The Observer Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Money is the root of all evil. :| That's where many arguements like these stem from. Anyway, I don't feel F2P should get skillcapes anymore. I'd rather get wilderness capes to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulthresher Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 No. They don't pay for the game so they don't get all the benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reversal Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 No. They don't pay for the game so they don't get all the benefits. Fine I'll be willing to pay $0.10 a month for the ability to wear a skill cape. Out of all the features letting f2p players wear skill capes would hardly cause any effect to the p2p world. Besides Almost all non-combat skills in f2p are useless to train to 99 anyway. Personally I would like one but it will make no difference to me as a f2p player. I would rather have 4 more bank spaces than a skill cape any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db29_yo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 lol get 99 in a skill u should be rewarded irregardles....i mean i got 99 att and str and i like the capes, i dont see why ppl shouldnt get rewarded for all the hard work, that dedication should be rewarded irregardless if u pay or not, and tat's just being selfish who ever said they dont pay coz skill capes are such a small percentage of the benefits that the argument u said is just irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chariot Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 This might be a little off topic, but it seems to me that if a free player trained any skill to 99, they wouldn't have the bank space for the cape and hood. Anyways, i support skill capes for f2p because every single stat is harder to train in f2p then members. And any one who can train one skill long enough to get over 13 million xp deserves the chance to show that off. "One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws.

Pureodoom1 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 This question cannot be anwsered without being biased. People from f2p believe they deserve while p2pers believe that's what they've paid for and you don't deserve to be equal to them within the mind of Jagex. As for myself, I believe f2p doesn't deserve nor have the right to order that they get these things. Retired from Runescape as of June 1, 2007.Visit my guide on internet conduct and abbreviations!

There's just as many F2P saying 'Nah we don't deserve the skillcape' as there is P2P saying 'Give em the damn cape!' And it's not a campaign to give F2P the cape, its a debate.

RayOxide Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Well, no. I think they should be able to buy a ring that blasts out a hologrammic image of the selected skill. =) I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walka92 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 whilst alot of ppl say that skills are harder in f2p, most are, but wc and fm are pretty much same...ewxcept p2p has d axe and higher logs, but most use willow logs or rune axes, both of which f2p can get but still give them the capes! if u get 99 in a skill u deserve a cape nomatter what I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume that you "deserve" something. You don't deserve it. The only things you may deserve are justice and basic human rights, and RS is not in there. Skill capes definitely are not in there. So if JagEx has decided that they think Skill Capes are members, either pony up the 5 bucks or quit your pathetic whining. So you got 99 f2p. Great, your a dedicated hard working person. You can fell all warm and fuzzy inside now. But if you want to be an arrogant person who shows off their l33t skills, pay 5 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE03 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 There is absolutely no valid reason why f2p should not get the capes. It is a cape for getting 99 in a skill, it serves no other purpose other than being a reward for reaching lv 99 so why not?

kunasako Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Considering just the sheer rarity of pure f2p 99's, i don't think its too much to ask.
