Buying gp?

So now it's possible to directly buy gp officially? The bonds are bought with real money (£3) then traded in-game for gp (determined by the GE Price). Am I understanding this correctly? 04ismailjj6 (talk) 15:36, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, you buy a Bond with real money, then find a player in-game who wants to buy the Bond from you for coins. IP83.101.44.209 (talk) 15:55, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

So how does this help combat inflation? The exchange rate is effectively 5M Gp for £1 and will probably increase. There are plenty of people willing to spend in excess of thousands of real pounds for in-game currency and tens of thousands more who will happily buy a few hundred pound to make a quick billion. They could easily pour more money into the game than the gold farming bots ever could. 04ismailjj6 (talk) 16:04, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Never mind, I misunderstood. 04ismailjj6 (talk) 16:10, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

I see controversy brewing on the horizon if it hasn't already... Extreme133 (talk) 17:05, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Eh, EVE Online has virtually the same thing with their PLEX, and that game is just fine. I personally support the concept of buying gold - it's silly for me to farm gold when I can spend the same time doing work in the real world, make real money, and just buy far more gold that I could have earned in that time.  Why force players to spend unhealthy amounts of time in game just to enjoy the best content?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.121.9.44 (talk) on 09:41, September 26, 2013.

Dollar

I've added a little part about Bonds actually being 33% more expensive. However I did the math with €, so I'm not 100% sure the $ price is correct. Could someone confirm/correct it for me?

Removed

I removed the part about it being the first item that doesn't stack in the bank. Atleast the clover necklaces share this attribute and I'm pretty sure several other items do too. --EscapeTheApe (talk) 17:49, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

There are probably over a hundred items that don't stack in the bank. Any item with charges or any kind of information stored in it. ^T_H^A_R^K_O^N 23:51, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

What is best price to choose when using bond?

So i just bought 1 bond in ge for 6.5m, witch is nothing compared to rewards u can get from that.... i dont care about 8 spins, but i want to know whats better to choose... 14 days of member or 160 runecoins ?

Its nice to see that we can finaly buy runecoins and membership with in game money, but that makes new problem... people can finaly buy rsgp with real money :) its not like they never could, but this is like buying drugs in real life legaly...

its kinda weird but i like it :)

so some simple math.... 200 runecoins is 400cents(4euros), so each runecoin is worth about 2 cents in euros... witch means 160 runecoins reward is worth 3.2 euros, afc if you want to buy your own bond from jagex its gonna cost 4.25euros, witch means u loose at least 1 euro like that...

can someone do the math on membership days reward ? :) --xAsmir 18:56, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

The problem here is that prices of membership do not only vary based on how much of it you buy at once, but also do they vary by country and by payment method, even if those countries or methods share the same currency. I have no idea why Jagex discriminates this way but that's how it is, meaning there is no one true answer to your question. ^T_H^A_R^K_O^N 23:55, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Baby troll

Has anyone tried feeding a bond to the baby troll? 70.99.104.234 13:37, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, just did that. You cannot feed it to a troll; the troll doesn't even reject it on its own, you get a custom message. MolMan 13:45, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

What did the message say?

Sorry, I had someone else do it and never got the exact message down. MolMan 16:48, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
