    I think that the grand exchange was a bad part on the behalf of Jagex. Everyting is going down i price... No more merchanting...

    Has anyone started buying again? Who thinks that the prices won't drop too much more on armors/weapons? I think I'm going to buy all my armor and stuff back pretty soon.

    merchanting was already dead after they added the infinite amount thing a the shop... i think they got rid of it on purpose... they wanted everyone to work for what they wanted instead of just standing still and buying and selling stuff...

    Some things are way underpriced (party hats) and some things are way overpriced. Anyways, now Jagex can control the economy like they want to.

    It's cool but the prices should be freely edited.

    18 gp for a rune essence = WTF I got so freaking pissed off from this. Before this 25 was a low price that sold always. The prices are f*cked. AARGH...

    After using it for a bit, I have to say I like it..It has its draw backs. But quests are so much easier now, I can just buy all the crap that I need for them

    I haven't really run into any problems with the grand exchange.
    And the reason the GE wasn't set up so you can choose who you can to buy from and set a price limit is because people would use it as a way to transfer crap loads of money.

    example-

    Player A is giving Player B 100Mil.
    Player B (in the grand exchange) sells a feather for 100Mil.
    Player A then buys this feather (since I doubt anyone would buy a feather for 100Mil), thus finishing the transaction.
    Player A has given player B 100Mil and a new way of buying/selling/trading gold is created.

    Not only does this make the low price of something constant but it almost sells instantly so im all for the grand exchange but it does make honast marketing harder... since typically people try to buy for the least ammount unless they are trying to get it fast...

    I think the system is OK, the biggest problem is you don't know current availability or prices. You could set your price to 5 gp and someone sells for 4 and you will never buy it, If they really wanted the system to be good, they would use your set price as a maximum price and then buy the lowest price available, if two people want the same thing, make them bid against each other and whoever has the biggest max price wins.

    With that in place, it would be great if they allowed more player control over the prices and maybe even a current price range next to the item (IE selling from 1gc to 2000gc)

    As it stands, if your Item is semi rare (IE not not traded a lot but not worth much) it is very hard to find it. at the right price, you just try and buy wizard robes

    The only way to buy that even makes sense is to pay or sell for the lowest possible amount.

    If you want to buy 10k iron ore for 100 gp each, you have to put in 1 mil right then. Then the ore is deposited into your collection box. A lot of that ore was probably being sold for 95 each. I'm sure that Jagex isn't giving the seller that extra money, it just goes poof. It won't take long for people to realize this, and people will only offer the lowest price.

    And as Jagex said, if sales are trending to the lower end, the range will shift that direction. It seems like an inevitable spiral down for prices on pretty much everything macro-able.
    Actually it does give the seller the extra money... I put in a Guth Cloak just now for 600k and got 611k for it which is the current market price.


    EDIT: I also just noticed you don't need a PIN to get into the exchange window or the Collection box. I know alot of people (including me) that when they log out they put everything in the bank because they have a PIN and if it is in the bank it is "safe(r)". If you have something in the GE that takes a while to sell/buy or if you put something up to sell/buy when you went to bed and someone hacked you, they could abort the transaction (or if it is already sold/bought) and go to the collection box and take your goods or money.
    I think jagex need to add a bank PIN to the collection box of the GE.
    My Pin saved me from losing about 20m about a week ago (forgot to take info out of a script I posted). All they got was 50k feathers that I didn't have in my bank. (I managed to auto that back + more in about 2 days).
