No GF onlyRS said :

Because you have to pay 10% of its cost to make it tradeable, thus removing that much gold from the game.
you should learn how things work before criticizing that they don't
No they don't. They're suggesting we have the same bond system as RS3 which is:
- If you buy a bond (with real money) then you can sell it, it's tradable.
- If you buy a bond from another player it will be untradable. You can make it tradable by paying 10% of it's GE price. (However I don't see a situation were someone would want to buy their bond ingame and then sell it ingame)

Meaning that if someone buys a bond (with real money) they can sell it for full price because there is no tax on that item, therefor isn't a money sink.

It would appear that you should learn how things work before criticising that I don't understand how things work. RIP Forums

Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

The only way I want bonds is if they are untradeable and can only be bought by an NPC for a high price like 5-10mil. I really don't want you to be able to sell bonds that you purchased with real money. This way, you can pay for your membership if you want, and there is no pay-to-win aspect. This is a tough decision for me. I want F2P but not *2*. I don't want you to be able to buy bonds and sell them on the GE, because I don't want people to make millions instantly. In order for bonds to work they must be untradeable, and they can only be used for membership, no GP, SoF, Treasure Hunter, or any other MTX.

The issue is that bonds work because they sell GP, meaning if you don't want GP being sold then you don't want bonds. RIP Forums

Don't give me that ''people can already transfer'' excuse, because a lot of people are not willing to do that because of the risks.

The amount of people supporting this completely ridiculous idea disgusts me. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

jagex staff, from what I noticed in his last video of the old school you have not understood the rune subject is in decay but I will clarify for you WHAT have not yet realized,
first point
old upgrade plan school, the team develops the updates does not have a point or a focus coming tend to fail again
second point
updates that already existed in the past and which were adopted before the old players, such as: pray curses (split soul, turmoil), herb (super antifire, extremes, recovery spec, ovl), item (dragon claws, dragon Platebody, soul wars cape , divine spirit shield, 3rd staff, vesta, statius, morrigan, zuriel) quest (wgs, nomad, defender of Varrok, among others that I can not remember)
minigame (stealing creation, clans wars, soul wars, fist of Guthix) that were in the wilderness
3 third point
wild land without PK, chaos tunnel, minigames in wild land mentioned above, monster: R E V (imp, ork, ciclop, knight, dragon,)

this is some thing that my colleagues and I missed runescape that existed in 2009

a good game is not a given game, but well done
that does a client return to a restaurant and not the quality of care, but the food well cooked

People already buy bonds in rs3 sell the bonds for gp then transfer the gp from rs3 to old school. all this does is eliminate one step I dont understand why some people get so huffy puffy about pay to win when you can already do it.

As long as this is the only type of micro-transaction that ever comes to this game im fine with it seeing as people already do it anyways.

Ok, What?? Let me rephrase your comment:

People already bot, and then transfer gold from their mules to mains. All this does is make an official bot program. I don't understand why some people get so huffy puffy about bots when you can already do it.

How does that sound?

The integrity is not gone yet...unless 75% or more vote yes to bonds.

In which case, the game actually is still actually 'what the players want'...

Except Jagex has clouded the issue by sneaking in bonds with a f2p discussion.

If the update could somehow be made so that you could buy membership with bonds (using gold pieces), but preventing people from selling bonds to get gold, then I would be in favor.

It is the part about people selling bonds they bought with a credit card to get gold that I am most opposed to! The gold selling angle of Jagex and bonds is what I despise the most.
