yea i know what everyone is saying.. the only fact that skill capes are considered noob, is that the only hard thing about obtaining the 99 in a skill like fire making, cooking or fletching, is trying not to get sore fingers from clicking so much. but what really seperates and skill? cooking is easy because you have an easy and kinda quick way. mining is easy enough too. its not hard, just very, very long and tedious (ask Lady Shahdie about that one haha ;p). its just a bunch of clicking and having a good amount of patience. i have 99 wc myself, and i am very happy with it. people have mixed emotions about it... they either say "wc is noob... its not hard.. its easy to get" (when i dont see them with it), or my fave response, "wow! i love the cape!!! that must have been hard to get! you are my master!" lol... but really, in actual fact they are both right... no skill is *hard* just very long to gain xp... and the other guy, hes is right, because i am his master. lol!!!!!!!! the thing about it is, i probably did do it the *hardest* way. from level 75 woodcutting, i wced mages, and only mage trees, until 99. but then again, it was only very long... and lots of clicking... it took about 5 months to get.. but best profit.. so you never know what they have done to get it, or what they have been through, unless you ask. otherwise, thats just unfair, and your making the runescape community a little more shaken. i too thought about, while being non mem for the time being, to buy some maples, and get 99 firemaking... i burnt about 6k... and gave up. as i say again, its not hard, just long... dont have the patience anymore... so remember, you might see somone skilling to 99, and you may not like it. but for some, they find enjoyment in it. if they want the cape, atleast give them the satisfaction of owning one... atleast until you own them in PvP with it on and they lose it hehe sneaky devil ;P so if you see somone skilling, say to them if you dont like it "hey you know, i hate skillers.. but your doing a mighty fine job there. keep up the good work, and i hope you succeed in what ever your trying to accomplish." and if you dont care about skillers, just say "gl wit it buddy ;P" have a good one guys... and be nice hehe ;P
