I completely agree with where you're coming from. However it's also nice not to have a set price on that item you're trying to buy and being able to negotiate a price if you are tight on cash. Also, when I refer to interacting with the community, I understand that's not usually the case in West Varrock, but adding something similar to the Grand Exchange takes away the casual "Hey anyone have a Mith Pick I could buy?" at a common bank. It takes away a lot from the experience because now whenever you need something you just go to the GE. You isolate yourself and in turn the game becomes less enjoyable.
Thats true
but remember that the GE is where most people hang out with their friends. RuneScape was created to be played both single-player and multiplayer

Exactly my point!
Too many people waste their time with friends sitting at the GE when they could be questing/skilling together! Plus it becomes much harder to make new friends when you don't trade with anyone, of course you have the same friends you have in real life, but it's nice to have a lot of active people in your friends list if you ever need anything. Most people don't really make new friends anymore, and that also plays a big role in how fast you can get bored! Many of my friends I have met while trading! Another reason I think the trade update would be pointing us in the wrong direction.
