Georgelemmons Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This suggestion is based on the assumption that Jagex logs the trade volumes of all items sold on the Grand Exchange. This would make sense, as they cap the number of items people can trade per hour, and have a list of the most traded items. All I'd like is for Jagex to display the trade volume of EVERY item in the GE, not just the few top sellers. It doesn't seem that hard at all, and would be cool to know, as well as useful for merchanting. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned_Nex Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That would be nice to know, but I doubt they would use the space on their site. I guess maybe a link to the list like the most valuable? Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some?

sees_all1 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm pretty sure most people don't have a computer science background at all, but I'm amazed that the GE works at all - Say that there are on the order of 2 million active accounts per day, half of which will use the GE. Call it a million items in a day, with about a million outstanding offers. The GE then has to match up every offer to pre-existing offers, on 170 different worlds. Not to mention the number of unique items. I have to imagine that there are probably 2 servers dedicated solely to the GE Adding this volume number, however, would take about 3 hours to program in, in a failsafe manner. Plus it would be 8 extra bytes for each object. It would be pretty neat though. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicmagicy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Im thinking the reason jagex doesn't do this is because of price manipulation. If we knew for each object how much was being traded, people who easily single out items good for price manipulation. IT would be nice, but i don't think its going to happen.

Forerunner Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If it's possible for Jagex to create; then they should go for it. : Support. :thumbup: Only fear God,Know the weapons of the weak,The weakness of the hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
