Disgusting. Jagex you are literally selling gold. In a few months, the bonds will disappear in favor of a gp dispensary. Mark my words.

To be clear Jagex are not selling gold and have no intention to do so. Introducing Bonds gives players the ability to trade their in-game items in exchange for membership, RuneCoins, RuneFest tickets etc

Players only are able to purchase bonds from the ge to get membership etc.
The only way these bonds ever make it to the ge is if people sell them on their after they have purchase them with irl cash.
So when they sell them on the ge they are "buying" gp which means that jagex are selling gold.
Just saying thats how it is!
If i am wrong then correct me

I, at least, support this change. It makes sense to me, even if I had to spend a few minutes thinking about it.
Allow me to explain.
Say the bonds are worth 15m in-game. So, they can be sold for anywhere between 14m-15.5m. Possible less, if you're willing to lose so much money from that. Now, you may be thinking, "Well, couldn't a noob then buy a bond and sell if for a bunch of cash?" well, not exactly... theoretically, they could. But, most noobs will probably still be unsure about the game, and may not want to fund it right away. They may not even know how the g.e. works, for that matter. And noobs who are more sure about spending money on the game probably just buy a ton of cash from RWT sites, so it really doesn't affect them much.
"But EvilDylan182, this is RWT! JaGeX has broken it's own rules!"
Well, again, not exactly. See, even though they're selling bonds that can become in-game money, said in-game money comes from your
Also, whoever sells said bond will probably blow all of the money on a house (good money sinks, those), better armor, or other various things; allowing the money to be distributed among the sellers of these items.
In addition, these can soon be given to charity. 'Nuff said.
Side note: I never figured it out.... do the Gowers still work at JaGeX, or did they leave? I remember Paul being mentioned in one of the podcast, but that's about it...

fellow players.
That's right. While one gains side gains money, someone else looses money. And don't forget, whoever's buying it is either going to re-gift it to a friend (-1.5m from rs economy), convert it to runecoins, spins, or make it into membership. And now, this bond can't be used (except by the second friend), the 13.5m that that would make if it was sold again wouldn't be used.
