ben331 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 F2P do need skillcapes - all teh F2P skill cape sellers should either be in the F2P area or accessible to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsocam Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 the only flaw with this is that there is a large macro problem in f2p. a majority of those capes would go to robots that existed for less than a month. most bots never make it to 99. they usually get banned. a f2p with a 99 is extrememly rare, so i think they deserve recognition. most of the either quit or become members after about lvl 70 (except me appearently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimm Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 i think they do because if a f2p get lv 99 in a skill they deserve some kind of reward for all the time they spend leveling it up. On the other hand i think getting the amount of money would be hard for a f2p player to get how much is a cape? i think they wer around 99k. some of us f2p arnt as poor as u think i hav got full sara and full rune g and got that money very easy. i am 100%f2p my bro said,"get a life" so i asked "where do i download that...98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

jimm Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think it would be better if there was a f2p master which sold you all the capes (if you have 99 in that skill). This would stop the need of portals, and f2p wandering in p2p areas. There woudn't be any "wandering" involved according to my suggestion: What if there was a portal that took you to the skill master to buy the cape. In F2P worlds you would not be able to leave the area or interact with anything besides the skill master. Thoughts? Yes but i still don't see the portals as neccessary, there are lots of skills. Only 7 are members only. That means there need to be a portal for: crafting, firemaking, cooking, fishing, woodcutting, attack, defence, strength, prayer, runecrafting, smithing, mining,hitpoints, magic and range. All these have different locations, with different people who say different things. That's going to take up a LOT of space. Something that jagex can not afford to do. jagex have now got a million mems and its 5 us $ a month so thats 5 million bucks a month i think they can afford it my bro said,"get a life" so i asked "where do i download that...98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!

Acero Frio Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have thought about this myself, being closer to a 99 skill on a f2p account than I am on my p2p account. My opinion is, yes, f2p should be able to get skill capes. I will be unable to get p2p on this f2p account I speak of, and I would like to have some recognition when I get that skill to 99.

Mazpot Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 They should get skill capes. Every single skill is alot harder to level in F2P because there are less yew trees for example, less mining sites, less fishing spots. Fishing especially must be painstakingly hard to get on F2P So yes they earned their 99 in a skill and very much deserve skill capes I attempted to launch a fart, only to have it get stuck between my cheeks.

kingmerik888 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 hell no, WE pay for the game, WE support jagex and WE are the ones who jagex listens to. THEY are free loaders THEY dont pay THEY shouldnt get anything, and be happy with what they have. Tis the great kingmerik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsuya Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I see no problem with it. But maybe a slightly downgraded version of the capes. Maybe without emotes or something. Then the f2ps will be happy and the anti-f2ps wont whine about it. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY are free loaders THEY dont pay THEY shouldnt get anything, and be happy with what they have. Perhaps one of the most ignorant things I have ever read. I am tired of the attitude that F2P deserves nothing but trash because they don't pay to play. What do you think would happen to runescape if Jagex removed f2p? There would be virtually no new members, as virtually everyone starts out f2p. If you just ran into an internet game, would you pay $5 just to see if it's good? I think that allowing the most dedicated skillers in the game to show off their 99s wouldn't hurt anyone. If nothing else, Jagex could move the f2p skill masters into the f2p world. In regard to the 2 posts above me, I would like to point out how much harder it would be to create capes that test whether you have ever been a member, and knock them down accordingly. It won't hurt Jagex at all to give f2p the 99 capes - no one becomes a member solely for the purpose of buying one. To repeat myself, the most dedicated skillers in the game should be able to show off their achievements (massively harder than getting 99s in p2p). Of course, Jagex would release a cabbage collecting skill before giving f2p the capes anyway so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2pers dont. Its simple as that. LIke i said earlier, they maybe earned, or deserve them. what they dont have is privilage.If they want to be members just for cape, then so be it. They will support the game for one month. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some?

Darthaler Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 A freeplayer who got 99 in a skill worked very hard, for me, his hard work is worth more than 5$. So therefore he deserves a skillcape. Plus, if jagex give skill capes to f2pers, then freeplayer will stay in the game for longer, because having a skill cape is also an achievement, a goal. The more a freeplayer stays in the game, the more jagex benefit, so I don't see the reason why they didn't gave the skillcapes to freeplayers. So many blogs like this one deserve to be seen...

Xanotex Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Yes. Getting a F2P 99 is harder than in members.. Cooking for example. We don't got sharks or monkfish and cooking gauntlets.. Crafting, no green d'hide bodys for us. Rc, Abyss? No. If the members really don't want them, then for me, they can make the f2p capes 198k. (2x99) Maybe the members will be more happy with that. ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaerehw14 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 No. One of the reasons Jagex does the things it does (such as keep items in the p2p worlds) is a market strategy. the benefit of keeping items p2p is to boost their overall profits, which in turn helps the general players by having better graphic updates, more servers, more jagex moderators answering queries, etc. so in the long run, its better for everyone if somethings are kept p2p, such as the capes, because it gives an insentive to the one person wanting that cape (they get the cape) and the general population (they get better customer support and a better game in general).

Arambul Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Do they deserve them? Yes. Should they be able to purchase them? No. Anyone with a 99 skill deserves some kind of recognition for their achievement. But if we give them those, then F2P'ers will start to ask for other things.

Perhaps not skillcapes like the P2P ones, but something else for their achievement? And before anyone asks, I have no idea what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
