Jagex maintaining the game with bonds is so vastly different from the gold sellers with armies of bots. It's incredibly disingenuous to frame this like Jagex is abusing these poor souls for profit.
Believe it or not, armies of bots ARE bad for the game. Are bonds the best? No, but at least Jagex had all the economy data to work with them.
Good
