This. Not having 99's is definetly nothing to be shamed of, almost visa versa, I find more 'noobier' the people who bore themselves to death just to get a pretty cape to show off. A 99 will come while playing, well I understand people who are almost there and want to grind the last levels but anyhow if getting a 99 is your goal, I'd suggest you get it in a skill that you like the most and what keeps you playing runescape or if you don't find anything interesting then.. why would you even be playing? <--- Noob who has been playing since 2003 and has no '99's
