Personally I just think it's silly how you announced something that got people really hyped and seemed like a great all around solution then out of nowhere, just go back on your steps to end up implementing something that changes literally nothing to what's available to us right now. *ybez lets people do all the same, but without a limit on the amount of offers.

Idk I'm being serious I've been wondered from the start. :)

The AH looked perfect, but this just looks like a bummer. Might just be the way the devblog is written, but I'm not even nearly as excited anymore.

Should just have the AH with no offline trading after 2 hours offline. (To compensate for irl things like meals, toilet, other small tasks.

Can we add some new way of making people vote? When people see it's an external thing people aren't really voting. Not everybody's ideas I feel are being heard. Some people just click a button and go right in the game and don't check to see about polls. Why don't we make it so you have to vote on this important poll to get into the game. Also it'll stop some bots for a few days. Idk maybe we can put it into the game the rs3. Don't freak out I said rs3 you won't melt like me throwing a bucket of water on you. Get my oz reference :)

The trade still staying up 2 hours after logging off would eb way too long a time.

Honestly a maximum of 30 minutes to compensate for those "irl" needs.
I'd say the best time would be 5 minutes. Just ebnough to hop world or use the restroom irl.

As close to the G.E as possible is what I'd like to see. I personally don't want to talk to the player, meet up with the player or have to buy all of what they're selling. I want to buy and sell things quickly and conveniently so I can get on with playing the actual game. I'd also prefer if offers stayed on while you were offline.

MOD MAT K PLS RESPOND TO THIS

People are gonna pick to buy low and sell high, It just seems like a lot of work and more time trying to buy a certain amount of something than if it was just the G.E setup where the items were just bundled into groups of their price range. The only people that don't want the G.E are the merchers, and they ruin the game themselves by taking advantage of the needs of people and exploiting the prices with merchant bots. At least with the Grand Exchange you didn't see it happening even though it still did. You keep talking that you want the game to be a social experience but you could just do that by making more mini-games that involved more players. Or you could add group quests that take multiple people to do it with(not just Shield of Arrav and Heroes). When people want to buy and sell an item they don't care about that 5 second interaction and I(and everyone else) don't become friends with people they trade. They simply get their item or cash and move on with the game. Simplifying the trading system by putting the G.E into the game would make getting an item or your cash faster so you could actually do your clue scroll or finish your quest. To be honest the game was perfect the week before the EoC came out and should of just continued separately from that and the EoC should of had to start with a fresh account since in one update you changed the game more than all the other updates combined. With all the changes in Old School RS so far the game is far from August 2007. More effort should be placed in ridding the game of the bots that influence the prices more than merchers. People can still make money with the 5% up and down offers on the G.E. Playing the game should be the social aspect of it, not the procurement of items. The Grand Exchange was a very social place pre EoC with people skilling at the banks and maybe you could add a mini-game in the middle to attract more people. MOD MAT K PLS RESPOND TO THIS

Well yes, but since 57% (+11) wants offline trading, you have to compromise.
