Are you drunk! This doesn't stop gold farming, it just legalises it and spreads it out so that every player can buy their gp with real money, something you said you would never do.

I'll try to make this short & sweet:
The 40-50% is way more than I thought it would be (I thought 25-33% of players might buy gold from gold-farmers on a monthly basis). I think 40-50% is plausible, but I'm somewhat skeptical.
I'm quite disappointed that Jagex is choosing to mimic what I call the 'Asian money-factory' games, but I primarily blame the players who have chosen to RWT for causing this to happen.
-----------------
On a happier note, thanks for increasing drop rates & tear caps at the BoL.
Fyi you said that "After this week, it will no longer be possible to unlock titles or weapons." You might want to specify that you mean the titles unlocked while a player is participating in the Battle of Lumbridge, not the titles which are purchased with renown.

Despite that gold farming has significantly decreased, it will never be fully eradicated. Bonds might help severely mitigate the bot problem, but RS will become heavily influenced by real-life monetary status in which this game wasn't intended to be based on real-life circumstances like being rich or poor. Remember before Jagex implemented the SOF into the game, it stated, "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape." I strongly agreed with that initial statement until Jagex went hypocritical. That was the main reason I opposed SOF spins, and all bonds will do is add to that. If you're rich, you can now buy your way into this game easily. That's just freakin' great!
Also, like many anti-EOC players, all the gold farmers did was move on and entered OSRS. Although there's still a significant amount of players on RS3, they steered their focus towards OSRS, and that's why the bot issue has seemingly subsided. While RS3 may be largely bot-free, OSRS will still have its doors open to bots, so this isn't really an effective solution, but we'll see what happens.
