Hm, in the past, people who bought gold and traded with gold farming accounts, have been banned along, afaik.

So is it safe to trade with someone named ChingChing123456, or do we have to pay attention?

This update makes me sad :( it's going to destroy the game for people who never did rwt and just want to play the game like it used to be. They've gone from sof to solomons and now this... R.I.P rs for me. Just my opinion.

"When you have 35 bonds in your inventory and/or bank"

28 inv spots and bonds un notable lol

ok i will put them in my bank - would be handy if you made bonds stackable at least in the bank :)

Im guessing this is reason for bank booster sale :D

40% of all players have bought gold... well... why am I not surprised?

Ever since buyable spins have been introduced, Jagex is engaged in RWT (spare me the weaseling) and gold selling. Until then, buying gold was mostly immoral because players cheated against other players. Since then, buying gold from a (cheaper) gold farmer just meant cheating Jagex out of an extra profit. It didn't take an economy genius to predict that many players would be far less reluctant to engage in RWT. (In fact, I did predict this outcome more than a year ago.)

So the sellout policy backfired. Badly. Buying your way up has now become socially acceptable in the game - spin and other advantage buyers are no longer being frowned upon, spin boycotters have become a quaint and diminishing minority (and, yes, since Jagex counts free spin users as sellout policy supporters, this means not using any free spins). Realistically, there's no way to undo this damage.

Since RWT is now an accepted, official part of Runescape, the bonds actually might be a way to keep this game afloat. Let's hope it works.

And, @Mod MMG: Do take some responsibility for the damage you've done to this game and its long term prospects. Learn from your mistakes for a change.

The last thing Runescape needs is another series of greedy bond-sale-boosting "events" that a) replace real content updates (still some 8 quests behind schedule...) and b) scare off the ever fewer remaining players.

im kinda agreeing with the people saying this is a way to "pay to win" theoreticly if u had and were willing to spend the money u could buy these bonds with real money and sell them in the game for a fair amount of gp and if u did that enough u could have enough gold to buy all the bones/ashes to get 99 prayer, herbs/seconds to get 96 herblore, drygores, asc Xbows, zartyl bow, seis wand, all 3 sets of nex armor and anything else u wanted of course it would be very expensive but theoreticly it would be possible or am i missing something?

I'm sorry, but i fail to see how this will effect gold farming. Wouldn't someone just buy gold cheaper elsewhere? buy as many bonds as they can from players, and then become a member for months and months. Cheaper than what you are charging for membership, effectively cutting you guys out of selling membership. This will cause inflation in price for the people buying bonds and memberships because you guys will need make prices higher in order to make the money you need to keep running. I feel like the bonds will quickly become worthless.
