GE into OSRS. It makes trading so much faster and you can go play the real game instead of standing in a spot and typing.

By the way, the GE was added
August 2007
. (So technically the GE is old school)

But anyway I support the trading post / auction house / whatever ;)

This is why I hope the put a system that shows the average price, what the lowest and highest offers are and maybe even a graph like **b. Also you should not be able to offer something you don't have and use the basics of the G.E in which the items sits up there for people to buy and if they wish to offer something different, there should be an offer tab. You will recieve a message stating an offer has been made to said item just like when items are sold of the G.E in RS3 and can choose to accept it or counter. If you do, the buyer will then be able to purchase the items for the price agreed. This still gives people the trade face to face feeling but just from a distance

I agree that the evolution of combat would have ruined the game if the GE hadn't already killed it. Me and my friends play for another 2 years or so after the GE and quit because of how much the GE changed the game in a negative way and I didn't even hear about the evolution of combat until I came back into the game because of Old School RS. I started playing in 2001 and thoroughly enjoyed the game as a paid member till the GE ruined it. and the GE again Without Taxation!!!! will kill it again. Period.
