This is a pointless trade solution. This is exactly what **** does. The only way I would support this is if they made it more convenient than going on **** or if it offered something more than ****.

Yes, exactly. It offers an alternative while keeping many merchanting methods possible. If automated trading was introduced, the time required to make methods such as buying key halves, charging jewelry, collecting odd items, etc, would be abolished. This fixes the difficulty of trading while not changing a whole lot.


Once again, thanks Matt. I appreciate this.


BINGO!!!!!

The Auction House idea is fantastic....I can't understand the negativity from some players.

------------------------
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?

Definitely YES.
-----------------------

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.

Not to sure about this...from the Seller PoV....I would say No
But...
From the Buyers PoV...I would say 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.....I like this
------------------------
Question: If we introduce a trading post that matches offers for you, should your buy offers be visible when you are offline?

Yes....Of Course
------------------------

I hope this "Auction House" becomes a reality soon.

I actually like this idea as it will allow us to utilize a forums type marketplace much better for those who DO NOT use the forums. However using the forums will be faster, easier, and more efficient.

I believe it doesn't change much, but it should only be available in banks.

It should work offline as in players can see submissions from offline players.

All offers should be shown in the order they were added with newest first! Updating an offer should push it up to the top.

This post should show both buy/sell offers.

It should NOT allow the players to buy any of the items off it, but rather meet up trade them.

Players should have to revisit the bank to update their offers.

Please poll the last questions first as I will vote no or yes depending on how this trading post is added. The trading post should only be polled after how it is designed is polled. If not than this is an unfair way of polling it as people will vote based on how they want it to be design and vote 'yes' instead of voting no/yes depending on if it was added well.

Merchant clans will wreck this idea. Abyssal whips will go down to 60k like they have in EOC, 2 Bil will no longer be worth anything, Jagex will start making Torva and HD graphics for 07, and thus this will soon become RuneScape 4. Very disappointed with this update.

This isn't old school anymore.

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.

Yes.

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. A lot of players go on vacation and don't want their stuff to fall in value while they're gone, so they should be able to be sold whenever someone wants to buy them.

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?

Maybe an instanced server (not really in-game like G.E) would work well? Something like a clan citadel, except obviously not a clan citadel.

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.

As someone said earlier, I think the seller should choose to sell in increments, all, or any amount.

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?

No. If no one is selling it then you shouldn't be able to put a buy offer in. I would like an Auction House-like 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 sellers will want to know what offers are out there, even if they can't confirm them at that time.
