Am I the only one who thinks implementing Zyb trading into the game is the only solution? Have players post their buy and sell prices on the interface (You will have to look at other buy/sell offers to base your own price on). Players will then have to add each other to communicate on where to meet up and trade. This would make it hard for merc* clans to operate and near impossible for bots to trade. It would make it a little easier to trade but not an instantaneous buy/sell option that will make the game too easy and remove any kind of social interaction between people causing a degradation in the community.
I understand both sides of the argument. I would like few updates to be added, keeping us in the "Old School" roots. I also see some of the problems with trading today. Varrock Trading can be a pain and I try to stay away from it when I can. Thankfully, because of Zyb trade I can post my buy/sell offers and go back to what I was doing until a REAL person would message me to trade. Sometimes it would take a while to sell or buy but the beauty of it is that I do not have to stand there in Varrock spamming. However, I would still have to meet up and trade with someone and occasionally chat about something and maybe make a friend.
Both parties need to compromise a find a solution that both are happy about. I feel that this way would be best. NO Spamming, Easier, Quicker Trading yet no instant "gimme" button, no Bots, and hopefully few Merchant clans.
