You guys really don't understand. All these con's that you guys are coming up with are already a part of the game because gold transfer is allowed, If i wanted to I could buy bonds in eoc and sell them for gold then trade eoc gold for osgp. All this changes is I can avoid the clans that swap gold with terribly unfair rates, 1:7 os to eoc, 10:1 eoc to os. Basically you guys are voting no to keep the gold swap clans going. Not really, I say ban people for swapping.

Are you ******* kidding me? Are you really ready to lose even more players? I don't know what band of goat roping monkeys got into the heads of the Mods hat run old school, but this is an outright stupid plan.

Not just no, but hell no to your microtansactions. there is no where to spend all the gp in osrs now, why would you bring in more to further crash the economy?? Why don't you poll the fricken auction house and actually work on that instead of trying to squeeze what life the osrs community has left in it out.

The greedy corporate monster that is Jagex is what killed rs3 in the first place with bonds, and other buy here pay here options. You don't do **** to help the community with these updates, you do it to line your pockets with some kids parents credit card numbers. It's rope a dope in its best form, you have us looking at you because you say you are helping make it better, all the while sucking our bank accounts dry.

At least man up and be honest about what you are doing. You aren't here for our satisfaction, you are here for a check. And that's fine, that's the same reason I go to work too, but I wouldn't go to my job and ruin it just to get a temporary boost, because eventually, i wouldn't have a job to go to.... And I really don't see jagex being as big as you would like us to believe.. Not like you have much to fall back on, maybe Mod MMG could go back to cooking fries at burger king.. he seems more fit for that. :@

No support.

I would rather see trading RS3 gold for OSRS gold become a bannable offense and find other ways to combat RWT in OSRS. Swapping should not be allowed between the two versions of the game. Period.

However, I do sympathize with those who would like to buy bonds with in-game gold to pay for their subscriptions, but I think it's better to not have bonds due to players being able to pay their way to higher skill levels and items with real-world money.

Here here!

Put it to vote to make gold swapping illegal and reportable, since we're talking about it as part of bonds anyway.

No support. Bonds are something that should stay in RS3. Implement any type of micto-transactions into OSRS and I, and many others will quit.

This is a second chance for us. A chance to start over and get RuneScape right this time. Stay true to the roots, not the Squeal of Solomans crap that is forced down your throat every time you log into RS3.

Yep, add micro transactions to osrs… and I will quit….

Credit where credit is due, though. Thank you to the jmods for polling this, rather than putting it in and claiming it's to fight bots. Makes me feel safer that things that would induce rs3-esque changes will always be polled.

At the moment we are just seeing how the community feels about it. If it looks like you guys don't want it, we're not going to even poll it.

how can you be sure how the community feels about it if you don't poll it. it sounds to me like you have already decided on it, and just pretending to see how we feel.

Nope nope nope not happening, not today, not ever, hopefully bonds will never be in old school. I'd like to know why bonds would get to be in Old School but not the Grand Exchange?

What next..(if I'd be around for the next update after bonds..)

There is a far better way to "eliminate the risk that gold swapping brings". Simply make an automatic system to swap gold between the games, using NPC's in both games. You put the money into an NPC in OSRS, you withdraw it from the NPC in RS3 (less a cut). You put the money in in RS3, you take it out in OSRS (less a cut). With such a system there would be no need to have bonds in OSRS, and there is no need for swapping clans, and there is no scamming of people that want to swap.

My first choice has long been to make gold swapping illegal, and it definitely should have been, in the early days. If it isn't going to be illegal, it ought to be systematized, and the money should not go into the pockets of the scum that do it now.

To be honest, I'm OK with gold swapping at this point, so long as it is done by an automated system, and not by scum. Today the economy of OSRS is strong, and it can handle the swaps, unlike the early days, when it created severe economic disruptions.
