After all the time Bonds has been in the game, I still don't have a strong opinion on whether it helped or hurt the game. One thing is clear, that the player no longer needs to grind his time and save for some rare gear, when he can sell a few bonds, and after buying the desired item continue his goals, and be happier because he saved some time.
So the whole point is that it is not worthwhile to be afraid of losing "game money" at the moment. Instead, you should invest in the content itself - quests, skills, diaries, etc. Because of that, I'm just glad that I don't have to think too much about saving money forever like in long past and just spend more time on the content I want.
We don't all have $60,000 to spend on OSRS Bonds, so most of us have to grind gp to play OSRS, especially those who use OSRS gp to buy membership. OSRS need MTX to survive, so it is not even a matter if Bond is good or bad IRL to OSRS. Bond is bad wrt pay to win but it is a necessity for the game to stay survive IRL especially now when the in game economy is dead.
I don't know how many players have an issue of losing "game money" but apparently it is a big thing to some of the most influential ones, otherwise OSRS shouldn't be forced to keep all those selected items like tbows at highest prices in the expense of other items.
For the have-nots, they don't have the problem of losing "game money". However, they also don't have the luxury to waste time on gaining nothing with "newer" content and "bis" items when in reality they are far worse ways to gain gp than going back to legacy content like CoX for the tbows and such at guaranteed high prices.
OSRS doesn't run a communist economy. OSRS can't force brain surgeons to pick flax and mine rune essence. Not everybody in OSRS get the same gp/hr and obtain the same items. OSRS is doomed.
