I see all of you complaining quite a bit about the fact bonds are pricey and F2P can't obtain them anymore...this is in fact, a lie.
membership costs will continue to rise as the base amount of players dwindle to the mere 10-thousands...and then we'll finally see runescape close.
If runescape is to survive, prices must go up. The demand for this game anymore is extremely low. Those of us that remain play for the sake of nostalgia and something to do while we unwind from a trash day at work...or just to have something to do when everything else bores us.
If you don't want to pay to play, then don't pay to play. F2P has enough to do to keep you occupied, and in saying that, there are plenty of means to obtain enough GP to fatten your bank. If you haven't noticed...lots of particular consumables are on the rise for various reasons, plus the anticipation of the new skill drop, so take advantage of this while you can and buy yourself a few bonds.
Once bonds literally bottom out, stockpile them. yes, they will bottom out soon...because guess what's coming soon? ALWAYS!...plan your membership around certain special events and BXPW they say...yea sure, you go ahead and do that so we can watch manipulators get away with flipping extreme demand items.
TL;DR
If you don't wanna pay, then don't pay.
Tired of playing? Go to another game.
It's that simple.
