i honestly wonder what happened to all the pmods? where are they. or has jagex discontinued them because of the corruption? they could realllly be useful in weeding out the gold farmers and botters....i havent heard from them in a long time...

I don't understand the logic here. I'm reading two Jmods arguing that this is not a gold buying alternative/pay to win solution...

Player a buys bond with rl cash
Player a places bond onto the ge
Player b uses their gold to buy bond
Player a receives gold in exchange
Player a has received gold for buying a bond with rl cash
Player a is now able to fund skills, buy equipment.

How can you possibly argue that this is not for buying gold or paying to 'win'?

Do you consider us that stupid... or are you deliberately being obtuse and relying that most will just give up moaning because what ever they say is ignored?

Regardless... currently buying bonds with gp I've developed over the years so I can cancel my card transaction and play osrs till it's popularity wanes :-) Thank you.

I am disappointed that Jagex has gone into the gold selling business. I have cancelled my membership.

It was bad enough when the criminals sold gold, now the police are.
Jagex are not selling gold and have no intention of doing so.

Jagex are not introducing additional gold into the economy by allowing the purchase of bonds which selling gold would have done.

Bonds are like any other in-game item in that they can be traded between players or on the Grand Exchange for the value that a player deems the bond to be worth to them.

You say that, but you just arent getting your hands dirty. you are in directly selling gold, you are selling an item that can be traded for currency in game. you say you arent selling gold, and if thats what you think then that is probably why you havent realised that this will not work!

Jagex IS selling gold, maybe not by selling it directly to a player, but selling an item that other players may pay a lot of money for.

I don't know how to feel about this. Another microtransaction... but will it really have its intended effects?

I miss the old days when all we had to worry about was when our membership expired.

i highly dout its effectiveness. this will only feed the farmers...being on a member's level will show long-time free players how hard it is to be a member as far as quests and high lvl content, it may only encourage them to buy from gold farmers and bot. the more harder things the weakling sees, the easier it is to fall for the easy way out...fortunately, people like you and me are strong

While I agree with taking the business from the gold farmers, I can't say that I agree with the method. I have thought for many years that jagex should get involved in the RWT economy, however I thought they should do it by regulating the trading of gold and letting players themselves sell gold through the jagex website to other players. Simply buying gold from Player A for a certain price, throwing a small commission on it, and then reselling to Player B for the finished price would have stopped gold farmers and benefited long term players more. Not to mention Jagex would have profited without doing much at all.

will you make PayByPhone a payment possibility for Bonds?

I've passed this feedback on. It's certainly something we'll be looking at in the future.
