No support.

OSRS is now partly Pay to Win game, I don't want it to become even more dependant on IRL wealth. "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."
-Jagex rule on RWT in 2012

I'm really happy with the opportunity to be able to play oldschool runescape. I think you guys are doing a great job with it so far. I think that should be said first.

As far as bonds go for oldschool, I'll have to end my support there. I'd rather bonds, and any other form of micro payment types to stay as far as possible from oldschool. The biggest reason I switched from rs3 to oldschool is because rs3 felt bombarded with micro payment options and people taking advantage of them. I don't want to see my, and other people's, second chance at having a great game to play ruined by something such as this.

Oldschool has really revitalized my love for this game, and it would be a shame to see that taken away again.

Support bonds only if they're used for membership, not at all if they can be used to gain in-game wealth.

Im saying "No" to Bonds in Old School RuneScape, to me this would be the first step to putting Microtransactions in there after you promised you Wouldn't!

You do not understand bonds at all my friend....at some point someone buys the bond with real life money, then sell it for in game gold, so jagex is still getting their membership money. This is why it wouldn't work to have an npc just sell a bond for in game money. I'm saying no to bonds, it's just something the oldschool economy cannot handle, it's too young.
