i believe that implementing another grand exchange is a terrible idea, taking the barter out of the game takes a lot out of it. making a G.E in os, there needs to be focus on more things currently in the game, bugs, items, a skill possibly? but adding things like G.E just make things too easy. or other things that made EOC a terrible play like over rides, and such. all just un-nessessary things added to the game making it too much to bother with. 07 was not missed just because of the combat but the entire mechanics of the game. i think it is way too soon to be adding anything like a grand exchange.

Agreed 100% I personally think everything is fine the way it is, as it was in 2007, Changing any aspect of the game takes away from the originality +1 to you Puff Puff It.

That would be ay-ok if we had the 100,000 active players that were around in 2007.

To make sure this update isn't dead content:
Make is accessible as an interface which can be accessed by moving the logout button to the top right corner as it was before and placing the trading post in it's place instead.

You are right, but no matter what it will be good. Look on the bright side, if it comes out dead content, people will be even more miserable, and will drive the support for central trading up even further! :D

REVOLUTIONARY IDEA
how about the sell offers disappear from the market after x hours but the buy offers simply do not appear? (this is supporting a GE-esque system that completes offers for you)

reason #1: There will be a lot less people wasting time staring at lines of text. (the alternative is making a "spam trader" skill [MahXPGainz])

reason #2: People will not be able to alter prices by creating spam accounts that make low buy offers for items or by placing sell offers for items they do not intend to sell in order to lower the prices. Currently with the manual trade system i already see spam accounts pretending to sell bandos chestplates for 10m less than they are worth. Even if the system requires you to actually possess the alleged number of such an item, players can still distribute a few to various accounts and continue the same actions if the actual trading of wealth is not "enforced".

reason #3: Time zones can be a massive hinderance for ANY virtual economy and some people simply don't have the luxury of a mother who willingly provides free basement rentals and a free chicken nugget courier service. Basically not all of us can be active enough. (or is it inactive enough?)

Hope you found my arguments entertaining/interesting and i hope they inspire some new, innovative solutions to the buttox-flattening activity of trading in runescape.

PS: I really would love if chicken nuggets were added to the gnome delivery minigame, it IS a RPG game after all, i would like to occasionally roleplay one of the previously mentioned underground poultry devourers as i find the concept quite compelling.

I could not agree more. I think a lot of people forget that this is Old School. As stated above, the G.E RUINED the economy. I personally believe that we are doing just fine. This is how osrs was. Osrs was a challenge which I myself love. I think that is why we all play Osrs. Bringing back a trading system is useless. Why would we want something similar to the G.E? And why would any of you want an ingame **b? *yb works perfectly fine.

This is not rs3, guys. come on. let's not ruin runescape again.

also for all of you here claiming that the grand exchange ruined the economy you are sorely mistaken, while the overall price of items did dip slightly they became more STABLE, the tragedies you're all thinking of came from immense numbers of botters, every time jagex comes out with new detection methods the prices return to their natural values within hours, also the GE did not ruin RS3, the WoW aspects ruined RS3, the grand exchange has been around since 2007, just a few months after the current version you are all experiencing, and the game held strong for the next 5 years reaching peaks of nearly 300,000 players

The anti-G.E. crowd doesn't care about numbers. They won't recognize that the real downfall was trade restrictions and the death of PKing. All they will do is regurgitate the same crap, and call any trade solution that won't be dead on arrival "The G.E." and whine to high hell about it.
