Sweet, so now a ten year old with a credit card can be better than my decade old character by a method condoned by the game. I've stuck with runescape through the good and the bad, but this.... This makes me question why I bother playing.

Oh dear Jagex, why you make it so complicated with those bonds? Just make a neat store on the website where one could buy in game gold and items for real money without having to use G.E. to sell that crap and get gold / get whatever they really want.

Of course, this would not work alone, because gold farmers would just choose to undercut your official prices. There are two solutions for this:
a) monitor the prices gold farmers charge for in game gold and try to compete with them.
b) cooperate with gold farmers to make a cartel agreement and set same / simmilar prices; share the loot with those hard working gold farmers.


they are cooperating with the gold sellers, jacmob being on of them. research rs buddy on yt.

Thanks for that. As the saying goes, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" ;)

Jagex you did not solve the problem of gold farmers. All you are trying to do is get a piece of the action - and you are not even successful at doing that. You initially set up the ge price on your bonds at 15M each, which was about the going gold farmers rate. However, the ge value is falling about 1M a day at the moment. Gold farmers continue to be cheaper and easier to buy from. At least of a person buys from a gold farmer they know how much gold they will get. With bonds is a crap shoot if you can sell them at all.

If you truly want to end gold farmers success, it so much easier than your theory of bonds. Instead of competing for sales you need to eliminate their customers. You claim you have tracked gold purchase to 40% -50% of the accounts. So if you know who is buying gold - track their purchases and remove the gold, or equivalent items, from their account. If for some reason the gold or items are not there because they used them to train, reduce their skill stats. People will not continue to buy gold if it is only removed from the game by Jagex.

You need to seriously rethink this bond thing. Keep real world money out of the game.
