I've been playing this game since 2004, and let me tell you, this is a step in the wrong direction. Selling gold to players to take out the gold farmers? So your solution is to become the gold farmers yourselves? That is ridiculous! Why not just ban all the players who have bought gold?! You say 40-50% of the community has purchased gold from gold-farmers, so you must know who these players are. Ban them, make an example, ban everyone in the future for doing the same, end of story; unless, of course, you're more concerned with profits...

"Hi, my name is Sam and I have been playing RuneScape for 6 months now. I love training combat, but some better equipment and armour would really help me. I want to buy Bonds and swap them for some ganodermic armour. I might finally be able to join my friends on a Nex run!"

The competitive community would like to remind Sam that all of his friends got their armor legitimately and in a game about bossing and being, well, an MMO, Sam's thinking is backwards and unwanted.

The final nail in the coffin... Just when I was about to start playing again.

RS3 is officially Pay2Win now. Buy anythingyou want with real world money. Gold, xp, items. Whatever.

So sad.

Thanks for killing the game Jagex. I won't be renewing my members. The introduction of bonds has not suddenly made Runescape "pay to win". Bonds cannot be traded for experience - either in terms of your in-game XP or your knowledge of the game. You will also only be able to trade for items that players have already acquired are willing - and able - to trade. Bonds give another option for trading between players.

You can buy gp now though...
Which can be used to buy armour/weapons for bossing or pvp and gp can also be used for skilling. You know what they say, money rules the world.

But let us also not forget how you can get exp from SoF...

Jagex is not selling gold and have no intention of doing so. Bonds offer players another option for trading freely with each other and this does not introduce new gold into the economy. The value of a bond is determined by players - whether it's placed on the Grand Exchange, given away as a gift to a friend, or as a reward to a loyal clan member, or traded for an item. However, none of these introduce gold or items to the economy that were not already present.

The bonds are a good step at the sellers in the rule breaking RWIT transaction.

What I and the other 60% of the loyal rule abiding players would like to see from Jagex is a pledge that the company will start enforcing the rules against the buyer side of the rule breaking transaction.

Jagex has stated that they know the number and hence the accounts that are cheating and since the return of free trade have ignore it with a wink-wink nod-nod.

That is insulting to honest players. We have knowingly been placed at a disadvantage. I would like to know that we will not continue to be slapped in the face by the cheaters being permitted in game advantage over us.

Now that bonds are in place we deserve a pledge that breaking the RWIT and buying gold from 3rd parties will be dealt with.

It does not bring new gold into the game you are correct, but people can still now unfairly gain or buy this gold through bonds and real life money, even if this is through other players themselves, you enabled them.
