I'll be voting yes to this poll. I sure hope it passes, despite the ridiculous amount of people who are being completely ignorant to the fact that gold buying/selling is and has always been a fact of life in Runescape. The big difference now is that instead of some gold seller lining their pockets, Jagex gets to stay in business and a player who legitimately makes gold on their own can fund their membership with their in game money making skills.
Despite not being f2p in about 10 years, I remember very well my days playing in it. I also remember the many friends I played RS with who either didn't have the money to pay for membership or would just rather play as a f2per. The introduction of bonds could help me bring those friends back to the game and could also give the people who don't have the money to spend on the game an opportunity to get membership through hard work in-game.
I may be nostalgic for the oldschool feel of RuneScape, but I'm not ignorant to what could be the most important update OSRS has ever proposed. Here's to hoping this poll passes.
