Sorry to disappoint some of you, but micro-transactions already exist in osrs considering there are bonds in rs3 and rs3/osrs exchange is legal.


So instead of encouraging RWT further, exchange between OSRS and EvOC should be banned.

The fact something bad already exists is not an excuse to promote it further. You should be tackling the problem and try to get rid of it.

Seriously? We're considering bonds? Bonds were one of the worst updates of all time. It's no fun at all playing a game knowing that people can buy success with real world cash. Why should I slave away for a week to make 2m when I can just buy it with real world cash? If you're not a high level and have middle class wealth in real life, it will definitely be easier just to buy bonds for cash than to actually play the game.

This is a fantasy game. We don't want to be thinking about our bank account and marketing gimmicks all the time. We play this game to relax and get away from it all.

Don't try to innocently group bonds together with a Runefest promotion update. OSRS players don't play RS3 and therefore don't care about Runefest.

Right now it's already bad enough that people can buy bonds in RS3, sell them for GP and then trade it for Old School GP. Thankfully there are scammers to discourage people from doing this though. Bonds would be much, much worse because there would be no risk. Just instant GP that's worth it for any non-high level player.

If you release bonds that you can buy with real world cash to get cash in OSRS, I will quit RS.

Allow me to further elaborate on how much I don't want bonds:

I would five times rather have an EOC-esque combat system in Old School than bonds. I'm not joking. I, and I'm sure many others of your already shrinking community, will quit the game if bonds come out. Do you think anyone would quit over you not putting bonds in the game? No. Sorry to be so blunt about my opinion.

Thats why they wanted the ge update.They needed a sure fire way to trade and sell bonds easier.
Don't fall for this Bs Guys.When it polls vote NO for the greater good of the old school community.

...Ehhhhh no bonds in oldschool.

This game is about the climb to success, not just being able to afford flashy armor with the purchase of in game gold. Oldschool is great because of how rewarding it is to acquire in-game items and currency. We shouldn't have that taken away.

Remember....people with botting accounts get to vote in all these polls, too....perhaps that is why so many results reinforce the idea of "Yeah, change the game to make it easier for us to make money!"
