I gotta say that I'm disappointed in this. I'm normally one to defend Jagex, but this is a terrible idea. You claim that it will nuke gold farming, but all it will do is bring it in-game, rather than them having to advertise websites. Now all they have to do is advertise that they sell *** gold for 1 bond. And then they can use said bonds to fund their membership on the farming accounts. It's like a membership laundering operation. It's actually legitimizing gold farmers, not hurting them.
And as stated before, even if no new money comes into the game, it's still true that you're trading real-life money for an in-game advantage, whether it be gold or resources. Shame, Jagex, shame. This idea is terrible, and should be the thing that's nuked.
