I don't recall anybody needed to spend $60k on a new skill in RSC/RS2/RS3 ever, even if they had and were willing to spend so much money.

Even in the buying floor Dungeoneering "skill" era, RS3 players never needed so much money. It is likely going to cost a lot more real money Bonds for leech/account services in similar "skills" in OSRS when they come. Just open your wallet, it will cost a lot more than RS2/RS3 but still, not sure if it requires $60,000.

Good news.

Death costs are being reduced by 90%. Being Rich > Being Skillful

If you buy a T95 weapon with Bonds and have limited bossing skill, you will face almost no punishment when you die now. It is now safe to buy your way to the top and practice non-stop with the most powerful weapons ever released.

If you purchase Bonds before January 9, you can receive the full value of your $7.99 Bond. Anyone selling purchased Bonds after January 9 will only get $7.83 worth of the Gold due to a 2% GE tax.

Rich players, there's never been a better time to Bond your way to a T95 and face zero consequences to learn Zamorak 50%!

I acknowledge there are poor players who had to risk for every bit of skill they have, and I feel bad for them. But deep down, they must have known skill and dedication is no replacement for wealth.

This time next week, it will be awesome to see players who worked jobs all these years enjoy dps'ing bosses with T95's, while knowing there's minimal cost for dying. The order of things is moving in the right direction :)

I'm confused by this post and what the recent death cost post on front page says. Are bonds actually being taxed or is the newspost just talking about the cost of converting untradeable bonds to tradeable?

I think if you sell a Bond on the GE at 75m, you will lose 1.5m. So next week you will only get 73.5m for it JC.

EDITED: Just sell your Bonds at +5% if the above makes you feel bad

Mod Hunter published a Dev Blog revealing an average of 4.3 Trillion gp circulates the GE daily. A 2% GE tariff is expected to remove 86.14B each day.

Some people trade 1 time on the GE. Some people trade 2 times. Flippers trade 10+ times daily.

Some of that 4.3 Trillion gp, is the same gp being traded twice. The estimated weighted average is about 1.5

When they add party hats to the GE, rare flippers will increase the total gp in circulation. The dangerous part is the estimated weighted average of the same coins being traded multiple times will rise to 4.5

The same coins being traded multiple times causes exaggerated deflation. DXP increases total gp circulating. After February DXP finishes there will be an exaggerated dip in prices.
__________________________

TL;DR

RS3's economy will begin contracting after February DXP. February will be the last month ever Bonds will be over 75m. Enjoy the last of these golden days.

How does this affect a new skill in RS3?

No Jmods ever said they are focusing on helping a very, very group of handpicked players to make money with the new skill in RS3. Your $60,000 doesn't seem to benefit handpicked players in RS3 anyway. There isn't a slightest indication you can spend any real money for the RS3 skill in any different way than the other skills and content.
