Well i guess this is one of the last things leading to destroy RS as a whole game. For example, I'll invest 500€ and get resources for all skill that you can buy resources for. Not to mention the joy that is rushing through all the merchant clans members veins. Very bad idea, probably will do good in some cases, but mostly I think it will ruin the game. Why was RS so attractive? Because you couldn't buy your way in. Well, now you can.....

Guys, what a great idea. I know for a matter of fact that similar systems exist in other MMO's (most notably is probably Guild Wars 2 with their Gems system, but there are also others) and in those games, it works. When I read the first few sentences, I immediately thought of the danger for merchanting, but only a few lines later there was already an explanation how this problem was tackled.

What is also important I think, is the way you explained it. What a great example of good communication with the community. There will surely be questions and I am pretty sure that there will be adjustments made on the system based on experience and feedback of the community, but it seems that this system is thoroughly thought through and from what I can see, this is something all (legit) players will benefit from. Good thing that you outlined the most prominent situations and explained the effects for them. I, myself, will be in the category that will mostly ignored it, but the consequences will definitely be something I will benefit from in the long run.

I assume there will always be people trying to look at the bad sides of this and surely there are negative things one can think of, but this is a solution that seems to be very well designed and it has given me a lot of new hope for the future of Runescape in general.

Please explain why a gold buyer would rather buy bonds than buy from a goldfarmer? Especially if the goldfarmer can offer a cheaper price per GeePee?

*points to Eve Online*

Simple

bonds are
Safe
Secure
Cheap
Won't get your account banned.

If you dont believe me, then i suggest you go out and try to find a place that sells EVE online Isk.
I heard about EVE. I just don't see how this combats goldfarming? Runescape Forumers Discord Server

I got 2 problems with this idea

1: By buying a bond for $5, i can sell it through ge for 15million coins, or w/e the ingame price will be. I don't see how that is not selling virtual money for real money.

2: All you are actually offering to get rid of gold farmers, is a safe way to buy in game money for irl cash. If the gold farmers are offering a lower price per mill, bonds won't completely finish gold farmers.

The fundamental mechanism which makes bonds 'work' as a way to get rid of gold farmers, is that you now don't have to go to insecure rwt sites, but buy rs gp indirectly from jagex with irl money. I do get you are not adding additional money to the game and in that way not creating money, but you do attach a value to rs gp.

I do not like the fact that Jagex is now indirectly selling gp for irl money, I however prefer that the money spend by customers on gp is going to jagex hq instead of to gold farmers. That way they can, besides making some more bucks themselves, enrich our gaming experience.

I however do need some more time to think this through..

My only hope, that Jagex will use the additional profit they get from bonds to fund Runescape's port to mobile devices. I sincerely believe that no game company today should ignore the mobile platforms for their games. You embrace mobile or die, that is the current trend in the gaming industry.

^^ Why do you think jagex has ported runescape to html5

HTML5 beta, you require a Watson-level computing power to run decently.

Now that Jagex has the funds, it is not acceptable if they won't port Runescape to mobile devices. If you guys ignore mobile gaming, Runescape won't be sustainable as a business in a long run ('long run' = more than 10 years).
