The Get Bond button is a interactive button that was applied to the currency pouch interface in the popular online MMORPG Runescape (also known by "Runescape 3" to some). It quickly came under criticism shortly after implementation mainly on the subreddit /r/Runescape.
Origin
On November 29th 2016, a button labeled "Get Bond" was discovered under the currency pouch which could be used to buy a bond from nigh anywhere in game.[1] Clicking on this button would allow the player the option of purchasing a bond for the current Grand Exchange price, shown in gp in a popup confirmation box, plus a +5% premium and stated if possible the bond would be placed in the player's inventory upon purchase.
Spread
On November 29th 2016, shortly after the button was implemented and discovered by players it was met with displeasure and this quickly transported over to the subreddit /r/Runescape.[2] There, the front page grew inundated with various posts and images criticizing and making fun of how the button was unnecessary as there are various easy and simple ways to obtains bonds as is. Many of these posts also included various humorous representations of how this button was/could be appearing in other parts of the game.
