Afaik pretty much every free game nowadays are coupled with MTX, and Jagex has tried to keep it out of the game as long as they could but the reality of the situation is that it is needed. People refer to the glory days when the game was free and without MTX but times have changed and that model isn't going to work. Except OSRS is not free and the paid members will still be effected by MTX. Microtransactions themselves are fine, but only if they are done correctly, which is something Jagex are not capable of.

You know what doesn't work? Subscription models, adding microtransactions to that just adds fuel to the fire.

Every big MMO I've read about also have ways to pay for membership with in-game wealth, basically their version of the bond.

Guys people are buying rs3 bonds and transfering the cash anyway? Why does it matter.... It just so jagex can take the money away from bots and benifit us. I feel some people are just stupid...

jagex has more money = we get more devs

I'm sure there are others that do have bonds, I'm not denying that, Jagex actually stole the bonds idea from another game (eve maybe?).. I don't really see what your reply has to do with my post..

Idiots... those who are saying no.
Bonds?
-Bigger team for osrs (more money to go around means more support).
-LESS RWT/ BOTS (there will be more competition and it will be harder for gold sellers to sell gold, and won't be as worth it to bot areas like yews, chinchompas, and do things such as sell stake rewards or profits from illegal activity).
- More updates, the reason this game isn't getting updates is it only peaks at 20k~ players, whilst rs3 peaks at over 60k (alone).
-Opportunity to pay for membership without needing real life money, some people are poor and when working a minimum wage job, $9 a month can be a lot, when coupled with things like rent, expenses, food, etc.
Cons?
-Game will be pay 2 win. This game has always been pay 2 win since gold was being sold, this won't change anything really, those who are rich can STILL buy gold and those who aren't probably won't.
-Can lead to other **** updates implemented for more **. They said they wouldn't implement other micro transactions and any big updates like that would require a VOTE. So guys, vote for bonds, so our poorer friends may save up in f2p to be members like our more fortunate friends.
Spread the love.

They said they will get a new staff member if they need it, bonds won't affect this.

So, the option to remove RWT is to legalize it? Yeah, no.

You're wrong, more income won't mean more updates unless Jagex gets a new staff member ( see above ).

That's true, but it is a choice to make for them, we shouldn't devalue the entire game just because a small minority has problems paying for membership.

''If you can't beat em, join em''. Not a good reason to add legal buyable gold.

Vote no.

We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape.
