The problem with the theory that Jagex implemented the 5 effigy cap in order to stop people from getting massive amounts of xp is slightly flawed. You can stockpile way more experience than a full bank of effigies would ever allow you to get by camping at Soul Wars. To a lesser extent, you can also look at Vinesweeper and sqi'rk (sp?) juice. I feel more "proud" of maxing the skills I dislike than the skills I do enjoy. edit: No Yes Who does agree with the implementation even if you do support the decision? Yes you could stockpile zeal, but they were smart enough to limit the skills you could cash them in for to a select few, geared especially towards combat, and on top of that, they also set a reduced exchange rate slayer and prayer so that training those skills with soul wars ( even if one chose to hoard points over a long period of time ) would be far less efficient than just slaying, or using an altar. Those who camped for effigies, did so for a more efficient way of training skills,However this I did not support, as they miss the whole point of the skill itself. The effgies could be used for anything, to which most people would camp just to train skills they dislike. And feeling proud about maxing the skills you dislike is a good thing, It shows that you were willing to fight through it, regardless of the fact that you disliked it. That takes discipline, It's not a matter of efficiency. No matter how efficiently you obtained the effigies or afked Soul Wars, it all boils down to dumping massive amounts of experience in a very short time frame. It appears that Jagex's response for the cap is to stop people from gaining large amounts of xp in one day, which is pretty stupid since there is no way of knowing this unless you stalk someone or use a fansite's tracker. Why should Jagex care if I dumped my effigies for 20m xp in a day, or spread it out over a few months? The end result is the same, which is why so many people are ranting about this update: the cap is pointless. Ahh, touche. I myself don't understand how mass exp in a short time is a problem to jagex, I only don't support the actual training of a skill with nothing but effigies, but I suppose my two statements contradict one another...which now leaves me puzzled.
