Don't see how it's a stupid update. Most people do this anyways using 3rd party websites, all this does is reduce scamming.

I lol'd at team meows post. 

 

"Bonds may be purchased via our website's Billing Page. They cost $5/£3/€4.25 per Bond and can be redeemed in exchange for 14 days membership, 8 spins or 160 RuneCoins."

 

Buying it the way everyone has been doing it is still cheaper lol.

Unless us gold farmers jack up the value of the bond

i support this kind of corruption because its cheaper.. i mean im a loyal trustworthy and honest guy but i mean jagex is worth millions billions from us and they always fuck us over lol makes me think they think like obama but in game rules

 

Over the years they just continue to contradict themselves more and more.

 

Next they'll be creating their own botting site.

 

And start selling gold to their own players (if they don't already)

How much money in bonds would be like. 30 day membs?

So is this bullshit going to effect 07?

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.

I really like this detail explanation. thanks.

 

 

I love you so much. Any post you make is complete with grumpycat clapping. 

 

I luv u. Liek RAWRRWAAARRRWWARRAARRWWAAAWRR

By the way- it occurs to me that players can swap 07->Eoc and buy bonds real easy.. isn't the ratio like 16:1 eoc to 07?

still 1:12

I was talking to a jmod,

and there will be some sort of tax that will minimise bond merching..

and can you add to this post

that its 14 days membership per bond,

and 8 spins per bond?

ty

Didn't expect Jagex to stoop this low. :|

Pathetic update tbh
