Also, it looks like you guys need to have a bold statement in color on the first page that says: Bonds will only be usable for membership, not xp.

People seem to be pretty stupid.

I give my full support to this.
Honestly, there is no reason to say no to this because it's not actually generating gold and causing inflation, and the people who don't use it will not be affected.
In fact, if implemented in the same manner as in RS3, it provides a nice gold sink as well, thus increasing the value of a gold coin

Honestly, not everyone has hours to spend ingame, and the people who have jobs instead should have an equal opportunity to afford their goals.

Remember, this system already exists, it just involves trust trading.

After EOC and the microtransaction explosion occurred, I kept my account but didn't play the game. I eventually went to wow and payed for several months. Once oldschool launched, I was through with other games again.

I honestly think a better approach would be to double the cost of membership for OSRS and EOC and get rid of all microtransactions in both games.

All of that to say, as a continuous member since 2005, microtransactions in oldschool will be the final act for my my continuing membership.

While they lose £5 a month from your membership, they earn another £20 a month from someone else who buys a bond, a couple of spins and maybe a skin from Solomons. That's why the people who say they'll quit due to microtransactions are just wasting their breath - the money they bring in from microtransactions is at such a point that it's actually more beneficial to keep them and lose a few members.

I mean, that's how F2P games survive now, not to mention the whole mobile gaming market - the microtransactions within them, so evidently there is some worth there.

The problem is, many voters don't read these forum threads before voting and thus just look at the key word then quickly vote according to the connotation of the word.

You'll never get bonds above 60% let alone 75%.. Heck even the graphical updates failed this week simply because only 10% of the community has actually seen what you're planning to turn them into (at max)
