Think, if they ruin mechanting a majority of the players will be done with runescape.
Why do you think this? :?: The majority of the people who play RunScape do so to have fun. We do the quests, work on the skills, interact with friends and just generally mess around. Not having a bunch of people hanging around world 2 would have next to no negative effect on any of that. It would help in fact. Why, you may ask. Simple, most of the autoers that clog up parts of the game are controlled by those same people. So, if merchanting is what you think RuneScape is all about, fine, see ya. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. We who play for the love of the game and to have fun, won't even notice. :boohoo:

Lastly the anti rare item conspiracy theory. If Jagex wanted to get rid of party hats and the like, they could do it in minutes by just deleting the code from the game and saying it was all just a bad idea. Or they could make them all un-tradable. Or they could just buy them all up and end them that way. Why would they spend all the time and money on a new update as large and complex as a network wide exchange system? :wall:
I didn't mean to suggest that the GE was solely for the purpose of removing rares.
I did mean to suggest that it would make it easy for Jagex to buy rares from people who wanted to sell, perhaps even surreptitiously and without spooking the market.
They can do that now. All they have to do is use the dummy accounts they already have and hang out at Varrock's bank for an hour. Not all of the Jagex accounts have gold crowns, only the ones they want you and I to see. They can buy up whatever they want and nobody would have any idea. Why would they go to all this trouble to do something the can do now?
On other point, this update is not going to replace the old trade system, it's an addition to it. There's nothing stopping anyone from standing around world 2 all day, selling stuff. You will stand out a little more than now, but you can still do it. This might actually help out some merchants by removing competition from people (like me) who only sell things on occasion.

Just pointing a few things out.
The post from Jagex says nothing about the Grand Exchange being an auction system. It says "the ability to offer items to buy and sell across ALL servers and to ALL players", it dose not say auction. So why assume it will be? :?:
The next point is percentage issue. The post says nothing about that. Again, why assume we'll have to pay anything? :-k

I maintain a job, Runescape, school, sports, and a social life very well. I feel all that is needed to do this is moderation. Spending too much time on any one thing will deplete your belonging in the others. Moderation is key with anything in life.

Most of the people I come into contact with have no idea what RuneScape is. :ohnoes:
-
OK , why would Jagex do any of this? It"s not like we are talking about real money here. :?:
Umm, economic stability?
What economic stability, this is a game. It's not Wall Street. Jagex cares about game play, not economic stability in a made up world. :wall:
-
Lol, just went on the RSOF and saw some, no A LOT, of topics about the death of merchants due to this and the economy crashing and whatnot.
One 500+ post thread was interesting and about a similar topic, how will it affect merchanting. After reading several pages, I found it was mostly flaming. Goes to show you how immature they are over there ^_^.
I saw that too. Funny.
What gets me is people are acting like this is a real economy, it's a game people, not Wall Street. Lighten up.

This update wont ruin merchanting, but it will change it. It should actually boost merchanting, and there will be less scammers, autotypers, lurers, and pretty much every type of moron you can think of, in the worlds.
No more morons! =D> Jagex! =D>
:thumbsup: I could not agree with you more! :thumbsup:

Prices will go up for a lot of things when the update first comes out, but the market will determine the ultimate price of an item in the long run.

From what I got from the post, it would be a place to list items you want to sell and to access items that others want to sell. It's two way. I don't however see how your bank space would have anything to do with it. A full bank can't stop you from buying things from a store, why would this be any different?
The item would be transfered to your bank after a transactions similar to how they said you pick up your money. But the question is, does it go straight into your bank or is it waiting at the bank for pick up?
The post says nothing about an item being transfered into your bank. When you buy it, you buy it. Just like any other shop. The only time the bank is involved is when you sell an item. "you might get a message telling you that they have sold and that you can go to the nearest bank to receive payment" As i understand it, you go get your money from the bank, it's not put into your account, you go get it and do what you will with it.

This is a great topic and I will be adding to it as soon as I can get my pix of of my old PC.

No bathrooms in RuneScape. All the beer you can drink and all the food you can eat, but no bathroom. :shock: Do we really want to inspect that bush or that tree? #-o

This update won't hurt merchanting at all. What it most likely will do is make life hard an scammers ( not a bad thing ) and make shopping around for any given item a lot faster. It could also stabilize the prices in many items. Prices will go up for a lot of things when the update first comes out, but the market will determine the ultimate price of an item in the long run. The system we have now is one where most people go to fan sites like tip.it and look an item up. The problem with that is this. Web site #1 says my shield is worth 800k, but web site #2 says it's worth 2mil and web site #3 says it's 4mil, which one is right? What seems to be coming would make finding a accurate price a simple mater of comparison shopping. And you wouldn't have to try to read through 300 chat messages per minute to do it.
Just my outlook. Your mileage may vary..

OMG! A "Grand Exchange", what a wonderful idea! If done right, we will be able to say goodbye to a majority of the scammers in the game. Joy!! :thumbsup:

I like the hood just fine.
Do you ever use the"Self Sufficient" methods??

I try to be as Self-sufficient as I can. I never buy food, herbs and the like. I have payed for pots that I didn't have the herbs to make. But times like that are few and far between. Being as self-sufficient as I can be is what makes the game fun for me.
