Mod reach posted a while back that the GP could be kept on RS3

The way he was explaining it, it would be like:

Player RS3 buys bond
Player RS3 sells bond on GE
Player OSRS buys a bond for OSRS gp from an NPC
Player RS3 gets the RS3 GP, Player OSRS GP is removed from the game in exchange for an untradable bond

Is this out of the cards then..? because he seemed pretty hopeful that something like this was possible.. Obviously it would need a fixed OSRS>RS3 gp rate, but I don't see why something like this couldn't work, with some work?

Support of this, I would not support it if OSRS became Pay to win.

The NPC could allow trading of only bonds from RS3/OSRS, call him 'Thenames Bond' or something - When the bond is purchased from the NPC for OSRS GP, the bond is removed from the GE in the main game (mid price).

Although there'd be a slight GP injection into RS3, it could be viable with a few tweaks and it'd mean OSRS players could buy Membership/RF tickets/Name changes, Jagex still makes money and there's no OSRS pay to win.

seems quite a lot of people just say no after seeing its bonds without further thinking
I agree introduce bonds that can be paid with real life money will lead to pay2win, which probably most dont want to see.
however, bonds also help people who cant/dont have much money in real life to be able to purchase membership using in-game gp
If we can find a way which doesnt bring pay2win to osrs while jagex can do it, then it will be a very good addiction to osrs

Support.

Let's completely sever Old School Runescape from Runescape 3. Tbh, bonds are a big contributor to the money circulating in RS3 and why some people even log into RS3.

"Again, if this community wanted these we could do them, but we are pretty sure you don’t."

And I like how the Mods think they know what we want. Clearly, you don't. A lot of people would enjoy bonds in OSRS because it would take away the risk of scamming from these gold swapping clans. I know plenty of people who just swap money in order to obtain bonds. And I would too if there wasn't so much risk.

Bonds - Pay to Win - Rwt - Mtx - Economy unstable - Some more Mtx - Rwt continutes - Game population declines - Game revolves around experience/gp rather than fun with friends - Rip

Don't do this again, and I see a lot of people saying they want bonds. Do they even understand the effects they will have? The only good thing about them is that you'll be able to have an
EASIER
way to buy membership for OldSchool Runescape.

I say
EASIER
because you can already do it, just transfer some of your coins to Rs3 via a clan chat and buy a bond on there instead. Yes there's a slight risk that you will be scammed out of it but it's unlikely as there's a lot of legitimate clans that do transfer money. Just use the proper one. They wouldn't bother scamming for 600K.

Say no, and not just no but Hell NO to
Pay to Win

Seems good to me. Also, to those who don't know, a bond is an RS3 that has the potential to give you 2-weeks of membership. Two bonds equals a month of membership (28 days). People do this in OSRS in order to not spend real life money.

Honestly, if someone doesn't have enough money to play RS, their entertainment budget is likely so small that they don't have internet, anyway.

The number of people that would want membership and actually be unable to pay for it is likely so incredibly small that we shouldn't worry about it. We're talking about people who cannot go to a movie on their entertainment budget, but at the same time either have internet or access to public internet.

There's no way that could replace the people that would quit over bonds. Only a handful would have to.

What's more, to earn bonds on OSRS with cash, you'd have to ALREADY be a member, and you would never be able to let your membership slip for even a single day, so now we're talking about people who have internet access, so little money for entertainment that they can't see a movie every month, AND that can perpetuate membership only though buying bonds for in game gold.

We can likely draw more new members by changing the color of black armor by a shade or two.

There can be solutions to avoid Pay2Win. An NPC could be placed in OSRS and could sell bonds. But really, it's a player in RS3 that's selling a bond on the GE. The RS3 player gets money, but the OSRS money that was paid to the NPC goes "nowhere" technically. That way OSRS isn't affected. There's a quoted text box that's going around that explains it.
