Hey all,
When I first saw that bonds were introduced into OSRS, I thought "OH SWEET! Now I can buy membership with the gold that I bot!" Something that is interesting to not is that Jagex says that they introduced bonds to "fight the bots" and at first I thought they were just idiots. BUT, after having a few accounts banned recently I think that they might be on to something. The majority of people buying bonds for membership are going to be botters or high level chars who have a lot of gold or 12 year olds whos parents won't buy membership for them. I believe that buying bonds might flag you to be looked at under more scrutiny later. Just my $0.02
