Those who sees the bonds in old school as "pay 2 win" are just silly.
I can't imagine old school bonds being as valuable as in the rs3.
(Just look at the current rs3 -> osrs gold swap rates DUH).
So if someone is actually willing to sell their bonds for only couple mills in osrs while giving the opportunity for others to pay their membership via in-game gold is not that bad of an idea.
And if some millionaire actually exists there and is trying to buy his/her bank by selling bonds is just stupid honestly. Who really cares? Only thing he/she is doing is giving the choice for players to pay their membership.

I played RuneScape for ten years, starting in 2004. I played F2P two years and then decided on a membership. I've been a member since. I worked endless hours to level (just like everyone else back then).
I ended up walking away. RuneScape rapidly turned into a game I no longer recognized. Players were thrown into a "brand new" game, even after countless forum discussions and protests regarding EOC and left to sink or swim, so to speak.
Further, the sense of purpose disappeared with the introduction of BONDS, as there was no longer any meaning to Highscores. Camaraderie waned as it wasn't important to rely on each other to learn how to skill and make money. This has always been a friendly, competitive game - but that was lost with BONDS.
When Oldschool RuneScape was reintroduced, it gave back the purpose to play again for many of us. Once again, many players have worked hard to level and skill and have earned the armor they are wearing. If you introduce BONDS, many of us will walk away again. There just isn't any friendly competition and without that the foundation based players will lose interest. You'll have F2P and PK-ing .. but the game will be changed. For good.
I would rather see continuing "trials" for F2P than accept BONDS into this, our "Oldschool" game.
And I have been playing for 26 years, what does that matter? Plus your hiscores doesn't show you've stuck to the game for long. Also, you do realize people have been buying Bonds on RS3 and transferring to Oldschool almost since day 1 right?
Adding Bonds on OS won't change anything, you have a false perspective on how the game has been for two years if you think everyone earned their own gold. How do you think people got maxed on here in like 6 months?
Tbh the only truly fair and competitive hiscores now is Ironman, have you considered trying that? As far as this being a challenging "Oldschool" RS we now have the GE coming.
