I think offers should stay in place for 10 hours after the player goes offline. This will make it so you can log in before you go to bed, then log in when you wake up, and all your offers will be re-validated. Would be a pain if you have to re-make all your offers every single day, but if you don't log in daily it will clear your offers.

An alternative would be to have timed offers: a 12 hour offer is free, a 24 hour offer costs 5% of your posting price, a 48 hour offer costs 10% of your posting price, etc

I think I like this second idea. Maybe. But there should be a warning every time unless one requests otherwise. I'm a huge fan of Construction; love the skill. In particular I'm absolutely fascinated with the
Player-Owned House Dungeon.
My dream is for everyone to be able to build their own personal PvM challenge, one that rivals even current content.

[yellow]Players want to know who they are trading with ...

Yes, absolutely.[/yellow] -------------------------- [pink]Having said this, I have to admit I have zero knowledge how Merchers work.  I have no idea on how to spot 'price fixing done by Merchers'.  All I know is if I can't afford to buy it, I will skillup for it.  That's part of the game.  My need to SELL is totally dependant upon bankspace.  If it comes down to nitty gritty, the Gen Store gets it.[/pink] ---------------------- [white]I hate bots.  I dislike price manip. I like the GE in RS3.

Love it.

I first joined oldschool because I wanted the player interaction I soon noticed that to sell my items I would have to stand in world 1 for hours on end and to stay logged in and available. Let's be honest.. that's not fun.

And how can anyone say the Grand Exchange wasn't part of the 07 game? It clearly says that the Grand Exchange was released on 26 November 2007.

In my opinion the Grand Exchange didn't ruin anything in the main game. It was the free trade removal, controlled prices and coinshare which manipulated the prices.

You should not be able to trade offline.

Okay. If you enjoy spending all your online time selling your junk be my guest.

Can a mod please explain if the offline trading only applies to selling offers? Being able to buy offline is very unlike a normal auction house and it definitely should not work that way. You should not be able to put up a buy offer for lower than anyone is selling as well. You should need to buy from the people who are currently selling.

To all those stubborn people saying it will ruin the Economy, you are wrong. This is basically like the Zyb Price Guide (which is currently already part of 07) except instead of adding, finding and trading the person. You just buy it.
No matter where the seller is. How could you disagree with this? It's making something easier that ever had to be complicated in the first place.
And to those of you who like World 1 Spam Trade?, have fun battling for hours to get your items sold among that pathetic sea of merchant bots.

Auction house should be in this game.

You say that didn't ruin anything and that controlled prices was one of the things that ruined the game. The sole purpose of the GE was to control the prices...

I doubt you've played RuneScape pre November 2007. The Auction House will ruin the authentic oldschool experience alltogether. Besides, if you think that trading currently is complicated and has to simplified, you seriously need to rethink how you play the game.
