To Jagex and the fellow members of the RuneScape community,

I do believe initiating this Bond system is very beneficial to numerous players, including myself. As mentioned by Lumen Lorek Bonds are really useful for some players that cant purchase membership like me. In the past now with the bonds everyone can get membership, and actually enjoy the game and if it keeps bots and Gold farmer out of Runescape even better. I do see the effects of the amount of money injected within the game to be greatly reduced consequent of the inefficiency of the gold farmers, largely due to the instigation of this system. The most noticeable effect is on the price of Dragon Bones, from a previous 2000 gold to now 5000 gold is clearly reminiscent of the inefficient production the gold farmers are capable of making.

I thank you very much for creating this system, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Good job on Bonds, JaGEx.
Hated the goldfarmers with passion, but now there's a way to drive them (goldfarmers) out of RuneScape.

Side-suggestion: Remove the 200m gold coins reward from the Squeal of Fortune, please? At least it'd be ours Christmas Present (as a community) of sorts...
It can be even replaced with 5-10 additional spins (since it's on the top-rare spot), but that massive amount of pumped-into-economy gold needs to go. RuneScape player since 2007.

I have been playing for a very long time hmm, 8 years+

let's face some facts:
1) gold farming is and has been going on
2) someone else is making money off of jagex's great game... their ideas, using this
3) sorry, if some people want to pay to win that is their right you don't have to like it

positives:
+bonds will allow good people to work together & give membership to someone
+no credit card sharing, account sharing, scamming sites, viruses, fraud

complaints and replies to complaints stated:
-bonds will allow players who have 2 billion to have lots of years of membership

okay come on... the bonds do not come out of thin air, it is 1 month for 10$ USD. a bit more than the current rate in fact. someone HAS to buy these, to put them in the game. the players with 2 billion who buy these.... are buying something that is helping jagex. so what if they can sit back and turn their cash into membership, don't they have the right? some of them really did work hard, they can retire now. does it mean the game is losing their money, yes, does it mean the game is losing money because of them - no- it is actually gaining money, someone else's money (and at a higher rate)

-bonds will not be able to compete with gold farmer prices

this might have been true at the start but let's consider this:
current price is 8.6m for 14 days, 5$
500 cents 8.6m
58 cents 1m
is this not cheap? it might have started at twice that, 15m or whatever but at this rate it can definitely compete

-bonds make the game pay to win
so what! if someone wants to pay jagex 10$ for 17m and then use that 17m to buy ores, smelt them, smith them, get lots of levels.... that is their choice it does not have to be your choice and you do not have to judge them for it, we have to respect them even if we do not agree with them. you'll get there, just slower

you'll also have more fun playing your way, you can still compete, later

kudos jagex for this bold measure, use the money to better the game for us all!

i luv the bonds, great to community, more can be mems that cant afford it, it has sooo much benefits to the game, it also attempts to knock out gold sellers and bot farmers since people with real money can buy bonds and sell them to ge for good money, so it benefits rs in all cituations. luv bonds.

What community?
Gold sellers still prevail. An "attempt" all it is.
Real money can buy anything, thus pay-to-win.

Lol, are you a dumba**?

Buy gold from us instead of the gold farmers. Lmfao
Funny thing is they still exist with lower rates.

And this is a suggestion can you make bonds that can be bought with runecoins and loyalty points.
