What is your suggestion?: 

Change the order fulfilling buy offers are prioritized, specifically filter buy orders by highest gp offer, then by age.

 

Is this in OSRS?: N/a

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

 

How would this benefit Alora?: 

Encourage actually pricing offers near the correct amount instead of defaulting to the oldest offers.

Currently, if someone lists a twisted bow for 100m and someone has an offer for 1b but there is an older offer for 100m, it will sell the item for 100m even though there is a much higher more recent offer from someone else.

The current way it is setup doesn't really help active players who are constantly changing their buy offers in the trading post.

 

Edit:

This suggestion is how the OSRS G.E. works, also, OSRS deactivates offers for non-active accounts & you have to keep membership, but on alora it just encourages having 20 alts and filling the TP with 1m offers for anything that could accidentally be listed for a low price.

 

Here is the documentation for how it works for OSRS: https://oldschool.ru...hange#Operation

 

Adding the details from the update thread when Buy Offers were added:

Trading Post Changes:

• Trading Post Buy Offers:
  • Trading post buy offers have finally arrived!
  • Players will now see a “Sell Offer” and “Buy Offer” button in place of the original “List item” option.
    • The Sell offer functionality will work the same as it always has.
    • Clicking the Buy offer button will now open a chatbot item search to allow players to lookup all tradable items on Alora and select the item they wish to buy.
      • Once the item is selected, players can specify the quantity they wish to purchase and the price per item.
        • Players cannot set a quantity/price combination that would exceed max cash.
          • The price per item is the price that is paid after tax.
          • Once the offer is setup, it will try to fill the offer immediately with current trading post sell offers that are less than or equal to the price per item.
            • Any excess gp will be refunded when the player claims the items.
            • If the full buy offer cannot be filled immediately, it will remain active until it is fully filled.
        • A new button has also been added next to the “Claim coffer” button, used to claim the items that have been purchased from buy offers.
          • This can be done even when an offer is not fully filled, and will refund any extra unused gp as well as the items.
          • Players can also right-click specific buy offers to collect the purchased items.
  • Whenever a new sell offer is listed, the oldest buy offer that meets the price will be filled first.
  • Whenever a buy offer is listed, the buy offer will be filled from cheapest->most expensive sell offers that don’t exceed the price per item.

+1 support, revamp the tp! modern times require modern solutions (and give us our fucking platinum tokens in tp already pls)

[Crash Kid]

Support, Tp could def use some modernization and this seems like a logical first step!

[RG12]

Support, seems like a clear improvement

Bumping this topic

Bumping this topic again to hopefully get some traction on it.

[Duskmere]

Definitely support this. TP deserve a positive improvement and this could be the first step.

I support this.

I like it the way it is currently. Alora's Trading Post is a good differentiator from OSRS's GE and if you make it too similar to OSRS, then why don't we just go play there or elsewhere instead? This proposal benefits people who remove liquidity from the market and hurts players who add liquidity to the market.  Alora already has a thin orderbook and a weak economy. This would have the effect of just weakening it further by reducing the rewards for contributing to it. I would like more TP slots for every player though because lots of new items have been added to the game and that allows everyone to contribute more.

By design, RSPS's serve a more casual player-base due to the higher exp rates, lower quest burden, and lighter diaries. However you can expect the most active players to chat on these forum threads, skewing the voices heard.

No support. However I'd like to compliment MHK for being smart enough to learn this.

Has anyone played on an RSPS with no economy before?
