It's either Jagex sell gold or the gold farmers do it. I'd much rather Jagex do it as they can control it.

This. Many games have hybrid systems, P2P with a cash shop, it's not like they're being sneaky bastards. If there is money to be made with other benefits such as hurting gold farmers then why not? They're not forcing anyone to buy it, it's an option which is already taken by players unofficially, why not hurt gold farmers and make it more official? They're not introducing a new market, the market already exists.
Btw, is the 30k online 07 and EoC combined? So 15k EoC players?

they are just going to undercut eachother until gp is literally worthless.

I personally think its a bad idea because now the price of membership is directly linked to bonds which cost around 10mill, so technically speaking I could do Bandos runs or another method that gets me 1mil per hour and easily. Just about any player can now pay for there membership without actually paying for it. It devalues the price of membership and also Gold farmers could easily sell bonds now at cheaper then rs prices. Still I think bonds are a step in the right direction. :>

As someone who has spent years of hard-work maxing my account without buying gold I am sad. The bond update devalues my achievement and makes the game much easier for those with real world money. I abyss runecrafted 38m xp for monies to buy all the buyable skills. Sheesh how many hours that was! Now I could just get a job at Tesco for a week and buy the GPs. :(

This has always been true though, just because Jagex are doing it now, there has been Goldfarming for ever since I started playing this game 9 or 10 years ago, if anything jagex are making it more expensive to get the gold. If you want to play the game without buying GP no one is forcing you, it shouldn't take anything away from your sense of achievement just because the way other people play the game. :)
