jagex desperation to sell bonds, = they need to keep adding value ingame to bonds
do you recon they have a limit or are sell outs?

people paying for 70m ingame currency = they wont want bonds for less in future

how will they keep them going at £5 each will they have to increase price always, or will they have to increase irl price always

how much profit do each new owners need before the game can die?

are we players living on the edge

should we all strike on irl payments to prevent death of rs?

things seem financially desperate to me

Bond price is almost entirely based on the willingness of players to buy them. Bonds are high right now pretty much exclusively because of the fact that players are finding themselves with more gold due to massive gold inflation, meanwhile IRL inflation is causing players to have less cash to buy bonds. Demand for bonds in game increases as more players find themselves able to afford them, meanwhile the amount of bonds entering the game decreases due to IRL inflation. In reality, you only have 2 culprits you can blame:

1: The wider playerbase as a whole for driving up prices of bonds because more of them are trying to save IRL money by paying for membership in game.

2: Yourself for allowing yourself to fall behind on your in-game income to the point where the price of bonds is no longer a realistic expense for you. The current price of a bond is around 65-70m. It's not that difficult to make that kind of cash in a day, let alone 2 weeks.

In any case, you do find yourself commenting on the price of bonds at a time in the game's yearly cycle where they are traditionally at their highest (right after premier membership opens). Perhaps try to buy them earlier in the year and save them until premier is available. Looking at the price graph of the bond, there is no sudden spike in value that would suggest Jagex has done anything to them to massively increase their value; They, just like many other valuable items in the game, are simply experiencing inflation as the amount of gold in the game increases unchecked. Unfortunately, this falls upon you to make sure you are updating and improving your money-making methods such that they can keep up with current item prices. There are multiple activities in the game that you could do for an hour and average 70m+ profit in that time. The question is, as always, whether or not you're willing to learn and master those methods.

I hate to say it, but if your finances are that bad, Runescape is just a luxury... Now with added

guess gotta hope people buy bonds for silly rares, caus if bonds get high and people use bonds gp for boss items, the items be more expensive, so at some point we all might be living off bonds

regular players wont afford new content for longer etc, which is already happening with new boss weapons being 5b+ for year

do you think bonds will cross gphats in value, if gp keeps inflating jagex will have attained their goal of mtxing bis weapons and armours since no one will accept gp in exchange of their time spent on getting that drop, they will want something that holds its value
at that point gp will strictly become something you keep to make bonds tradeable lmao

This is already a thing in the upper echelons of wealth in the game. Many wealthier players don't hold wealth in cash, because inflation is a universal truth and will almost always result in 1gp today being worth less tomorrow. This is why rares are essentially treated as a second currency. They are a way to hold wealth without the risk of value deflation. This happens irl as well, where wealthy individuals tend to own large amounts of real estate, not because they need it, but because land will always be in demand, meanwhile the value of currency consistently drops with inflation.

Rare hats aren't really land since they aren't a necessity and i wouldn't call them a true hedge against inflation.


Look at his forum picture, of course he's gonna say that. he most likely has his bank all in rares L0L Don't trust any pc's listed, any advice or talks between posts on ID forums anymore , the Manips are let loose, especially the main one with 15+ accounts posting acting as different people.. do your own research
