So i bought an untradable bond from a player and was able to redeem it for 14 days of membership, is this "untradable" trade an overlook? or is the untradable just for the ge? Players who buy the bond from the website will be able to trade the bond immediately. However, if you buy the bond from the Grand Exchange or receive it through a trade with another player you will have to pay a fee in GP to be able to trade it on again. This re-trade cost is designed to reduce excessive merchanting.

You will be free to redeem the bond for membership, RuneCoins, or spins at any time as this is redeeming the bond and not trading it.

So did he trade me a tradeable one and it show up on my screen as untradable? At the point it was traded to you it went from being tradeable to untradable. It was that trade to you that changed the bond from one state to the other.

If you wanted to change it back from untradeable to tradeable there would be a cost in GP to do so - 10% of the value of bonds on the Grand Exchange

So why not just restrict free trade and wilderness again?

O wait, because the 40% that RWT again will complain. Everyone else who actually plays fairly would be happy, but, but, but, that would get in the way of maximizing profit I guess.

AMEN

So...

Player A buys 1000 bonds and sells them to player B.

Player A now has 7bil, or W.e the value is.

Player C did not purchase any bonds to sell.

Player A now has an ingame advantage over Player C due to Irl wealth.

Good job Jagex..
Player A would still not have the skills and XP required to use any items they may have traded bonds for. Nor will the player have the knowledge of the game to be able to use those items most effectively. The player will still have to invest their time in the game to increase their XP and to learn how, or where, is best to use the items.

Player C may well still be more successful than Player A depending on their experience and time spent within RuneScape.

In addition to this your Player B who has purchased the bonds is able to gain membership, additional spins, or RuneCoins by purchasing those bonds.

And you're simply assuming that Player A and B are starting from point 0, correct? What if we said they were actually level 150, and had quite a bit of skills. Player A then containing all of the gp, would easily be able to buy the most efficient and most expensive training methods in the game.

Ie. getting 55 - 99 fletching with broad bolts in a matter of 2 days, vice yew longs. I would say that it rather a giant leap of an unfair advantage wouldn't you?
99.5%

Drop party?

But Player B has now a lack of money that is equal to the advantage of Player A, which means that there is nothing, that did not exist in the first way.

What i dont understand is how jagex have the cheek to say this isn't rwting:

Buy bonds with rl gp
Sell bonds seconds later for rs gp

???

What happened to that your financial status irl shouldn't effect your game play motto?

Anyway no point making gp on this game may as well go get a job flipping burgers


Why not just do a poll and see what the players seriously want instead of trying to cover your greed by saying its beneficial to us.

I like the idea of buying membership with rsgp but bringing rl into it is just greedy.

Everyone seems to be frothing at the mouth before this update has even been given a chance to work. Put on your poor "wandering monk" garb, turn off run, take a long stroll, and just appreciate how different RuneScape is from any other game. Take in some of the little details that have been so lovingly attended. Runescape is not, nor can ever be "perfect"...but go try to find another game in the genre as good. You'll be looking a long time. I know, I have.
So let's give the update a chance first. As for gold farmers and sellers, they can all rot in Hades. As for people who buy rs gold...all I can say is, I'm glad I'm not like you. You would probably cheat at Solitaire, too.

Why is it a problem to you guys that some rich kid buys bonds? I don't care if someone buys gp with irl money. This just means that now you can buy runecoins/membership/spins with in-game money and you don't ever need to spend any money on runescape again. Ever. Seems like a good deal to me.

If I have a full torva that i've worked for very hard in-game and a guy next to me has a full torva that he bought with bonds, Im not gonna make a big number out of it or be angered/mad/envious/whatever because of that. Im not losing anything if other players buy rs gold and no new gp is getting into the game. In the end, I know that i've worked hard for my in-game gp, had fun doing it and that's enough. It's your own goals that matters, not the other people ones.

If you get really angered about someone else buying bonds, then buy them yourself if you feel they get unfair advantage. If you don't have any irl money for it, then go make some and stop whining about it. And yes, that was intentionally provocative.

So how about the 40-50% of the players that were actually buying all the gold? Are they just going to continue playing runescape without ANY punishment at all? If these players would have gotten punished for buying gold you wouldn`t have needed to make bonds in the first place because they are the reason gold trading for real life money exists in the first place. But oh well i guess that banning all those rulebreakers would hurt your salary too much....

My apologies for any spelling/grammatical mistakes English is not my first language.

AMEN BROTHER
