There are 14k people currently playing and a mere 6k will decide for all. And that's fair how?



P.S. How many people did we need to get old school back 10 thousand?


Ok, if we assume that all the f2p worlds are filled with people who are f2p, then that's around 11k people who are members online at the moment, 6k of those have voted.

The other people probably are waiting to vote since they have until next Wednesday to collect information and decide what they think is best. Some others may not know about the poll, but it does appear on the homepage like all other content polls.

If someone can tell me a good reason we need an AH then I would consider voting yes. What "problem" does adding in a trading solution solve? I think it will only introduce problems down the road (Look at the GE...those that do not know history are doomed to repeat it). I can not think of any issue this would resolve. Only add convenience and mess with the economy.

No offense...but if it takes you 4 hours to buy 100 dragon arrows then you are doing something wrong. Granted some items are more rare and harder to buy than others but to me that is also the point. I shouldn't be able to just instantly get every single item. To me a trading solution just dumbs down the game.

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.

Seeing as this is an extremely big poll, what if 74% want to be able to sell items through the trading post? Would it not be added just because of that 1%? If so that seems really unfair to the other 73%. I know for smaller polls this is the case but this may be the biggest most important poll ever.
Runecrafting is like bacon.

I don't really care how this trading post/auction house works as long as there are NO GUIDE PRICES or any system to track average offers, if that happens you just end up with a stock market system that inherently manipulates its own prices.

Anybody who cares will vote. Those who don't vote obviously don't care.

I really hope remote trading doesn't get added.
