I would like to ask the community; Do you think account that using bond for membership have a higher ban rate than those who paid via card etc.??
I have found by doing the odd quest here and there.. and by actually paying JAGEX via card, my ban rate have always been extremely low.. and that's botting for considerable hour a day.
Does trading GP for BONDS then on-wards to fresher accounts, increase ban rates?? for both account? does this raise suspicion of gold farms - multiple accounts?
What's your thoughts?

It could flag them, who knows. Although I don't think it should as that has nothing to do with botting.

EDIT: Just lost a few accounts LOL. I'm pretty sure one of my accounts was getting a lot of reports.
Been running multiple 0 xp gold farmers 24/7 for over a month now with bonds and no bans. Either they don't care or they're waiting to ban them.

I don't see the logic behind bonds being a form of bot detection for Jagex.
I don't think that bonds themselves flag accounts, rather that when they come from a watched account, or the account is continuously dolling out bonds is what may flag them. I buy them through buying GP or transferring GP form one of my mules, so I never directly trade bonds. My bans are relatively low and I bot using private scripts and a few Tribot scripts without issue.
a bond is simply a way for players who have gp or work for gp get to use it for membership. I see no issues with anyone being banned because we recieved gp to use it for membership if the company enabled it in the first place.

a bond is probably less suspicious because it doesn't link your accounts with a payment method

I wouldn't have thought it would make any difference but perhaps Jagex value a continued subscription more.
At the end of the day, if you get caught botting you will be banned - bonds or no bonds!
