NO! Absolutely not. Bonds are micro-transactions and if bonds are introduced, there's no telling where the micro-transactions will stop!
This game should be based on skill, dedication, and hours spent playing...not on how much money you have!
All that will happen is those little pesky kids with rich parents will pay for everything they need and want and will be of higher level than those that spent countless hours dedicated to the game they enjoy!
Let those kids waste their money on RuneScape 3 and let the dedicated players earn their levels and money and play OldSchool for the enjoyment of the game.

I will vote "NO".

i will quit if this comes into the game i am a rsvet and i will be sad to say goodbye but thi is bullstuff pay for success should never be a option i mean alowing that why dont you just give people legal bots and fill everyone bank with 100k of all items and 200m xp in all skillz this is the dumbest idea you've had sence eoc,rs3,graphics update,loss of free trade and wildly.

i have stayed threw some stupid stuff but never left but no if you decide to kill our game with this so all the upidy well to do nerds who cant even play can just buy 99s 200m xps and to teir gear then ill just go play my gameboy pocket and why make it easy to move gold between games just ban any one who does it make it a rule and dont alow it.

it was you all who said the progress of you main acc wouldnt effect 07 and vice versa but if you alow and make it easy to move gold thats no longer the case and the fact that most gold on rs3 is boted currency an needs to be dumped from the game anyway doenst mean we wat it in 07 killing our prices our shark and ppots are worth something and thats how wee like it we dont want 1k sharks to be 100k and 1k ppots to be 25k we want a game with a thriveng econmy and comunity you put bonds and gold swap in youll kill your game for a final time

look at the loss of free trade and wildy form like 250k+players online at all times to 60k on a good day for like a hour then back to 45k players you do this and 07 count be like 2k players per hour and we wont be coming to rs3 because we left it to begin with due to its wow graphics,game style,poor econmy,and overloads of bots.

so if this does happen i bid you adue for ive had it for the last time i love runescape and jagex but thers just so much we can take we want rs the way it is thats why we wanted 0srs to begin with if we were ok with a subpar game with horrable graphics and button mash game play poor gold wealth we would have just stayed and even with legacy mode its not rs at all

I do not support bonds simply because it is completely the opposite of how oldschool should be played. I understand that it may be a lot of work but shouldnt people transferring gold from rs3 to osrs through bonds be banned? Wouldn't that be the best way to keep the integrity of osrs?

The fact you've even considered this is worrying. Also,

""The movement of gold between RuneScape and Old School via the gold swapping clans is well established and has been facilitating the use of bonds in Old School for a long time now. Bringing bonds directly into Old School will remove the risk that gold swapping clans bring.""

So essentially you can buy gold in oldschool runescape (via other players I know, that doesn't make it any better). And you guys are totally fine with this? You're totally fine with the fact we could buy gold in Runescape 3 and then transfer it to Oldschool. You don't think that ruins the game for people who don't want it to be about how much irl cash you have?

How about you ban any gold transferring between games, so this game is seperate from Runescape 3 and actually keeps its integrity. Disgrace, this sort of thing is why you guys have lost so many subscribers yet you're still so blind to it, do you learn?

Could you make a dual server trade post?
What this means is that OSRS players could click a trade booth type object and they would be prompted with players on RS3. Lets say someone on RS3 was selling a bond for 7m. OSRS money would be multiplied by a rate, let's say 7. So when you trade your 1m, it removes it from the game and gives 7m to the other player in RS3 for their bond. Make the bonds untradable in OSRS so they can't be utilized for selling.
Would something like this be possible? I know it would effect both the economies and you'd have to get the RS3 team to agree, but it's something worth considering.

Oh i remember the first time it was the year 2007 and Jagex decided to destroy their own game in efforts to stop real world trading.

By the magic of time it is 2007 once again, and now Jagex wants destroy their game by making it easier for real world trading.

Please tell me your bosses made you at least try to poll this to make them more money. You opposed this so much because you knew you didn't want to insult the 2007 community by polling this, right?

Thank God you're polling this. This game reeled me back to Jagex after Squealscape pushed me away. No, I do not want bonds anywhere near OSRS, and from skimming the thread I think there is considerable opposition to the idea.
