@Teh Kisuka

Any "hate" we may be "spewing" is because we don't want further degradation of Jagex's integrity with all of these microtransactions that IVP keeps pushing down our throats. If Jagex wanted to offer them in game for in game wealth most of us wouldn't mind so much.

I think someone needs to learn what RWT means. Would you like me to tell you? I will anyway, RWT=Real World Trading=trading in game items for real world cash meaning player pays cash for IN GAME ITEM: BOND!

Edit: Fixed a missed capitalisation.

You don't know what the legal definition (what Jagex is against) of RWT is.

If we are going to define RWT as "Real world trading", and that is the literal sense of the words, trading in the real world (with real life money), then I could say Jagex has allowed RWTing since 2002 (membership).

But if we are going to define RWT as what it legally is, that is Intellectual Property Theft, then no Jagex cannot RWT. Intellectual Property Theft can only occur when one of the parties is selling the item they don't own for real life money. Jagex owns the property, thus can't steal from themselves. It is physically and literally impossible for Jagex to RWT so long as they own RuneScape.

You have done the right thing Jagex. After so many years, you have finally done what I have wished for and dreamed of. I can sell some excess for real money. Also my friend that has no money can now purchase membership. I'm really excited and I think this will turn around the game. Watch your player base grow as more players can obtain membership than before. Nothing is more discouraging than seeing the message "you must be on a member's world to use this"

You have followed in the example of Blizzard who did the same thing on their games, and it worked!

It gives people the freedom to choose, and it competes with the bot farmers. I can now get all my friends to play

Since EOC, bots and gold farmers have been nearly wiped out, it's easy to see that in-game, talk about an overreaction, or is it simply spin.

I would like to see a serious conversation from Jagex about your declining player base.

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.

Yep...... it only takes one day to fix an economy.....................

"Pro Creator", you can pretend to be a moron, but I'm guessing you very well know those items whose prices have skyrocketted over the last few months will stay up there, you can give it a day, a week, a month or a year, but mark my words, the inflation situation is not going to get any better and precisely those people holding on to those items are saying it. Prices won't be going down, at least not considerably enough to represent a real change. And the reasons have been very well presented by many here, get it, kid?

Claiming that this isn't pay to win...is at best ridiculous. Player A Purchases a bond for money and sells it for gold...then repeats. Is this not changing real world money for gp? Please enlighten me.
The introduction of bonds into the game is not making the game pay to win.

A player who has invested time in game that has increased their XP and skills and who has developed the knowledge within the game to use items most effectively is still going to be able to be more successful than a player who has simply traded a bond for an item but doesn't have the same level of knowledge or skill levels.

I suppose it would depend on one’s definition of “win.” Your example of invested time and knowledge would possibly be applicable to pvp; however, unfortunately from a skiller’s point of view this would certainly be viewed as “pay to win.”

A player who buys bonds with real world money, exchanges it on the GE for gp, then uses that gp to purchase skilling supplies would most definitely be at a HUGE advantage over less wealthy players.

I also agree with the other players who have stated that they don’t feel this would affect gold farmers.

Why in the world would a cheating player spend more real world money on Jagex’s bonds if they are able to buy the equivalent gps worth from a gold farmer for less?

I'm more of a skiller than a killer. and I don't find this update bad.
