Ouchy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I think f2p do deserve a skill cape. Any getting to level 99 whether it be a f2p or p2p is an achievement, and it should be celebrated accordingly. But its not a matter of what we think, its a matter of what JAGeX think. They will probably never give in to f2p'ers. Why? So the selfish "noobs" (there! I said it! Ooo that felt good!) force us to pay them an over priced price of 5 bucks-9 in my country :x :-s I once worked out that JAGeX only needs to add another 6 npc to sell the skill capes to player. Just a few lines of coding. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodmanfood1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 no, if they played rs long enough to get a stat or two to 99 they should just go member... I don't like fun, it upsets me.-- Marilyn Manson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with NJEO3. People have the option to do what they want. Not every one wants to go to p2p, simply because they can't. Parents, cash etc. rule out the option to go to p2p for some.

whatisup618 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 OF COURSE THEY DO! F2per's were able to raise a skill to lvl 99 which in the first place is hard. And then it gets harder because they obviously dont have to easier ways to train a certain skills such as experiments for combat and d'hide for crafting. That in my eyes makes it more of an achievement. And for the people who say "NO we pay 5 dollars". Well its just a cape. Its not like your giving them more skills. Plus there are not a lot of f2pers with 99 skills. Maybe a solution could be to give the cape no stats?

halt957 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 gotta say, we members pay for everything we get. technically, f2p deserve nothing, because jagex gets nothing from them accept the possibility of them becoming a member because of the lack of benefits that being a member brings. so no, either pay the 5 dollars, or deal with the lack of capes. personally, i think f2p deserves nothing more than what they have and an occasional update (more than they are getting now, which, btw, is none). there should be no complaints from any f2per because they are not paying. i dont like the attitude that is given off at all. you give me updates so i have lots of entertainment and can enjoy this game more, and i give you nothing. sorta f2pers acting entitled. its bugged me for a while... :shame: notable drops: 1 ARMADYL HILT, 7 armadyl chestplates, 6 armadyl plateskirts, 4 armadyl helmets, 5 bandos tassets, 5 bandos hilts, 6 bandos boots (one solo from minion, another from ls ftl...), 2 sara swords, 2 steam staves, over 25 shardsBarrows: 1 dragon med, 1 verac helm, 1 verac skirt, 1 verac flail, 1 karil top, 1 dh plate, 1 ahrim's top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodkay Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 gotta say, we members pay for everything we get. technically, f2p deserve nothing, because jagex gets nothing from them... Well, no, that's not true. We have Ad's that generate a huge some of money. We contribute to the game more or less in the same fashion as you do, just not directly nor to such a scale. Also, this isn't us "complaining". This is us debating whether or not F2P should have skill capes, or some other form of recognition of having a 99 in a skill. So we're not begging for it in this thread, we don't think that we deserve nothing even though we don't pay Jagex directly, we don't act entitled to updates. Small rant :oops: : I hate all you anti F2P update people, you want to know why? You never, EVER change your argument! It's always about us not paying to play. God I hate that so much! Almost all the suggestions that I've seen for changes to the game that involve F2P have been flamed! For the same reason! And these changes even benefit the game, too; help out many players. But NO! You've gotta go bat [cabbage] insane about it because it involves us "free-loaders", us "poor people", us "lazy people"!!! Taking a Playstation 3 break.

pbpenguin5 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 This shouldn't even be debated. Skilling in members is 10x easier than free and if anything, you should get a different cape that looks even better. Try getting 99 mage without any high lvl spells or ancients or even high alching. 99 str with a rune skimmy are you kidding? that's 10x the work with no benefit.

time_wast0r Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes they should get capes, most of the F2P training spots are over crowded and the xp is pretty slow compared to P2P, just take the bonus's off, then members won't complain that F2P got something I'm P2P btw, so not "another F2Per crying for stuff they don't deserve" I'm at Karamja ranging lessers... if I don't kill him in time people run underneath my foe and steel my arrows. Why! Have some decency and let me finish off the monster and get my arrows that I earned you PIG! Otherwise i have to run out to grab my arrows, get hit, and go back.. and guess what!, by then they stole my lesser! BASTARD! 100% P2P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICutYews Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think they should get capes because getting any 99 f2p ro not u should still beable to show it off to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_de_Sable Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No, F2P should not. Members pay for the game, and get to enjoy benefits like this. You should be grateful that you have the emotes at all. [English translation needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodkay Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No, F2P should not. Members pay for the game, and get to enjoy benefits like this. You should be grateful that you have the emotes at all. Actually, members have the emotes too. We only get to watch. Still though, something to show off a 99 should be shared with the whole RS community, shouldn't it? I think everyone can agree on that. Sure members pay for stuff, but this is a different case, I'd say. This is people's hard work and dedication to a skill that we're talking about. Really now, if they released skill capes for F2P as well when they released them, how many P2Per's would complain? One or two "we pay, don't give F2P anything!!!" players, but that's all. I'm positive nearly everyone would have accepted it as normal. Taking a Playstation 3 break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooldude3910 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yes they do. To get a 99 in F2P is 10x more harder than in P2P. Try getting 99 prayer with Big Bones and no gilded altar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitoz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 No. Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legilgalad2 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 ^^ Nice imput. I think F2p should get acheivement capes as regardless of paying for the game getting a 99 in a skill is an amazing acheivement. Why can't the experienced F2p'rs show their hard work too? Woodcutting does not raise your combat level because most people do not play as yew trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noob_Sammich Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't see why not. It's called an "achievement cape" but members are the only one's who get them? F2P players "achieve" the same the members do, so why not give it to them? For those of you saying "just get members", think of the people who can't afford the membership. Membership isn't a bragging right, and I believe F2P should at the minimum get skill capes seeing is how Jagex doesn't update F2P nearly as much as they should. It just goes to show that, though there's an age requirement, there's no IQ requirement to play RS.Wait, my friend said he got a keylogger and lyke he coudln't type, so I assumed it messed up his hands?

highlanders Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Felt like f2p bashing =] Nothing difficult in paying 6 dollars a month. Either you're a brat, and your parents won't let you, in which case youre better off in f2p. Either you are amazingly poor, in which case you should sell your computer and go work instead of playing mmos. Either you like it in f2p then no point in having this conversation. Either for some reason you think subscribing is complicated and are avoiding it. Really, just pay the money and you'll get it.

Bloodkay Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Bah, you know what I really want to know? All "it's a benefit of members" aside, why not give F2P skill capes when they came out? I mean, does Jagex not view a 99 in F2P as an achievement? Taking a Playstation 3 break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X_Flippo_X Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm f2p myself, but I don't think we should get skill capes. Getting a 99 in f2p is hard (I know it) but a skill cape ain't that awesome. (They are overrated tbh) Jagex has to "lure" people to p2p to get capes :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaolin Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Why does every P2P consider real life money to be the one reason that you deserve everything? What about player value and contributions back into the Rune Scape community? I'm sure a lot of you F2P bashers have made several friends in F2P; they've kept you company when you had no one else to talk to, they've probably given a tip or two for training your skills, and above all, they've been your friend. Is that completely irrelevant to you? It's time to grow up and realize that money isn't the only form of value in this world. Another thing, you bashers act like being poor or being conservative with your money is a bad thing. A freaking computer is still a luxury for the world and paying for a game is even more so. To be honest, I'd much rather pay for a pizza and a good time with my friends than pay for a month of game that can cause antisocial behavior. It's not being stingy, it's called putting priority to what's important to you in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire post enrages me. How does not having the ability to pay 6$ a month make you a brat? If you are amazingly poor you should not be allowed to play games? That last part, "Really, just pay the money and you'll get it." You obviously dont understand the mindset of F2P'ers. Getting members ruin the status of pure F2P, which might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Next time you post on my thread, pull your head out of your [wagon] and think about what your saying. Also - Chaolin, could you please change the font to the normal color? Thanks a bunch mate :) I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames.
