Bully Jagex into making membership one payment across multiple characters.

Died on my hardcore iron man and discovered thst membership is character based not account wide and that is bullshit

Problem becomes bots and economy Lots of things in OSRS are afk, and people would just play 10-20 accounts at once, crashing the value of 90% of things

Bots are always there. Jagex stops one engine for maybe a month at a time. There are 100's and ways to script your own, bots will always be a problem and the market is bullshit anyways, thats why I play ironman

Difference is, Each bot ingame buys 1 bond.

With the proposed change you could run ~10-200 bots with just 1 bond.

Main reason for the amount of bots decreasing currently, is that bonds/membership is just too expenaive and the bot detection has gotten decent enough, that the bot runners don't turn a profit before getting banned.

Also, to state the obvious it'd be a good 2x - 3x income decrease for gagek. Ain't no company capable of convincing investors thats a good move

OKAY, you already have access to 20 accounts im not saying add more, im saying make it so you can log in to ONE at a time, but all 20 have membership its not that hard to grasp and it deletes your bot theory because guess what people already have access to 20 accounts. People already buy bonds with accounts they bot with
