Have to say Jagex you have out done yourself.
Brilliant...

I was at first like hey people are just going to abuse this and buy their banks, then I realized they a they already were. May as well have the money go towards you guys so we can get further improve the game.

Good Job.

EDIT:
To all the people who are against this please ponder the following:
Do we want botters/goldfarmers to be ruining the economy or would we prefer to just have something that Jagex can benefit from. Like seriously the money was already going away from Jagex for their own curency.

you got it!
If their numbers of 40-50% of players were buying gold, then yes it is rather logical to allow people to buy it through Jagex's systems, having them get the profit instead of a third party. I just wish there was a different solution other than "if you can't beat them, join them."

Everyone in Jagex put the ***** **** down please....

this is the most ridiculous flipping idea I have ever heard come from this company yet!
You just slapped me in the face for all my true years of service. I HAVE GIVE N YOU TRUE YEARS OF SERVICE i AM A HIGH LEVEL PLAYER WHO HAS PAID NON STOP DUES TO YOU MONTHLY SINCE 2004.

For alllll these years you have ignored me and other members with such disgrace by letting all these farmers and bots succeed to this magnatute. Your HIGH-SCORE board is completely filled with GLORIFIED HIGH LVLD BOTS!

HOW IS THIS GONNA BE FLIPPING FAIR FOR US HIGH LVLD TRUE PLAYERS WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY GOLD FARMERS WITH HIGH LVLED BOT ACCOUNTS JUST GO AND BUY THESE RIDICULOUS BONDS AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN MEMBERSHIPS WITH THEM. FOR $50 YOU CAN GET $120 MILLION ... MILLION.... MILLION... IN THE GAME. YOU SAID THAT WHEN SOLOMON'S CAME OUT YOU WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER PUT IN AN IN GAME ADVANTAGE!! i AM SOOOO DISGUSTED WITH THIS COMPANY AND WHAT THEY DID TO DRIVE THIS GAME DOWN SO BAD.

Essential you said.... my butt. If you Mod Mark and Jagex company really kept up to your bargain and stuck to this game investing in it true time and true mods instead of other endeverous failed games I think this game would have had as many true members as w0w and other games on the net. YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO YOUR PLAYERS AND LET US HELP MAKE DECISIONS WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK OVER. INSTEAD YOU FAILED US AND CONTINUE TO BRING IT DOWN.

YOU OWE ME MORE THEN ANOTHER FAILED UPDATE AS THIS ONE!
YOU OWE US MORE THEN ADDING BONDS FOR FARMERS/BOTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE TO GET ACCESS TO FREE MEMBERSHIP TO GET YOUR NUMBERS BACK UP!!!

I think this is a great idea for those unable to purchase their own membership, however I feel it would be even better if we could redeem our in-game money directly to an NPC for a set amount. - Currently the GE has each bond at 12M+ at this price most non-members and a large majority of P2P members will be unable to afford the in-game "tariff" let alone the bond itself.
Is this something that could be introduced in the future?

Heya R1verSong ,

The price of bonds is determined by the players who are trading them. Bonds do not necessarily have to be traded for GP, so if you have an awesome high-value item, then it's worth trying to barter with other players outside of the G.E.

It will probably take a while before the G.E. prices settle for bonds - so although it's 12 mil at the moment, it could well come down. What bonds are essentially doing though is putting more value on your time invested into the game - if someone is struggling to afford membership but is dedicated, they can acquire membership through efficient use of their play time, or even acquire other awesome things such as Runefest tickets!

Mod Tron -

1. For the first mark, I meant donating. Like.. to charities. Not to other players. I leave any free-giving of bonds away to players under the category of gifting. Which isn't a yet available option. So realistically it should only be four uses, with a potential fifth on the way. I still, however, doubt this being added.

2. "Bonds are not designed to straight up replace membership. You are correct in thinking that it is most cost effective to simply buy membership, however this system is a direct response to stamp out gold farmers for good.

It's a sad fact that gold farmers are like cockroaches and will always find a way to survive. We strongly believe, based on evidence of similar systems working in other games, that this will prevent people from even considering purchasing gold - and will in fact help strengthen the in-game economy and make GP a more valuable resource. This will put an end to gold farmers in RuneScape."

So - you're implying this will put an end to gold farmers because anyone who has the intention to gain gold via trades involving these items can simply pop 20$ down and earn god knows how many gold coins. Is that not selling gold? Sure; the chain of events has an extra link on it and literally speaking you aren't advertising it as HEY EVERYONE 5$ CAN GET YOU 10-15m+, but every single person who wants gold can so easily do it now. No more buying 2,000 spins - hoping for a 'maybe' chance at 200m. No, no. Players can now just rely on selling an item a direct market value of that particular item and stock up on it via real-world money.

4. Again, very little side aspects of use besides getting SOMETHING worth money. Whether or not it's the players' choice to with it as they wish, usage of the bond they just bought is rather silly. Gifting it is viable, but by no means whatsoever do I see it as some excuse where it's your runaround excuse for it not being gold selling. All that leaves? Exchange or sale for something with a coin value.

I agree, but I don't see it.

12 million for 1 bond is actually a decent price. The current price for third party gold is about $1/2.5mil. This would be $1/2.4mil. Slightly less valuable, but assuming the gold farmers don't drastically reduce their prices, this is a decent alternative for people who don't wish to feel like they're doing something wrong, or associate with English-challenged Chinese people.
