Im not sure if anybody else had mentioned this, 64 page's is a lot.

why not add an extra npc into osrs that acts like the ge, slightly hard to explain.
1: rs3 player buys bond for irl cash
2: rs3 player puts bond in g.e
3: 07scape player goes to npc and buys bond for X amount
4: system exchanges the money over to rs3 gp at a set rate (lets say 1m 07-5m rs3)
5: rs3 player gains the exchanged gp
6: 07scape player gains an untradeable bond which they can use for membership
This keeps everyone happy, nobody can buy 07scape gp using bonds, jagex still receives money for the membership, 07scape players can use there hard earned gp to buy membership. rs3 players earn the gp they paid for through the bond.

Ill be honest, I had to read that twice. But that could really work. Best of both worlds sort of. OSRS players get membership, jagex gets money, RS3 players can get their gold. I'd vote for that. Back in my day Rune 2hs were 50k and scimis were 35k. Anything else is heresy.

I'd be happy with this, but unfortunately the J-Mods have already said that this is not feasible for 'technical reasons'.

I wonder if they need to revisit it, though, as it does seem to be a win-win situation.

There's so many people who are saying they will quit and all now just because Jagex are going to poll something people are asking for.

Many of you are just thinking about the people buying rs money for bonds but not thinking about the people buying bonds for rs money. I got around 200 days of member spread around 3 accounts, all through bonds. If bonds didn't exist I probably wouldn't have played the game for the amount of time I have, just because I can't afford to buy membership all the time for different reasons.

Being angry at the jagex mods is just stupid, they're trying their best to make the game as we want it. If bonds don't pass through polls there's no problem, right? If they pass it means you're a minority.

All of you know that swaping exists. I respect the ones who want to ban all the trading between games, I understand that you're against micro-transactions. The people who are against bonds but want safe-swapping should go into a room and think for a moment.

Think solutions instead of problems. Make it possible to only buy a limited amount of bonds so people can't buy 99 prayer, construction and other expensive skills in a day. If you don't want a player to be able to afford a fury because you don't then you should just play the game more, you'll learn to earn money quick later.

Thank you mods for doing a wonderful job, love you guys.

I vote no on bonds.

1. RWT will exist no matter what. Jagex offers $5 for 1m? Some website will offer $3.
2. Why pay $5 for 1m when you can buy a bot for $15 to make virtually an infinite amount of money?
3. Players should be aware of scamming gp trading clans. Find some way to warn players. Example: NPC in popular places yelling out warnings.
4. Ability to buy gp can influence in game item prices negatively, ruining the game for those who choose to play rs without paying extra.
5. You brought back Oldschool for a reason. Lets keep it oldschool Jagex. I and many others came back to Runescape to play OSRS.

Jagex, I understand where you come from in terms of adding new content to grow the game and increasing revenue, as I am a developer myself. But lets keep OSRS the game we loved and cherished from back in 2007. Isn't that the point of oldschool? I would love to see some more development put towards RS3 and not OSRS. That might be enough to bring me back to RS3.
