bonds?

rofl

nuff sed

 

How Does It Work?

• Purchase: Player A purchases a Bond from the Billing Page with their credit card or PayPal account for real money. The bond can then be gifted, traded, or consumed.
• Gift/Trade: Player A and Player B agree a trade for the Bond - either as a gift, or in return for in-game resource or currency of any agreed value.
• Consume: Player B can then use that Bond for themselves and receive membership, spins or RuneCoins. Alternatively, they could re-trade it.

 

 

Copy/Paste from I post I made on another forum:

 

I'm a bit lost on how this hurts anything, or how memberships are so 'cheap' right now? (Just though a bit more, maybe I understand better now).

 

First of all, RWTers will just switch to trading bonds instead of gold, or gold prices will just adjust to fit. There is still a demand/supply for gold, I don't see how bonds will change any of that at all?

 

This seems to mostly just hurt membership trades, which don't even move close to as much GP as gold farmers/flippers.

 

From a $/days standpoint, bonds are more expensive for membership:

$5(Bond) / 14 Days = $0.3571/day of membership.

$7.95(Membership Card) / 30 Days = $0.265/day of membership.

 

However maybe (idk the prices) from a GP/Membership standpoint bonds are cheaper for players to buy legit from each other and then redeem themselves for membership.

 

 

Thanks a lot for tagging me    [MENTION=1904]masterBB[/MENTION]; that was nice of you 

I actually only deal with RS07 things right now, so this has no/little effect on me as far as I can see.

 

 

Edit:

Bonds are currently 12.3M, and cost $5 each.

So a cool way to think of it is that Jagex is essentially selling gold at $5/12.3M or $0.4065/M which is really high compared to average EoC gold prices of $0.28/M - $0.32/M.

 

So right now, as far as I see, based on bond prices in $ and gp it's better to go with a RWTer than Jagex.

 

 

Edit:

This seems to only be a win for people who are

1) Unable to use their IRL $ to buy membership

2) Don't know about/Are too scared to use RWT Forums/Black markets

And therefore buy/sell overpriced gold (in the form of bonds/GP) to exchange for membership.

 

If you can do math, and know bout any RS black market forums, you can see that as of right now RWT is way cheaper.

This is effectively selling gold. Player A purchases a bond, then sells to player B for items/gold....

lol good point guess they didn't think this true it's just another easy way for people to sell members lmao

soon jagex pmods and jmods will have gold shops on the forums 

Winning  

I think this will be good in the end

I think primary purpose of Jagex employees is to sell gold for money, increasing their revenue. Marketing this as "fighting with goldfarmers". This is why they are so active banning bots now - want to clean the space before selling membership bonds.

 

The question is if they will be satisfied with earnings increased and stop fighting bots, or no.

How on EARTH will this "destroy" gold farming?

its not, the video was to help confuse there loyal followers into thinking they're doing the right thing, so when people complain about it, the followers can be like HERR DERRR BOTS BADD JAGEX MAKE BOT STOP.... errrr derrr
