Ampd Up Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 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

Just my $0.02 Could be a possibility I remember once I bought 20 bonds on 1 account whenever they first came out, a day later jagex refunded me all of my money back to my credit card and banned my account.
Polo Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I believe that it's safer to buy bonds on rs3 since it's not connected to 07
Lemons Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Bought a bond on an acc thats on day 15 of 24/7, no ban still.
Ampd Up Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Bought a bond on an acc thats on day 15 of 24/7, no ban still. This blows my mind. How are you 24/7ing lol What script are you using and do you just do the same skill that whole time?
Lemons Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 This blows my mind. How are you 24/7ing lol What script are you using and do you just do the same skill that whole time? Started with combat first 24 hours on f2p, then did 1 day of fishing, then did yews at GE until lvl 85 wc, bought a bond like 2-3 days ago and now 88wc. (The shit progress is due to the walk from Varrock recently hehe).

Eliot Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Maybe, though I sort of doubt. I bot long on both bonds and regular membership and never noticed a difference. 1
Sky Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 No. It only seems that way because they're are more instances and scenarios where people who use bonds get banned. I'd say people who use CC to pay don't get banned purely because they are more cautious because they are more than likely only paying for one account and bot way less and legit way more. 1
Vag Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Bonds are irrelevant with banrates. I've actually tested this out. Bought members with bond, fresh VPS.. Banned in 5 days using breaks. Bought member with dwbit card. About the same with fresh IP.
