Not exactly. Jagex did make money from the gold farmers from the accounts they paid for. Of course, some gold farming accounts were on free worlds, jagex made nothing from them, but the accounts on membership worlds jagex made money from.

But if they are going to wipe out gold farming completely this was needed, I agree.

Okay I partly agree with this update but it does have one very concerning truth to it, one which will stop me playing the game competitively probably for good.

You can trade gifts for in-game gp, there will be a lot of demand for them due to their variety of uses and you will get a lot more for your money compared to things such as spins as a result.

It is true that some aspects of the game require skill and experience but a huge part of the game is a grind for exp, this can be bought. Training on Black dragonhide bodies is a lot more exp than training on Green dragonhide bodies, for example, and the only thing stopping the regular player from doing this is the cost.

You must realize that XP is one of the core parts to your game, it is the reason many people have to keep playing (not to mention your characters wealth).

On the flipside it is also true that this will severely discourage gold farmers, even if they try to compete with the money made from buying gifts the costs of both will continuously fall until they give up. In addition, buying from Jagex is obviously a lot safer than buying from some dodgy website.

I can't agree or disagree with this update, but I wish Runescape all the best for the future.

i do wonder, if, and i say if because i dont know, if there was a legit way for jagex to just shut down those goldfarming and bot websites, then why dont they just do that in some kind of way?

as for those of you who cant see how this willl end goldfarming, technically its not going to end gold farming, but its meant lower the amount somewhat. idk how, but somehow Jagex is under the assumption that bonds, which provide mems, runecoins, and spins, will somehow inspire players to not want to do rwt with those sites. i dont understand how this will work because one can get a bond but still want to buy from a goldfarmer...so the effectiveness still remains a mystery.

as for those who believe this is just more rwt, your right. spins and runecoins are no different. the only difference is the fact that it's tradable in-game. that's basically the only real flaw? it's true that it'll technically still be traded, but the question is, if a free player doesnt have the money to buy membership or those other things, how far is he willing to go to get it? the fact that it's tradable means that the rs economy now determines how far a free player must go to get it, and i dont trust that. i believe that bonds are more of a thing that clanmates or friends should have insead of the entire community.

Hi, anyone know if using a bond gets rid of that annoying trade limit?

Thanks!
The trade limits remain unchanged for members and free players.
However, bonds are exempt from these trade limits.

Noob kid, how long have you been playing rs? 2 weeks? Has it never come to your attention that when something is NEW, prices fluctuate like CRAZY, and they need time to stabilise? lmfao was wondering how long it would take you to pull out the "you have a defendong opinion cause youve only been playing since (insert day/month/year) here lol im not gonna tell you when i really started but by your attude id say it was much much longer before you did thats for damn sure and no **** shurlock but im also taking into account that this item gives membership and we know how much in demenad easy ways of membership is

f2p wants non rl cash ways to get membership
some members dont wanna pay rl cash anymore for membership for 1 reason or another
thus huge demand = huge prices i would not be surprised if it stayed at 15 mill eventually or even double that if it got that crazy but i dont see i9t lowering for at least a year or 2

First: USE interpunction, so ppl are able to at least read what u are babbling about. Second: The point is, as prices will stabilize, no matter how much bonds cost, each time they are traded in the ge, you lose 10%. This will prevent the "flipping" you formerly where concerned about.

This is so hypocritical. Can't you people do one thing right? There was nothing wrong with the old combat system: you release the EoC. The old interface was great: Lets make it annoying with RS3. A decade of no official RWT: Hello microtransactions and now actual RWT. What's next? Creating a botting office in china with the ability to pay to have someone level your account while you sleep?

Please enforce the rules against the 40% to 50% of the players engaging on RWIT if they continue to do so.

If you're so good at finding out who's buying GP from the bots, why don't you just ban their customers?

That way you get rid of the cheaters and also removes the market for RWT.

yeah why not do this?

this might work, but i doubt it. the first few poeple will start a bond clan, and start paying slow*, once they get money, it will continue, soon, the control the market, and then prices skyrocket where f2ps can never hope to get it. really jagex, i i would use a part time membership from thiis, but im sorry, this just might not work. i would be gald if it did and rose to a good thing, but i dont think it will
