Really disappointed with the content and dev blogs that have been coming out these last couple of weeks. Bounty Hunter and Artisan are failing miserably, which really isn't a surprise, but if you poll bonds all hope is lost for me. There are so many "No's" in this thread already, polling it would be a waste of a week and a waste of poll space that could be used to poll something we actually want.

It should never be about if someone is poor or not. Everyone should be equal in this game.

It bothers me that so many games do this now, along with micro-transactions. OSRS is a haven that should keep to its 'Old School' ethos.

yes yes everyone's equal,'murica is freedom. chill,it's capitalism.

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?

Why can't you accept? In other games you can do the same. You buy something in-game thing from the developer via cash,and you sell it for GP.

If you are poor it's not my problem.
Trash like you are part of the reason we don't want bonds. This is OSRS, the old game. If you want something easy, go play RS3 and buy bonds there.

bonds dont provide xp just cash. I don't play legacy because of its graphics.

Many skills can be 'bought' if you have the cash. Some examples are smithing, construction, crafting, fletching and firemaking.

Credit where credit is due, though. Thank you to the jmods for polling this, rather than putting it in and claiming it's to fight bots. Makes me feel safer that things that would induce rs3-esque changes will always be polled.

At the moment we are just seeing how the community feels about it. If it looks like you guys don't want it, we're not going to even poll it.

This is so true, however with all the recent failures Jagex have put on for us it doesn't come as a surprise that they want to implement micro-transactions into the game. They're probably thinking, "Wow, look at this untapped market of Spins and RuneCoins and Bonds. What a big profit that would make!" And then their eyes proceed to turn into dollar signs.

Dear Mat,

Im sorry but I am standing up to what's best for OSRS.. I say no bonds AT ALL! This is getting just ridiculous.. When the community said they wanted OSRS back, they said they wanted OSRS BACK, and not graphical version of OSRS with the ideas and plans of RS3 in mind... I totally agree with Awbit! Keep RS3 and OSRS separate and no micro-transactions. Im not being rude, but contribute something worth playing for in the game, and stop referring back to RS3 or EOC because this is OSRS. Like someone else had mentioned, I too am worried about OSRS now, because its almost like its heading in the direction that we DONT want. Keep OSRS to its roots, because OSRS is suppose to be nostalgic with a bit of spice in terms of new weapons and stuff. What we DON'T want is a nostalgic feeling of RS before going EOC then RS3... Yes a lot of what I said might not be completely related to bonds and funfest, and it doesn't need to be. I'm probably voicing the worries, concerns, and feelings of many people who might not want to speak out. RS3 is too easy, I like the more challenging raw feeling of OSRS.
