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.


if anything since there is no consensus I would say leave it as is, nothing is really broken in the first place. I definitely do not want a GE that controls the prices. That needs to be left to the player base.

This looks very interesting. I just hope people take the time to read each question and think carefully about their answer. I know that some people will just answer YES to everything then will go on and complain that they didn't like what was added. A good example of this is the new skill. Many people voted YES to have a new skill added then came on the forums and posted how much they didn't want a new skill.

Looking at how divided the community is on the trading subject it is clear we as a whole don't really know what we want. Some people are worried that making trading easier makes the game too easy. Others are afraid it will make it too easy for merching clans to manipulate the prices of certain items at a given time. While others want to spend more time playing the game than having to stand around for hours trading their goods. In my opinion like what you (old school team) did with the rares is what is going to have to happen with the trade solution. If we do not come to an agreement on the poll for a a trade solution just add what you think to best for the community. I do not think it is a good idea to leave trading as it is as it seems like even though we are divided on what the trading solution should be the majority of us want something better than spamming world 1 Varrok. No

Jagex promised us there would "not" be a grand exchange on oldschool. It seems to me that is exactly what you're working towards. Many people wanted a version of Runescape that was pre E.O.C. What we got was oldschool, I was so happy! You have already changed the game so it nothing like oldschool. People have so many 99's already, it was impossible to be so fast before.
No matter what you call this, auction or trading post it will be just like a Grand exchange.
So, note to Jagex, you listened to these same people before and destroyed the game. You lost a lot of players and money. You really don't want to do it again.
The stuff people are selling is all around the game. It's called playing the game. Collect it yourself or be ready to pay. I don't care what "zi bez" is selling it for and if you're not playing the game you don't make money or collect things.
I only pick and peck type and it's hard to click fast enough in varrock W1. But I still manage to buy seconds for herb and I pay dearly for them, as I should, because I don't like to collect all of them.
I do understand that people who joined, after the G.E was put in, have a hard time finding things, I am always telling people where to find things, just ask. They will learn in time.
LEARN, JAGEX! I prefer to play the game than type on the forums, these are people who like to see themselves talk.
JUST SAY NO TO G.E.!!!!!!

Before some of you start spamming me,read on page 47 that i did answer
the questions.
The G.E. was added to rs2 originally to mostly prevent scamming people
in trades.
Although it was not perfect, jagex tried their best to make it better later.
The osrs team know how to implement it in a way that would work best.
Now, i find 75% to pass a poll too high because good updates failed the vote.
I know this is a game and not real life where 51% is considered a majority.
