14 days of membership for 3 pounds = rip off for a month of membership its 3.20 for a vet person who paid for a few months i paid for years

so look into that prospective

going bossing is boring n groups now like normal bossing like gwd bandos, saradomin, zammy and armadyl everything cheap so that ruin main gameplay of runescape bring back prices of the things we gained when we had to boss maybe people would get membership again

over the years everything i done to get my items were good prices now the prices are stupidly newbie makes us vets leave cus we done everything to get the items then prices went really low. where the solution in that

back in the day we used to camp bossing as a team now its not even worth it cus no matter how hard you tried the worse your bank goes down

example: runescape said dont sell your spirit sheilds as its only cus people put their sheilds in ge reason for the price being down, now look at it corp just looks like a newbie boss to kill these days as the sigils are hard enough to get yet the sigils are worthless now

After reading the forums I think 2 things need to be clarified
1 Since it starts with money and ends in gp for Player A, Is that RWT?
2 Define play 2 win, I see it as having to pay money to obtain the best gear that cannot be obtained with in game means. That is why i like smithing especially in Daemonheim!

okay i think this has been really informative (and with some great raging in the chat) and it's answered my main questions:

- grandfathering of subscriptions isn't affected, using a bond for mems just pushes the rebill date back
- some proper thought has gone into the long-term price of bonds v the price of goldfarmed gp

this could really make the game, and it's certainly going to change things quite radically. basically (as i see it at the moment) the more i play the less i pay. which is nice.

$ 5 = 14 days play? I pay $ 25 for 90 days play time, now to cost me $ 32.14?
ummmmmm did you just raise the cost to play R S under the guise of "stop bot" talk?

Because charging over two times what goldfarmers charge is going to stop botting/goldfarming? No, never, not a chance. I really don't see why Jagex continue to lie through their teeth about updates. At least be honest and say "This is necessary for us to profit off this dying game even more." The only people who are going to buy these bonds with real money are fanboys, children, and fanboy children, all of whom will defend jagex's moneygrabbing tactics till the end.

The ONLY good thing I saw in this was a money sink. I can applaud the update for that much needed addition, as this will be a huge money sink from rich people hoarding/buying them, but seriously, anyone who can google knows the bond prices are terrible.

Your update needs an update. you do realize there are web sites out there that sells a mill for like 30 cents each. when atm you guys are selling 1.4m for a buck each.
And for the players that do want to buy bonds, you need to make it where you can buy loyalty points as well. And maybe make it possile where bonds can be player made as well. and make it trade able to only jagex. that would make more since imo.

So Jagex is basically saying they don't support real world trading for coinage, because that gives some players an unfair advantage over others? I agree with that, but your idea to combat that is the selling bonds, for real world cash, which can be traded in game for coins. That's basically the same thing gold farmers are doing, but using scripts and codes to program a new system into the game instead of using a bot to farm the gold for sale. It's the same thing, players can buy bonds for real world cash, sell in game for coins and have an unfair in game advantage, it doesn't stop real world trading for gold coins unless you end free trading of coins in game.
Just seems like another way for Jagex to make a buck, like the SoF, that's basically real world gambling for coins, items and experience points as well, giving one player an advantage over another who doesn't have the means to buy spins.
