The GE is not what we are voting for. The GE is lame.

This is an auction house format, and there is no such thing as a "set price". Read the Developers blog.

And frankly I think if question #4 fails, they should just drop the whole update and leave trading as is. If you can't trade through the new system, what exactly is the point? *-eye-bez lets you post offers and you can have them up while offline. How is Question #1 pass and Question #4 fail any different from *-eye-bez?

I may have had a pretty good idea here... please have a read through!

Why not have a trade interface for each world which is accessible through the trade tab on the chat bar, this will have a 'lookup item' box to buy and a 'click item' to sell...
The player selling the item puts his item up for sale with no price (bear with me here, i say this to show how i think my system would work).

The player looking to buy can request a 'negotiation' which will show on the sellers chat like a trade request, clicking the request will open a trade and 'private chat' between the buyer and seller, to negotiate trading.

I think this would solve confliction as it does not alter the trading system much and requires the player to be online to make the trade.

(if a player logs out, the sell request must not be cancelled, but be unseen [or even faded out so a player can add to message them when they come online])

This doesn't depend on having no price in of course, i think a 'request price' should be entered so as to avoid time wasters.
^^^^^ I know that made no sense (here are the building blocks of a sentence, the rest is up to you lol).

Thanks for reading!

JUST RELEASE THE POLL. CLEARLY IT'S GOING TO PASS. THE GE WILL NOT RUIN THE GAME ANYMORE THEN THE MERCHERS & BOTS DO ALREADY. JAGEX CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?!?!
THE PLAYERS WHO VOTE 'NO' ARE TO INTO THE SCAMMING/LURING/MASS MERCHING. THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS. & THEY DESERVE TO.

This is a good idea however it turns a lot of items into a highest bidder kind of thing and would raise the prices on a lot of stuff not being mass traded.

That negotiating, to me, is a bad thing. If someone tries to haggle with me, they're on my ignore list and I teleport, no second chances. My listed price on **b is not a suggested price.

That sounds a little extreme. Just because someone is tight on cash or not trying to waste their money doesn't mean they deserve an ignore list, can really blame someone for trying to get a good deal. But then again I don't know what your asking prices are so not really my place to judge.

Adding anything like the grand exchange will increase bots by 10 fold. Bots run on scripts that tell it where to click, what items to keep, what to drop, and when they had the GE, they would auto sell things as well; some would even log you out for periods of time and complete all of your random events. One thing scripts can't do is trade with players, they cant determine value of trades and time when to click accept because it varies with every trade. Not having a GE like trading post is saving us from a lot of bot trouble. I think most people will agree with me when I say botting is pretty mild on OSRS.

And as for the people mass merching, it's simply a way to make money. They aren't conning anyone, it's just like the stock market, you buy when prices are low and sell when they are high. Merching shouldn't be a reason to implement a trading system, and if those are peoples major concerns, they should move on to RS3. That is why Runescape has a constantly updating RS. Old School was introduced for a reason, and adding any sort of trading system just simply defeats it's purpose.
