I will keep paying my $5 membership fee each month for a while,as long as I am getting
some pleasure from playing.
But I feel having to hear chatter about bonds everywhere will cause me to keep more and more to myself, and feel like logging in less frequently. This promises to be way more annoying than SoF promotions. I can even foresee possibly losing interest all together.

It makes me sad.

I feel exactly the same way. I also feel like an idiot when all the evidence indicated that there was a lot of cheating going on but I continued my membership.

Hearing Jagex allowed the problem to become so prevalent and looked the other way with a wink-wink nod-nod as the cheaters were allowed to gain every advantage in the game over honest players was like a punch in the stomach.

Very great points, Ghosttalon. As far as the first, it's definitely just an attempt thus far, but I would very much so like to see it succeed and see gold farming websites eliminated.

Secondly I've heard about him/her, but never looked into it myself so could neither personally verify or deny your statement at the moment, but I would assume it is true. I was discussing the 3-strike ban policy earlier with someone who felt all rulebreakers should be terminated on the spot. I'm a strong believer in rehabilitation. I perceive that specific scenario as an act of such, I would assume he's not being paid to flood the game with bots, but is being paid to use his abilities positively to improve the game experience.


As for Jacmob, you're quite possibly more liberal than I. I can't get past that he profited from a criminal activity, and they hire him especially because of his experience with that. So, in essence, he's still getting rewarded for his past illicit activities irl. Quite different from giving a cheating gameplayer a second chance.

As for stopping goldfarming, I actually hope you're right. I just can't get past my skepticism/pessimism given what I know about our CEO's history.

It's never an outright lie with Mr. Gerhard, but the truth of the matter generally doesn't turn out to be the reasoning given, either.

While you have gained free membership from your gp someone else has spent real money to pay for your membership at a current rate of twice what it would have cost you. What you saved....was actually paid for by someone else at the rate currently of 2 times what it would have orginally cost. Classy.

Yes. I know what I did, and I know what whoever sold it to me did. I don't think you understand that we both did it by CHOICE. Jagex is selling "your" gold, sure, but only if you CHOOSE to sell it, at a price that you CHOOSE is fair. Whoever bought the bonds CHOSE to buy them, and CHOSE to sell them to me of an AGREED amount of rsgp. That's what they DECIDED a safe transaction of $-to-rsg* was worth, that is what I DECIDED a safe transaction of rsgp-to-$ was worth.

Its a fraud people any way you cut it. It has to be manipulated to succeed long term. The only people that really benefit are jagex and the people buying bonds IRL to sell for gp. Sure if your 15 16 and you dont have a debt card then yea you can get your members/sof/sgs stuff after being ripped off 2 fold but that in itself is illegal (targeting and preying on little kids) lol

Implying that before bonds the rewards were judged great enough by you to RWIT?

Well congrats to you. Pathetic.

I'm confused.

The first quote you mentioned was made by Andrew Gower.

The second quote you mentioned was made by MMG.

Hope this helps.

Bought one for 7M now so GP prices are up to about $0.71 per million or about £0.43 per million. I am going to keep track of this to see how low bonds will go. The lower the bond price the higher the cost of buying GP too. Which will defeat the object since goldfarmers will easily be able to undercut it.
