Explain the difference.

rubbish goat

With prayers like "Eagle Eye" that increase 'My Ranged by 15%' does that mean it increases my Range by 15% of my Range level? Or does it increase my Range by 15% of my total Range bonus (My total range, My Ranged level plus the range provided by my equipment)?

Although only 2/3 are actually usable. Don't bother training on cockroaches, while they may be decent for cash, they're terrible for exp. Train on flesh crawlers (2nd Level in the Stronghold of Security) if your defense is less than 85, if it's above 85 then train on giant spiders (3rd Level in the Stronghold of Security).

Frank looks delicious.

Yeah, this really won't make sense unless you've watched Transformers 2... Otherwise Supernova > Our sun.

Banned for being clever.

I stopped reading there. To the OP: Did you, by chance, pick up your 'girlfriend' when she was advertising her services at the Grand Exchange?

I think they should get skill capes but maples? Why? It just means moving or making a whole bunch of new maple trees and if you do that were do you put them? ibxtoycat did not say maples should be F2P. ibxtoycat said that Skillcapes should be F2P in a similar manner to that of the maple logs; obtainable only in P2P, but usable in F2P.

This dog wins.

Enough of the violence!

I love the amount of thought put into this post. I simply love it.

Don't care about negative effects? Don't see any reasons why F2P should receive skillcapes? How about this: You should realize that there are actually very few (pure) F2P players with 99's, this update would mostly be aimed towards ex-P2P players with 99 skills. The players who will benefit most from this update will hardly be 'leechers', they will, for the most part, be ex-P2P players who have gone F2P for whatever reason.

So drop them. They have no actual function, their only use is for appearances. Keeping Random Event clothing is hardly necessary, it's a choice.

Unlike Barrows armor and Godswords, Skillcapes are objects that directly display that the user has achieved Level 99 in . It's not really that we want high level equipment, but more so that we want to display our achievements. Barrows armour shows that you have 70+ Defence (high by Jagex's standards) are enough money/luck to obtain relatively rare armour, compared to other things like rune. Godswords are the same showing that you have 75+ Attack and either have got a hilt somehow or made enough money to afford one. Both items are bad for training as there are better alternatives in almost every situation, and yet they are still worn by many as show off items, which also have decent stats in comparision to the rest of the armours in RuneScape. Skillcapes are exactly like this, they show you have achieved something and are high level. They give good bonuses and yet in almost every situation you could use another cape instead (fire, accumalator, god cape) for better bonuses in whatever skill you may be training. They are basically a show off item, just like the four godswords and six Barrows armour sets are. Suggesting that F2P get skillcapes, which are high level P2P content, is just as bad as suggesting that F2P get access to Barrows or God Wars, which are both high level P2P content. If you want to get a skillcape, become a member. Jagex made them P2P only for a reason, and changing their mind now would be a terrible decision for both the RuneScape community, and Jagex themselves. Backtracking on what you've opposed the last few years and starting to support it is almost as ridiculous as the idea that was suggested pre-december 2007 that Jagex start selling RuneScape gold themselves, to counter RWT. I see your point, however our discussion is getting a bit too long, as this thread is for "Why can't F2P have?" not debating what F2P should and should not have. Feel free to continue the debate in the "Should F2P have Skillcapes?" thread.

7/10 Keep it up!

Agreed, however I still think that skillcapes should be F2P. Past that I think that F2P won't need anymore updates. (However I'm sure that magic loving pvp players will care to argue differently)

Alright, fair enough, however this thread isn't about that. It's about F2P players just saying what they want. The things in this thread shouldn't even be taken seriously, it's almost like a whimsical version of a F2P rant. What you're doing is, in a sense, trolling. The context of this thread is quite clear, however you insist on posting comments like this.

Full of monsters, empty of players?

All my P2P stats, all '1'.

Jaws of Life to the rescue!
