After reading through many comments made, I can see how this is a very sensitive subject with many different points of view and hopeful outcomes of this update.

From my personal in game experience, this is a needed update. I came back to Oldschool because of a love for the game, but many years have passed, and I have a full time job and no where near as much free time to play the game. Which then means when I am trying to buy or sell items, especially items that are not necessarily in great demand, it can lead to a lot of time spent on zy(b) and in overpopulated worlds filled with spam, simply trying to buy or sell one item that I need to carry on with the game. I enjoy playing the game, very much so, but I do not enjoy the amount of time wasted filtering through sell/buy posts, of people who are no longer buying or selling that item, or sit in w1 varrock west, straining my eyes trying to find that one person.

All I personally want from this update, is a trade system that allows me to instabuy/sell at an above average price if I need that item immediatly, or to put it in at a competitive price and simply wait for it to buy/sell, so that I can get on with my game, and not have to keep meeting people every 5 minutes if I am buying/selling in bulk with no bulk sellers/buyers available or stand around waiting to meet people.

Seems like you took steps back into the trading solution.

At this point i'd rather just have grand exchange with its simplicity - except without a 100 item limit. there is too much diversity in what players want and do no want, however the current RS07 community already demonstrated - "US" as a whole cannot be self sufficient and need boundaries & a staff that can actually deploy updates to help the game w/o the players consent.

sorry to say, but its what the game has come too - its like mere children running around saying they want this, they want that - but are never truly happy with the outcome nor was there a possible problem in the first place.

To make things short & Direct:
Add the grand exchange - or don't, currently there is no trading problem at all. ***3* works completely fine - people use that and are happy about it (the only bother is dealing with offline trades & fake posts from time to time)
UNBAN 3RD AGE MAGE.
BRING BACK JACK!

The trading post should be like an auction house but with out the auction. You should be able to post your item up on the board with a price, the items should also stay up for 24hrs. When you search an items name, it should have both buy and sell offers under it (unless the trade has been transacted). If you want to negotiate with the buyer/seller a check box should be available to check when a sell offer or buy offer is created which makes it so that your players name is not anonymous. Then you can click there name select add and negotiate with the other player. another check box could be offer to say all or none which would address buying portions of items EX: only buying 100/1000 p pots. The offers should be visible offline and in order from time posted.
Honestly I would rather have a GE but too many people in the OSRS community are too butt hurt over it so this is a compromise i would be willing to life with.

Before deciding to poll the trading system,
why not make it so that one needs
a total level of say 1000 or a bit less.
This would only include the people that really
play the game as its meant to be.
This would prevent the low levels who only merchant,
scam, and used bots to vote.
Just a thought.

answer of NO to the first question and YES for the rest of them ....but hey why doesn't Jagex just do a poll on bringing back the GE as it was in the early days

As worded, if you answer no to the first question there will be no new trading system at all. So voting no to trades only appearing when online means there will be no new trading system at all, which means all the yes votes after will not even be counted.

The poll clearly needs to be reworded.

JAGEX PAY ATTENTION

On a side note, the amount of people now saying, "I would honestly just rather have the GE", seems like a legitimate enough reason to just poll;

Q. After much debate over the new trading system, and it being made obvious that too many people want too many things, should we just implement the General Exchange and let bygones be bygones.

Thank you for listening to us!

This solution is the only one I would accept if there has to be one. I think posts should be visible when offline, but for a fixed amount of time. For example if you want to set up an event then it would be annoying if it would go down when you logged of for a few hours. There should also be an indication whether the player is currently online or not.

You must meet up with the player in order to trade. Everything should be handled with normal trading.
