Should F2P get skill capes?

[NJE03]

You know. I decided to absolutly support this now.

 

 

 

Because if I ever get 99 in a skill and a cape I would be able to show off my emotes on f2p if capes were f2p also. :D

You already can do the emote on f2p if you have the cape. Just cannot obtain the cape itself.

[spikerkid]

How can that cape make your life better, except some stat bonuses ? I'm just saying that we are f2p and we just cant and shouldn't ask anything from jagex, if they want to give us something they will, if not then its theirs decision.

 

Btw. we just got varrock updated about and thats about 11 months since last update, SoS, so i would recommend keep waiting and not asking.

 

 

 

 

 

=D> :thumbsup: Best f2per out there :D. Not joking.. your the only one who gets it.

Being an F2per heading/hoping to achieve 99 mining causes me to dream about getting a hold on one of those lovely little capes...however, at the same time I feel that the 99 is really going to satisfy me way more than the adornment I could possibly wear. The question of whether we F2pers deserve it is not at all one-sided.

 

 

 

Effort wise it is definitely earned due to the extremely lengthy and harder training methods used in F2p. Money wise it does not terribly affect Jagex's profits yet does not increase them either. Reality wise any player that earns a 99 really does not need a cape to fully enjoy their amazing achievement. My stance on the matter is really more like a coin toss. I'm satisfied whether Jagex decides to provide or not provide the 99 capes to us F2pers.

I was f2p for 4 years.

 

Then you know how is the life in f2p area don't you

 

 

 

I think that you got members cuz you were tired of f2p places and your parents (if oyu live with them) let you have membership

 

 

 

so the persons that get tired of f2p and can't pay what they can do give a idea!

 

 

 

thats why we NEED some updates!

 

I saw that when Jagex improved Varrok City lots of people stopped saying that we don't get updates cuz they made one from p2p AND f2p

 

 

 

But as I remember this "fight" for f2p updates takes 4-5 years cuz I played in that time and I come back thinking that Jagex improved more this game

 

 

 

HERE is the reason that we need updates, as you were lucky and were able to buy membership, you don't need this stuff, but those who can't need so Jagex can have more publicity and with more publicity Jagex will have more members (those adcited to the game) (don't care with my english, im brazilian :) )

[kuhasa]

we don't need THE CAPES, just the emote to show off your hard work will do to us!

[Kenshinjapan]

 

On a gaming and personal standpoint, they should. Forget what Jagex wants, is not part of the discussion. The debate is whether they should, not whether they will. As Achievement Capes goes, their purpose is to recognize those who had reached 99 in a given skill. Thats all. And no matter how you look at it, getting 99 in F2P is by far bigger achievement than ANY 99 skill in Members. Looking at achievement, the only difference is that you pay $5, they don't.

 

 

 

 

I'm going to respectfully disagree. To me, as a member, there are a lot more options available for maxing out a skill than there are for non-members. Personally speaking, I am more impressed by seeing a non-member with 99 than a member with 99.

 

 

 

yes a non greedy member

 

 

 

keep it up chicky ur great!!

 

 

 

Ironic, your a greedy f2per. :-w :lol: :roll: . Become a member if you want it and quit using [crap] excuses for not being a member. It's not jagex fault and they shouldn't have to cater to your every need because of it. Some of the f2pers posting are contradicting themselves when they say that giving them skill capes would encourage more memberships. Yet your also saying that you CANT become a member becuse of [insert excuse here]. Get a decent story with not as many flaws in it :notalk: .

[mathgenius50]

I believe that f2p definetly deserve skill capes for thier hard work b/c its harder to get a 99 skill there

 

 

 

F2p will get skill capes when pigs fly. :-k [/u]

[devast8u]

I don't support, even though I admit that it's MUCH harder to get a 99 skill in F2P. If Skill Capes become F2P, then that's one less thing to entice people to become a member. Jagex is a business, and it only makes sense that they kept these capes P2P to maximize the number of suscriptions. Second, some of the skillcapes (such as attack and strength) are located in members only areas. To relocate them to F2P would be too much of a hassle, I reckon.

There is nothing to support, here, in this debate. Oh, and we have had some ideas on how to not have to relocate some of the people, such as portals or a F2P NPC to give all capes that would otherwise need relocating.

I would love skillcapes in f2p, that's all I've ever asked for next to bank space. Those are the only 2 things f2p needs. Yes, skillcapes would possibly go to macros, but who cares? you really think their gonna go out and buy a skill cape?

 

 

 

"Hey guys! I got a skill cape! I'm a macro! Oh pwnt!"

 

 

 

 

 

Macros make account, cut wood, sell, get banned, they dont do anything else. And yeah some f2p would ask for more stuff, and possibly a majority.

[Syd]

Yes they should. They've done more work for the cape and really deserve it. Gets my vote.

[816_f2p_total]

Yeah they should it would make f2p a bit more fun.

[O_M_G_Guasto]

Yeah they should it would make f2p a bit more fun.

 

They are suppose to make members a bit more fun. I'm not trying to be a greedy member [wagon] like some people, honestly I am. It's really hard to decide which side to support even though it doesn't matter because free to play won't get skill capes anyway.

[jemathonical]

F2P should get the capes.

 

But we probably won't. That's how Jagex wants it, they'll keep it that way.

[kuhasa]

well if we don't get the capes, jagex could make any skill that is member turn into free, so new players will play, they will get bored, and will get members

 

 

 

so this is a IDEA, Jagex should think more about publicity

[Roberthree]

Ok, heres my plan. Makes skillcapes a non-members item (It doesn't say "Members Object" on a free world) but keep the NPCs that sell them in members only areas.

 

 

 

That way they have to buy members for at least a month to get it.

 

 

 

Jagex would still make money. After spending a month as a member not many people will want to go back. If they loose their cape they'll have to pay membership again to get it back.

nah not good idea, if don't capes, let us be able to make trowing knifes!

 

just need anykinda of bar and make!

 

 

 

non members could do that

[The Observer]

I think we should because it takes alot more work to get a 99 skill in non-member than members. Having members only having them is sickening because it is just rich people who have it easy.

you made sense in 2 things

 

 

 

first>its harder in f2p then members

 

second>most of f2ps don't have 99k or even have 45k

 

 

 

so thats the reason, i had to buy an addy kite (g) to my best friend cuz he is without money and he wanna wc cape

[dtbrehm]

members have so many extra benifits than f2p, would skill capes really tilt the balance that much? :roll:

 

 

 

besides having skill capes f2p would make us f2p'ers want to get 99's even more. we work hard on the skills, not saying p2p doesn't, but we should atleast have something to show for it. 8-)

[dtbrehm]

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.

 

 

 

i completely agree. :

[Unleasher10]

I'm F2P, but I don't think we should get skillcapes.

 

Sure, we might have every moral and ethical right to get them, but Jagex isn't about whether we deserve them, they're a business, and if they didn't get money they wouldn't exist. If even one player goes members for them then it's worth keeping them P2P.

[xena4818]

I think they should because any skill to lvl 99 takes a long time and alot of hard work but you would need to do your random events which should cut bots out of the prize of a skill cape...

Not really... The 500 hours he spent playing could have made him over $2000 dollars at a minimum wage job.

If I were sleep eight hours each night at a hotel, does that make me eligible for $32 each night for free from the hotel I sleep at, just because if I were to work during the night then I would earn that? No. Why should RS be different?
