that would not fix botting
#Bonds should be removed from the game and sold at fixed rates in a new bond shop

botters would actually benefit because there would be a bigger demand for gold from 3rd party websites
so they'd be making more money and thus investing in more bots
boreal temple
probably yeah

its 2025. being realistic. anti fraud card detection system and better botting ban detectors anyone??
btw we should definitely have bundle membership deals for jagex launcher alts
boreal temple
ok do you have a counterpoint to what we said or
tall nexus
agreed to disagreed.
boreal temple
good talk
tall nexus
👍
why are bonds on the GE then? why do botters buy bonds??
sounds like you enjoy mtx too much
boreal temple
because its cheaper. if bonds are not on the GE anymore they will need to spend more money on membership. which means price for gold will go up but people will buy it all the same
lavish ether
this is a bad suggestion because the fundamental point of bonds is to make money for jagex
tall nexus
people would pay membership anyway tho?
lavish ether
"why do botters buy bonds" how do you know this
tall nexus
why advocate for alternative buying gp methods and fraud cards to get membership to bot then to counter my suggestion?
lavish ether
"bonds should be removed from the game" is a reasonable view, "and sold at fixed rates in a new bond shop" is not
tall nexus
you act like buying membership on debit is thee only way to things when its not. even if im guessing hmmm maybe they might be using bonds.. How do You know they arent???
explain how rs2 never had bonds too. times change. unnecessary mtx
lavish ether
i'm not even arguing against removing bonds from the game, i'm saying that giving membership in exchange for deleting an arbitrary amount of gold is not a viable business model
slender scaffold
is there a reasoning behind the 200-300M number or did you just pick an arbitrarily high number so nobody would buy them because you want to remove bonds entirely?
I doubt they have grand exchange history beyond a certain amount of items to give back the original gp value, and where do you think this gp would be coming from? out of players pockets? you can't just pump gold into the game expecting the value to stay the same, the gold that was given to the bond seller has been used / transferred through different hands, are you expecting them to trace that back too to take the gold away from those players?
