^ Response: I still believe that that the vote with over 2x the amount of people should win.

sucks to suck...There have been several things to get 70-74% of the vote and haven't gone through. Why should this be any different? There is no trading problem in Runescape...none whatsoever. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

You must be joking, would you rather go in trading world and try sell or buy something for hours than getting it instantly for a quest, minigame, training, so on forth. I had several people lately trying to scam me by pulling out their money before I buy something. It's safer and faster to buy from a auction house than the chance of being scammed also by the way you can make an offer to the player if you want to make a deal if you wish.

The only way i would accept this is if...

-you have to be online to sell and buy
-you have to manually find the item you want and player who sells it
-limited amount of the item can be bought only like 10%
-you have to meet up to trade, but you can quick add them on the post


Question: If we introduce the trading post, should players’ trade offers be visible when they are offline?

No, they should not be visible.

Question: If players' trades are visible when they are offline, should they be visible for more than 6 hours?

Defiantly not.

Question: If we introduce a trading post through which you are able to buy items, should you be able to buy only part of a sellers offer if you want? For example, if the seller is selling 1,000 of an item, you can buy only 100 if you wish.

100% because it stops people from merching which would reck the economy.

Question: If we introduce the trading post should players be able trade items through it rather than having to meet up to trade through the existing trade system?

No, because that is how 07 is andd that is what i and many players love. We don't want a Trading Post(GE)!

Question: If we introduce a trading post through which you are able to buy items, should you be able to add buy offers for items and let the trading post find the best match for you?

No, becasue that is like ge and takes all human actions and 07 feel out of the game.

Question: If we introduce a trading post that matches offers for you, should your buy offers be visible when you are offline?

No, they shouldn't be Thanks for adding in Aussie servers ^_^

I love the Grand Exchange and have since its release. It's a brilliant and convenient way for players to exchange items, especially for the junk items quests require. However, the instantaneous nature of an automated system has its draw backs (merchanter abuse, massive price fluctuations, and "it makes OSRS too easy" ). Fortunately, 29% of our voters are wise enough to see these.

With the current vote you wont spend hours trading. But it wont be instant trading either. It's the best of both worlds that maintains the "old school" feel and doesn't require players to use a 3rd party site to trade competitively.

JMODS:

Regarding question 4, does it need 75% to pass?

If so, please consider the option suggested earlier in this thread that allows a person to right click on a name in their friend list and choose 'trade' to let players trade without being near each other. This would probably make at least 71% of the players happy. :D It would be nice if this worked even if the two players are on different worlds, if this is possible.

And question 7 is unclear. Why does it depend on automatic matching for it to happen? If buy requests are hidden while offline, players may never know that there is demand for an item if it is a seldom traded item.

Obviously, some people are not going to be happy with the outcome of this poll no matter what happens. If questions 4 and 7 do not pass, I will be disappointed because I believe that many people will continue to post on the 3rd party site and not post in the trading post at all as it would not give any advantage over using the 3rd party site. (I won't threaten to quit because I pulled on my big girl pantis MANY years ago. ;) )

Advantages over using 3rd party site:

You can only see offers from people online atm. (No more adding people over and over just to find out they're not even here.)

Access offers in-game through one interface not on multiple pages of website. (Less people leaving stale offers because they forgot or didn't want to find their way back to the right page.)

"Another tab" no more. It can be dangerous to leave the runescape tab unattended if you're logged in. But honestly I think people are nuts when they say zbz is on another tab like that makes it easy to get to. If you don't mind having a tiny runescape box in the middle of your screen maybe... but for me zbz or anything else besides runescape is at a completely different zoom level and it's annoying having to switch back and forth all the time.

There are other advantages but those are my favorites.

Curious about this one. It would have to be polled obviously, and keep the requirement of being in the same world. People would use it to speed up the trading process but it couldn't be accessed from within the trading post. My friends would use it to help each other out from a distance. I might not vote for it but would be interesting to poll.

IF THEY WANTED YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET THINGS INSTANTLY FOR QUESTS, THEN PART OF THE QUEST WOULDN'T BE GETTING THAT ITEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Why not just change all the quest descriptions to: "Take a trip to the GE and deliver the items to person A, person B, and person C. Quest complete."

The offer should be visible when you're offline, and tell you whether that player is actually online or not. Preferably also visible cross-server.

Since manual trading is all the rage in old school, I say keep that aspect of it. It'd basically be a more integrated into the game version of posting your offers on the forums, and would hopefully cut down those laggy trading districts into something a bit more organized, without losing that social aspect.

its not part of the quest. its something you have to do BEFORE the quest. IF its something you need to get FOR the quest, you cant buy it on the ge, because its blocked. its almost always minor things that just take a long time to round up and are useless outside the bar, such as an unfired bowl. sure, you can take an hour to round up and make everything but why? frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.
