Anybody who cares about the future of 07 does not want bonds it's obvious that it will not benefit us in any way. Why hasn't transferring gold been banned? All it does is let Eoc hurt our game because it's going nowhere in a hurry and they're bringing us down with them we need to be fully separated from them because all they do is hurt us with crap like this.

Anybody who is for bonds either is unaware of how exactly it's hurting 07 and think its just helping people who cant afford membership or has the stupid logic of "oh people already gold farm and bot might as well make it legal" without thinking maybe we should ban money transfers so that this isn't as big of a problem? Yes i'm aware you can never stop bots and gold farmers and, but encouraging it is not a solution it wont benefit Jagex in any way like they claim it will because you better believe you will lose some customers from this because as soon as this passes people will lose faith in 07 being kept pure, just considering bonds to be put in has already damaged our faith.

"B-b-but this will legalise RWT xDDDDDD"

Jesus christ you guys need to get over yourselves "RWT" is done by definition a third party, so you're not just subjectively wrong but objectively.

What is real-world trading?

Real-world trading is the term used for
activities which occur outside of the game environment which result in the real-world sale or purchase of items**** or services with the intention of supplying or advancing a Jagex in-game character other than by the means which are incorporated into the game.


This includes, but is not limited to: purchasing gold or items for RuneScape on 3rd party websites, buying a RuneScape account on 3rd party websites, paying someone to increase your account's experience (XP) and paying someone to complete quests and activities on your behalf.

I just happened to have this copied to reply to someone else.

Note that sale or purchase of items**** or services outside of the game environment breaks this rule. There is not (nor should there be) an exception written into the rule for Jagex. If bonds were sold in game (not sure in RS3, but they are sold on the website, outside of the game), you could claim that because you never go outside the game, it's legal.

But then you could claim if you meet a gold farmer in the game, give him credit card information in exchange for gold, it's all in the game too.

In the end, the issue is that any time you spend real life cash, you're dealing with something outside of the game environment.

Now, can Jagex break their own rules? Yes, look, they have. That doesn't make it good for the players or the game.

Some people just like to bash an idea that was asked for by many players without any clear evidence.
SHOULD bonds pass, make sure that no bonus features are given to the bond in the future besides membership so no squeal and anything of the like.
Bond is a legitimate update for players that do not have the money to pay for membership so yes it is a viable update.

Again, the question comes up, though.

If you need bonds for membership, and OSRS requires membership, how are you getting the first OSRS bond?

You need membership to play OSRS.

You need a bond for membership.

You need membership to play OSRS.

You need a bond for membership.

Not to mention the number of people who have access to internet while at the same time having an entertainment budget of less than an RS subscription is so small that you're very unlikely to actually see returns on bonds.

Full support. What people are worried about happening already happens. People can either pay money to a third party to get their gold (and risk getting banned) or pay their money to Jagex to get bonds on RS3, before transferring the money over to OSRS (and risk getting scammed). A lot of people would vote no to this based off a fear of something that is already in the game.

Bond in Old School runescape would be great. Think about the amount of players who are not able to pay the amount of In Real Life cash for this game, bonds are a great opportunity to get more players in this game. People who love playing old school would love this to happen, think about the world wide connection and not the money the companies earnings for once. There will be more and more players and this will possible lead to more players for runescape in generall :)
