Thanks to skillcapes, experience itself is now worth money, even for the most useless skills. Before skillcapes, people would (usually) only train skills because those skills were usefull, or started being usefull at a certain level. Cooking for example, these days all cooked fish are worth less then their uncooked variants, skillcapes are to blame here, because if cooking would make no money without skillcapes, people would jsut ignore skill, causing the demand for cooked fish to raise, and those prices would rise. However, with skill capes, people dont care much about the skill being usefull, they just want a cape. True there are other reasons for people to raise skills (without expecting profit), but in most cases the player would stop before hitting level 80, and thats not even 25% of the xp of 99. And there are more people training it aswell. I would rather see them gone and replaced by some other cape(s). But im afraid the skillcapes here to stay.
