Are staking FCs and Exchange clans still worth buying in to?

Just wondering. I used to be a host in an exchange clan (not going to name any names) as well as a very famous 07 staking fc.

I've quit runescape for a time period and came back, and was wondering if they are still worth buying in to?

Don't really want any FC owners/current hosts to post here because it is obviously going to be a biased opinion. I need people who exchange their gp, do these clans get a lot of trades? I need to people who bet on staking fcs on rs3, do people actually use these clans?

Thanks.

 

No. Both are discouraged in the community, and I foresee mechanics being changed to combat both.

 

Quite possibly. I saw the bond discussion posts. Staking for friends on 07 is illegal, not too long before they ban in rs3.

 

i dont think staking for friends is illegal saw a post about it on rs

 

Pretty sure staking fc's are dead now, same thing will happen to exchanging cc's.

 

staking rcs in rs3 are definitely still there, although I doubt theyre as popular as they were in 07. However, I think its a little too late to buy into a rs3 staking fc sine I'm sure there's a chance that may change. However, I'm still curious as to what current members of those fc think.

Actually I think exchange fcs may be here for a while and if there were one to invest, it may be that one. Jagex actually has said that they sorta like exchanging and don't discourage it at all. Of course things may change, but I see this change to be alot slower. So unless if theres like an automated exchange system, which I doubt, this may stay for a while
