Well Im canceling my Membership, This is just the grand exchange All over again.

Having no G.e Brings so many great things to the game.

1. Being able to get items/materials cheaper

2. Merching

3. People Interacting

4. Makes game more hardcore (not as easy)

5. Botters with tons of the same item will cause drop in prices making it harder for legit players to make money

6. You just killed your auto typer

7. Items will be 1 solid price what everyone else is sell them for

Your taking away one of the best parts about old school runescape so sad.

Will return When Taken out.

We can still vote no on this...and their own survey says that since this has offline trading, 32% of voters will be voting no on it.

Back to the drawing board when it fails, and maybe they'll look at ideas that might pass. 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

the system that we have now, is what we want. if we change it the game will slowly evolve into what runescape3 is now. we dont want that, but you guys just dont see it yet.

Obviously people DO want something like this, or they wouldn't be polling it. Please stop talking for everyone. Thanks :D

It's almost what I suggested, except I feel this will be too OP. I think there should be something to balance it out, such as;

The auction house only works if you are online. If you log out, your offer is removed. I know people voted for offline trading, but i'm scared this might ruin the economy.

or

Your offers are only available for x amount of time after you add it.

or

Each auction house is world specific, meaning you can't see offers from players posted on any world other than the one you are on.

etc.

Other than that. yes, yes YES! Support! Hell, i'd vote for it the way it is.. I just feel it could be rebalanced a bit.

EoC combat system
Grand Exchange
Dual wield
Drygore weapons
QBD
Vorago
Nex GWD
Dungeoneering
Chaotic weapons
Ancient curses
Spirit shields
Corporeal beast
Dragon claws
HD graphics
Market prices for all items
Bonfires
LRC
Ivy
Summoning
Soul wars
Artisans Workshop
Extreme potions
Runespan
Korasi sword
Conquest
Dragon Platebody
Ashes for prayer xp
Chaos tunnels
PVP armor
PVP weapons
Armadyl Storm
Fight kiln (and the cape that comes with it)
Stealing creation
Fist of Guthix
Distractions & Diversions
Large number of Quests and their respective rewards
Divination
Ugly looking graphics
Player Owned Ports
Ridiculous XP rates

We've got like, none of those, but still. We're turning into RS3 man.

When a player wants to buy an item, they will open an interface and search for the item they wish to buy, They will then be presented with a list of sales which show the price of the trade, quantity of items to be traded, how long the trade has been up and who the trader is.


^ Directly from Dev Blog.



The point of this thread;

The proposed system will create a platform for
*SELLERS*
to post their items for x-value and x-amount.

The proposed system will NOT cater towards offline trading(when it comes to buying), the merchandise has to be searched from a list of active items for sale by
*SELLERS*.


*BUYERS*
CANNOT post items. I repeat BUYERS CANNOT POST ITEMS. They can only purchase items instantly that are at the moment listed, no future buy offers will exist.

Posting this here as he raises a good point that I missed

3. Player interaction is complete bulls***, the most that is ever exchanged is "ty" "ty." Quit lying to yourself/cherrypicking for arguments.

You are looking at it too literally. The G.E.'s effect on player interaction isn't mainly due to the lack of meeting up with people. The G.E. decreased player interaction because it made the game way easier/convenient which caused people to become lazier and not feel like talking as much. Look at how much people talked, clanned etc before and after the G.E. came out. Big difference.
