The price of bonds is to damn high.

It needs a fixed rate 70m all day everyday locked or maybe even 50-60m I get it RuneScape needs money coming in for membership but not everyone can afford the money so bonds are nice. but if it goes up and up alot of people are just going to end up quitting I love RuneScape like all of us do. but if it goes up up and up people are going to stop playing. just a rant but if the higher ups see's this consider it at least.

No. They need to follow the general inflation in the game. If they were at a fixed price, you would just end up with people not selling them on GE, and then you could not even get membership without paying for it in real life.

When price of membership went up, so did bond prices, but yeah, it's mostly player driven. Bob says:

I'd like to just point out that bonds in OSRS are only around 7m, not the 70m as seen in RS3, but buying and using a bond in either game gives membership for both games. So, theoretically, you could play OSRS to earn bonds, and then use the bonds in RS3.

It just all depends on how fast you can make money in either game as to which game would be more efficient for "farming bonds".

That's only partially true, Jagex can intentionally or subtly affect the price of Bonds by artificially expanding on their purpose and roles

The reason why Bonds have reached these exorbitant prices is because they have more uses than before, much of this Jagex knowingly does

By the way, I took the recent Jagex survey and it imposed a rather somber question, something like "Should we find more ways to increase the use of Bonds?"...I'm like "heck no" 1 Defence Iron

No support. Bond price is dictated by how valuable they are at the time for all of their various uses. More demand for bonds and less players selling means they'll go up. Less demand for bonds and more players selling means they'll go down. If anything, the survey going on asking players if we want more uses for bonds can always have the result of no so they wouldn't go up from that.

Supply and demand folks, supply and demand - if you want the gp price of bonds to come down, you need to convince people to pay more $$$ for them to have a greater supply available. Oh, and if you convince them to underprice them before the overall price goes down, let me know - I don't usually buy bonds, but I might be interested in buying :-) Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
