40%... Scarry.

EVE has had "Pilot License Extension (PLEX)" for quite some time now and it did not break the game. I think they work mostly as intended.

PLEX are not keep on death either which adds a twist as they can be looted if they survive the explosion.

PS: The 10% tax should be waived if you keep a bond for a reasonable length of time, say a month, IMO.

PPS: WHY do they not stack in the bank?, thats just stupid. Its not as if they are unique with charges or a tax timer, lol.

Lol, and all prices went back to normal, I knew it, once players realized no money was actually leaving the game, this measure would have zero impact on Runescape's economy, the bonds update officially failed now, the only objectives accomplished were A) more cash for Jagex and B) cheaters can now buy gp with real life cash legally.

Wasn't this supposed to help stabilize economy? I said it already, since it wasn't a real money sink, the impact on the economy would be null, aside from the panic sales on the first day, it had no impact. Fail. Just because Jagex was too greedy to make it an item sellable through NPCs in exchange for gp.

It's not meant to be an overnight solution. Bonds are going to take some time before you see a noticeable result overall.

The point of bonds is not completely a money sink, it's to keep the gold farmers at bay.

People with money, who want to buy gold instead of working for it, now have an official outlet to do so. Buying bonds from Jagex allows Jagex to pay for costs, pay employees, and further expand the game.

The player than can sell this bond to another player who has tons of gold but not enough money irl to pay for membership. This allows them to play the game for free in a sense.

This system does require trust though. People who want to buy gold have to be willing to buy these bonds from Jagex and not from third parties. Doing so will increase it's value and ruin the gold farmers business.

Overall this system is simple and works very well once it's been given some time to fully integrate into the game. Many other MMORPGs have this same system (Eve and Tera as some examples), both of them are nearly completely gold farming free and their player counts are relatively stable.

This gives F2P players a chance to enjoy the same content us members do without having to fork over money to pay for membership.

I sincerely hope others will research this system a bit more before spewing tons of hate and thinking this is the end of the game. This is the beginning of something amazing, just give it time.

not that i dont like the bond idea but how will they be earned? and what will happen to all the current in game gold?

Bonds are purchased for real money. Players then sell those bonds to other players. The seller then uses that gp for whatever they wish, most likely on the GE or saving up for a party hat or some extremely rare item.

They won't be earned, they will be bought either from Jagex for $5.00 USD or from players for whatever price they set in whatever resource/combination of resources agreed upon.

I did notice some people think it is ok to cheat! To them it is ok if the person has enough money to purchase items, that would take months to save up for if you did not cheat to get the item!

YES! It is cheating to purchase gold and the person who is over Runescape needs to be removed and bring in someone that does care about Runescape! The person who made this thread is the one who now says it is ok to cheat, but you must do this by buying Bonds!

Next time your playing another game online and hackers is using invisibility is that fair for the other players who don't use cheats?

The person in the video ' NO I WON'T SAY HIS NAME ' is telling everyone IT IS OK TO CHEAT and I won't ban people who cheat! I will alow this and profit from it!!!

Sir one day Runescape will fade away, because you did destroy it! Your greed for money will be the end of Runescape!!!
