Also looks like you can get Runefest tickets for 200-250M if you get in fast.

Benefits that have an affect on me...:
-No longer have to pay $10 at walmart for a 'quickie membership' for clanmates who just need it for a couple of days to last till payday
-Small money sink (have to add 1/10 ge value to make it tradable)
-Easy to reward people with stuff like spins/runecoins if they do something outstanding to help the clan.
-Able to buy solomons stuff/spin(not really lol) if im broke at a certain time period.

One major thing about this, people cant turn gp into irl money, i think that is where the line gets drawn

Spending irl money for gp is just wrong

The membership stuff etc that's all spot on but the gp and irl money oh dear

Yeah but then again as he said, a large portion of the players was already breaking the rules by buying GP from other sites. I have no issue with jagex doing this. Better have the money go to Jagex than some sweaty kid running a goldselling site to feed himself. A bunch of the players in the game is dumb enough to actually buy gp, so I'm sure they're loving this.


Idm tho, it seems like a cool thing, when I saw the vid I was hoping it was an announcement to make free trade disappear, way more entertaining and fun in this game without being able to xfer tons of cash/take donations from people if you know what I mean.

I've never purchased gold but it doesn't surprise me that half of RS has. part of me thinks this legitimizes the behavior of people who do buy gold and just gives them an alternative.

I can't see this putting a stop to gold farmers. Say bonds were worth 1m each by next week, Jagex are selling gp at £3/m. Gold farmers will just try to undercut them to give a better deal, and in order to make up for their losses will just set up even more bots.. I hope this doesn't happen though.

I am shocked to hear 50% of the community are RWTers though, although it is hardly surprising when you see people make new accs and they have like 300m in the first week..

I'm pretty sure Jagex is adjusting the price of the bonds to the price of gold farmers' gold so that no matter what you're gonna be able to get a somewhat cheaper and more safe way of buying the gp via jagex, because you're giving them money and you avoid any rulebreaking, the bond won't be player-ran which is good I guess :P

Good for people who can't afford P2P and don't wanna break rules, but if Jagex don't change the prices and bonds drop to like 1M I'd doubt anyone would buy bonds with IRL $$ just to sell for RSGP.

I guess it's pretty convenient for me since EB Games just closed a while ago and not like I'm desperately in need for RSGP so it could be more convenient for me. 12M for a month of P2P which you can easily make back just by merching in the GE within that month.
