So what exactly do these so called "live tokens" do pray tell?
More of a facetious post about how Jagex monetises everything. Especially in reference to Vic the Trader, who was a big thing in the community that everyone seemed to enjoy. Jagex made him more and more frequent until they just decided to make him a new form of MTX by providing a one-hour Vic "token" purchasable at any time with one bond.
Made this as a pointer on how it could be expected that Jagex does the same thing with Double XP in future updates and iterations.
Bond, membership and gp are all interconnected. It is no secret Jagex has been monetizing their games since 2012 with the Bond initiative. Portable Vic is not a new form of MTX. It is a Bond derivative.
There is no saying Jagex won't add more Bond derivatives to monetize other content. However, even if they try to monetize DXP in the future with Bond, it is nothing new. For instance, most live events are open to free players. There is no saying they can't add new events that requires 2 bonds to enter in the future. However, since 2 bonds is basically the worth of a month's membership, literally this hypothetical initiative is no different than merely you need a month's membership to enter such event. Is this MTX then? Your judgement... but don't forget Jagex is already running such Bond derivative MTX in their game.
I am not saying it will or will not happen, but RS3 players simply can't complain about this kind of Bond derivative MTX even if one day they see new content like:
Live Man Mode - requires 2 bonds to enter and you can win IRL cash prize and items!!!
That's right, RS3 players simply can't complain because it is nothing new. Jagex has been doing something similar for quite a while.
