While the players will be able to control the price for Bonds, it's inevitable that they will become at least 1m or greater (Since trivial SoF items go for multi-mill's, prominently the crown of seasons, it's more than likely). Another problem is that Bonds are priced at 5$, and if illicit RWT sites offer gold cheaper than the in-game price of gold (which I get countless spam messages from advertisement bots showing offers selling gold cheaper than bonds will ever go for), then these Bonds don't really stop the problem, besides players who may want a more legitimate way of buying gold.

It's been over a decade, and I'm proud to say it's been one of my longest running games.

However - by no means necessary am I glad be on the ropes of leaving around such a time. I'd rather it be that this game was doing well and I was just getting too old for it.

No.. instead I am greeted by constant ***** ups with making sure proper 'content' is bug tested, patch notes that make me want to facewall until I die, promotions and IGP additions outnumbering normal content 3:1, and just normal nonsense.

As I explained earlier, gold farmers will not be put out of business by this. You know it doesn't and I think it's kind of misleading you would state it does.

It does is take a cut out of their profits and put them into jagex's pockets, where they can be used for useful updates.

Good update

As much as I dont like the idea of buying in-game items with real money, it actually sounds like a good idea. But what about all the accounts that got wrongfully permanently banned for gold farming and Jagex wont simply reply to the appeals?

1. Just sell me GP. These bonds just seem like a pain.

2. Runescape isn't dying, stop quoting the same thing that people have been saying since the beginning, its old and unoriginal. Every single MMO goes through player growth, then reductions, then growths...its cyclic.

3. Bonds are already going for as low as 5 million. Give it a couple of weeks and they'll be like 1 mil a piece if not less. I'm willing to bet this has little to no effect on the economy.

4. If you don't like them, don't buy them.

5. This may or may not be permanent. If it works to reduce gold farming, then it may stay. If it doesn't work, they may go away.

Maybe I have missed reading something, and I am pretty confused about all aspect of this and how exactly it works.

Surely the gold farmers (which must have some kind of fortune behind them) buy bonds on the GE or from players at way over price to take them out the market? ie. Not use them. Thus raising Bond in game prices, and/or giving Jagex free money. Then pay the trade tax and trade bonds for real money back to players?

What this update means:

1. Jagex isn't selling gold from this update. You're wrong if you disagree.
2. Jagex allows RWT but within Jagex's control.
3. Jagex acts as a safe middleman in exchange for their service, they profit through the sale of bonds.
4. They only sell the service, in which they allow you to trade it.

My thoughts:
I wish Jagex would admit to #2 since players could use real money (bond - yes one of the mods mentioned bonds as real money in one of their posts) to trade with in-game money/items.

RWT exists before this update, but not as safe. So, either with or without this update, RWT exists. I'd prefer this update since it keeps players who are into buying their advantages safer from being hacked, etc.

My suggestions:
Many other games are those this too, allowing "Cash shop" items to be traded in game, but they have a limitation on how much a player can spend per month. Perhaps Jagex would implement a limitation to this? I'd say about $50 to $100 per month (10-20 bonds).

Good update

Please tell me where in the past 10 months has there been a quality update. Something as good as it could be, not lackluster, not some quest that was nothing but a monster-killing fest.

Something not riddled up the wazoo with bugs. (so much for delaying so many updates this year that still get hotfixed because of some obvious issue leading to a problem occuring a good 30 minutes post-update)

And I don't mean one particularly good update that was nestled in an entire month of promotion garbage. I mean one particularly good update that was in a month that incorporated things along the lines of:

Quests
Skill additions
Graphical updates
Dungeons
UI Changes/Existing content upgrades
Etc.
