such a good idea. id be willing to argue a yes with anyone. why?
+because people are already trading bonds
+people like myself can only use bonds to buy membership because of low income
+OSRS is better than RS3 and id also like to avoid playing rs3 forever :-3
+if F2p use ingame wealth it will increase economy and may influence future buyers of bonds/memberships

the only thing i can think that would be bad about bonds on osrs is:
+bonds may be higher in price than trading for rs3.

but apart from that its a big fat YES obviously.
and ive always felt osrs needs perm F2P.

-i wont reply to this post so PM me if you think im wrong ;) OSRS Player from the beginning! :D

I agree but even if there is no bonds , this kind of players will still buy gold from gold sellers to archive their 99's

So bonds or no bonds at the end it will not make a difference :|

Yes, but buying from the gold sellers is against the rules and could mean that your account will be permanently banned.


Even if it's against the rules there is still massive players that buy from gold sellers, there will be always players that don't follow the rules

And jagex will never bann every player that bought gold from gold sellers,
and if they do , runescape will lose 25% of his players or maybe more

And i also don't think that RS2 has the same anti bot/gold sellers system as RS3 has
Look only the weekend , when the mods that bann's bots are not here there game is full of bots
So i don't think that they have a system to check the transactions that players do

gold exchange between rs3 and rs2 is also against the rules , but 25% or more of the players are doing it , they change gold between the 2 games so they can buy bonds

They can't do anything about that...

The only way to stop that is with bonds or with trade limit

And your relevant point is?

I honestly don't believe that a QUARTER or more of our playerbase ( excluding bots ) is involved in RWT.

They don't and that's not a good reason to make gold buying legal.

Gold exchanging is NOT against the rules, but is not without risk, 25% of the players once did it, doesn't mean they still do and they had a different figure for the amount of players that subscribes using bonds, 8%.

They can easily do something against it and start enforcing their rules more strictly.

If that is not going to work, then I would rather have the trade limit back, solves many problems and does not create buyable gold and devalue other people's game.

I like the idea. Not sure why it's brought up so late. The game would've been a lot healthier if we started off with f2p servers in my opinion.

Hopefully the poll passes. I feel this is the only way this game can potentially grow.

Jagex is blatantly manipulating the community. I'm honestly dishearten and baffled.

Jagex is pushing mtx into osrs and the community is just giving in. What Jagex is doing is just so ******* scummy. Bonds alone would never ever pass a poll and they know that so they tie it with ftp. They're manipulating the community into voting for mtx. Their excuse is that ftp can't exist without bonds. That's a load of ******** and Mod Data can put his ******** graph away. Runescape has always thrived with ftp and osrs wouldn't be any different. It's really frustrating seeing the community just roll over.
For those basically saying osrs bonds are fine since we already have swapping: The issue is that the extent of rwt will be much greater with osrs bonds. That's what Jagex are gaining out of this, more people rwting. Swapping itself is already a big issue that has plagued osrs for a while. So, it's funny people sort of justifying an issue with another issue. In the survey 27% wanted swapping fixed without a poll and 21% wanted a fix polled. That being said, it's shocking seeing osrs bonds receive 90% support when nearly half the community acknowledged swapping is an issue. That's just a result of Jagex successfully manipulating the community. The whole mentality of it is just so backwards. They should be fixing swapping rather than making it worse.
Ruining game integrity with mtx for ftp isn't worth it. It's just paving the way to more mtx by making the community more accepting of them with bonds. In the long term ruining game integrity with mtx is more damaging than not having ftp in my opinion. Honestly ftp is even necessary. Osrs is growing quite well. This past month we've been peaking at around 29k-30k players. This time last year it was peaking at around 20k-23k players. That's with 70% bot reduction. This game isn't dying and ftp isn't going to bring back 200k players so stop acting like it. The whole change of opinion within the community is surprising. In a matter of we

A wee bit of pot/kettle we have going here. Guys remember that when it comes to discussion there will always be people that don't share your views... It's what make discussions so great. However let's not revert to name calling, or stirring the pot to illicit even worse retorts.
