Bonds are a good money sink, I guess. And since you basically concluded that more players will come and stay for the long term, i'll vote yes. But if that predicament doesn't come true, the community will have to say "you were wrong."
Why do you think bonds are a money sink?
The ingame gold will transfer from once account to another, no gold is being taken out of the economy at all.
All this does is give players an official way to buy gold ingame, currently if you buy gold ingame it's against the rules and rightfully so. However jagex are failing to enforce any punishment against it because they're gaining members (and therefore money) from it.
And this is why they want to introduce it with f2p, there will be a rise in players on osrs and more will be able to get and sustain membership.
Also they're worried players will cancel their membership, but I can't see why because most people are at a point ingame where they need membership to progress any further.
The bottom line is F2P will make osrs grow.
Jagex want more money, and bonds will get more money for them.
So if they make osrs grow & introduce bonds it'll be very profitable for them. RIP Forums
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

"Squeal of Fortune, Solomons Store, Treasure Hunter, Runecoins or any other sort of micro-transaction will not come to Old School unless you vote for it in a poll."
...That sentence went on about 8 words too many
If 75% or more of the community wants it, and it's not a bananas idea (like giving everybody max cash), the idea is to let the community have it. However, I highly doubt the community will ever want this, unless of course they offer to remove membership fees and replace said fees with MTX.

Ok, bottom line. They should poll BONDS separately, then see how they do!
Linking them to f2p seems slimy and manipulative
