How long is it before Jagex stops stepping on their players in the name of "Anti-Goldfarming"?
Surly, the players who are the people who actually make the game deserve to be consulted to some degree... And not simply cherrypicking out people who follow Jagex's words and praise them in all their updates, but maybe people who have some alternate views.
I understand the effect that Gold farming has on the Runescape economy, but is it that much of a problem for normal players? Yes, prices of goods increase (only the more expensive goods anyway) and its unfair to a degree, but in reality it doesn't effect as many players as will be affected by these updates. In reality, all they are doing is trying to take the wealth that is going to the gold farmers, we know they just want the money, and its sad that its gotten to this.
Its also sad to think that the community has become watered down, all of the previous 'money-making' updates have already killed off many of the people who would have contested the updates, so much so that there is no backlash at all. Back only a few years ago, if an update like this happened there would have been in game protesting and whatnot. Then again, Jagex have never really been known to be influenced by their players, and often the in game protesting came to nothing.
In reality, as a player of nearly 8 years, i would rather see a return to balanced trade that the current efforts they are doing now.
Even so, i think some kind of protest would be good to see to the extent of players who disagree, and they are kinda fun.

Original message details are unavailable.
So... Assuming all players involved are maxed with the same level of knowledge
Player A buys 1000 bonds and sells them to player B.
Player A now has 7bil, or W.e the value is.
Player C did not purchase any bonds to sell.
Player A now has an ingame advantage over Player C due to Irl wealth.
Good job Jagex..
Italics=edit for clarity.
Since you never answered my amended statement.. I'll give it again
Just going to keep doing until i get a reasonable answer
EDIT: Oh, advantage in the form of being able to level skills faster due to a higher bank value, so things like prayer, herblore etc. Ability to buy the best gear to gain an advantage in pvm and pvp scenarios. If you can use a rune scimmy, you can use drygores. If you can use a wand, you can use seismics. I've lost my arrow. Have you seen it? It's been on my mind a lot lately...
