Maybe I am missing something, but don't BOTH versions of the game have bond systems?

That means in both versions of the game, a person can purchase bonds directly from Jagex and exchange them on the GE for game gold.

What can be done with game gold? Why would any player want to spend their own money to trade for game gold in this way?

They may want it for buffs and skips. Specifically, combat gear, potions, deer scent, and whatever nonsensical thing adds more power to combat.

Also, in the form of training materials that are used to gain levels.

So, despite the tradability of all that gear, I'm not allowed to earn buffs because someone could buy them, in the same exact way?

??????

WHERE is my restitutions? I still had buffs to use but they were withdrawn. The argument against them holds no water.

Or does it? Anyone knows the difference?

Some folks might not realize what Pay 2 Win is really like.

Imagine if the devs were looking at EVERY piece of content for ways to monetize it. The #1 selling point becomes time skips and MTX currencies, which are dripped into the free content. Very small amounts.

At the same time, everything is balanced for top players. So the game gives out so much free stuff that you wouldn't even need to buy anything.

Except time. When the time, and therefore cost in skips, becomes too much for anyone, that is a losing strategy.

When MTX buyers are sitting on top of the hill, and nobody wants to play with them because they are so far behind, that is a losing strategy.

Runescape has a time problem, as more and more content is released for the current player base, it becomes way too much for future players. So the future MUST involve ways to skip time.

In our case, that is done with the bond system, but nobody really wants to talk about it.
