Achievement Capes' Respect

[Kilo]

All capes take time and dedication to get, neither of which that level 83 had.

[pkerlex]

I use to have fletching cape on me old account and loved it... didnt care what people thought lol

 

I liked the look of it :lol:

[The_Fray]

The only thing a slayer cape shows is that you have alot of free time :roll:

 

 

 

Its stupid to respect someone because of a cape on a game, sorry guys :roll:

 

This has been mentioned in the thread, I personally admire the people with these capes because they had a diligence to get them. They had to work hard to get them and they certainly in my opinion deserve some sort of respect for that.

i dont have to respect any piece of armor, clothing, or weaponry in runescape regardless of the effort accrued to obtain it. its a game, and i just want to have fun.

 

 

 

As we said we don't respect the Clothing/Armour we respect the effort, and determination.

 

 

 

when i mentioned armor, clothing, and weaponry i not only implied the item itself but whatever the person went through to get it. this will sound callous, but who cares if you have 99 rc? get lost, im trying to play the game for myself.

[Pat_61]

Well we all have plenty of opions. Thanks everyone for input.

[I_am_Geed]

ovbiously, some people will respect some skillcapes over another.

 

 

 

I honestly respect runecraft, herblore, and prayer

 

 

 

Its just the player's taste, I guess, its a lot of work to get just 1 for most people

Cooking and Fletching capes are kind of dirt capes. They're very easy to get. Just pay money, grind for a week or two, and there's your cape. One of my friends got 200k Cooking Exp an hour while going for 99. That's easy.

 

 

 

Quest Capes I can respect, because very few people bother to do quests (let alone all of them). It also means you did the MEP2 Temple Maze, which is enough to earn anyone's respect (LEDGES! :? ). I respect firemaking capes because that means you have the patience to click "Use Tinderbox --> Willow/Maple/Yew Logs" around 100k times.

 

 

 

The most respectable cape, IMO, is Slayer. It's one of the only capes that can't be bought and still takes forever.

[raaarga]

Another one of these? Jesus. At least three per month. I'll summarize every single post in this thread for you.

 

 

 

Point A: Cooking and Fletching are easy and shouldn't be respected. I could get them easy.

 

Point B: They're still capes and should be respected. If they're not hard to get, why don't you have them?

 

 

 

Slayer/Runecrafting

 

 

 

Done.

[Da_Latios]

I don't think that any capes should be considered "dirt" but some should be given more respect than others. If I see a 65 with a trimmed fletching cape I'll put my money on him being a second account of somebody, and the trim on the cape is from cooking. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't get respect for those capes, but I would most definetly give more if he had some other kind of cape.

 

 

 

BTW: How is WC an easy 99? Anyone?

I'd like a WC cape. They look really neat.

Runecrafting is 15-25k an hour?(With ZMI) which wouldn't take too long to get 99.

[Shahrazad]

Each skill cape has its own uniqueness and its special emote, no matter how easy/hard it can be achieved. Getting a 99 is something special, no matter how easy it is. A player spent the time and effort to achieve a certain cape so why not showing the respect without even complaining about how easy it can get?

 

Some people can get some of the capes easily because they have the ability for it but some can't achieve the capes easily because it can be hard for them to reach a 99 in a skill or completing all the quests.

 

 

 

Furthermore, I don't admire anyone with having a skill cape but it's awesome to have it anyway.

[Rock Hard]

I don't respect people for their stats, anyone can gain a certain stat so long as they have the time available to put into it.

 

 

 

I respect people for the way they act, not for their ability to complete simple repetitive tasks.

[O_M_G_Guasto]

I have zero respect for achievement capes. The 99s behind them, on the other hand...

 

 

 

For some reason really stupid people think achievement capes =/= the 99 behind them. :lol:

 

 

 

I really hate how RuneScape has degraded from "Awesome 99 Herblore skill!" to "Awesome Herblore cape!", it undermines all the effort you put into the skill.

[sombra3292]

Lol the cape respresents the 99. So I disagree with you.

 

 

 

Mining/Runecrafting/Slayer

 

The three most respectable capes in my opinion.

 

All take a massive amount of time.

 

And Mining and Runecrafting are just plain boring.

 

 

 

Summoning is also majorely respectable as well.

 

Like construction, it's a skill only to be mastered by the super rich..

 

But it also requires a large amount of time to accumulate the required charms.

 

 

 

And even if it's not as much as other skills I still have a level of respect for anyone who's 99ed Cooking or Fletching or any of those "easy" skills.

 

To call someone a noob because they've bought themselves a 99 is just plain rude (with a hint of jelousy).

[Firesword758]

The most respected skill hands down is runecrafting. It's not the hardest...no skills are hard in Runescape. It just takes the longest the get, and the most paitence.

[child_sycopath]

For me i think they are all a very big achievment and i 100% disagree that the quest cape could be reguarded as "dirt" It is, And proboly will remain, The only cape that you have to constantly work for.

 

I think that all capes require alot of effort so all are a hudge achievment. I respect anyone with a skillcape whatever one it may be.

 

It is bound to happen that some capes are more respected then others, Some are cheap to get, Others are more costly. Some are fast others are slow. I think that at the moment the summoning cape is by far the most respected seeing as that it takes hundreds of hours of barraging and alot of money. Although over all slayer is proboly the hardest, Rc Used to be 3rd in my opinon but then ZMI cape out and a surge of capes came with it.

[dpostorivo]

The quest cape is actually becoming harder and harder to get. I own this cape and each new quest i've seen lately is getting more difficult. In fact, I've seen less ppl with this cape now. This cape cannot be just bought like sum other capes (cooking,fletching,etc) Most of the "dirty" capes can be bought and sum well respected capes can b bough. Like smiting construction, crafting and to some extent rcing. Also when the quest cape first came out is was really respected. No one should be made fun of but, some do not deserve respect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also as soon as some more achievement diaries come out they will prob have a cape for that (maybe even able 2 trim quest). Idk if that one will b respected or not.

[Lord_Shalaj]

I'm totally disagreeing with the topic starter here on quite a few points mentioned..

 

 

 

Woodcutting and Firemaking are not easy. I could list why they aren't but the others have done a good job anyway.

 

 

 

Getting a 99 for the sake of a cape, is not what I regard highly. You're forcing yourself to work hard on a skill you dislike/like or extending your determination to battle with boredom for a cape to just show off with. That doesn't count.

 

 

 

Obtaining a 99 means that the reward you get is not the cape, but the satisfaction of being the master of the skill that you cherished skilling. The cape is just an add on. It does look good on you though ;)

 

 

 

----

 

 

 

Quest Capes wouldn't have been released if there wasn't any thing to work for to obtain them, they are quite hard and few of the quests are boring.

 

 

 

It's a good achievement to have a Quest Cape, and it's fun to obtain it too.

 

 

 

Thanks..

Mining and runecrafting

[antianti5]

well, flething and cooking is kinda normal :P

 

 

 

I got to say Runecrafting is hawtest

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, idk, since capes arent f2p... whitch i think its very unfair... Soo, no capes for me...

[andy_matthews]

I would say the construction cape is the hardest. Only because of the amount of money you'll have to get. Of course, you could just get it with just limestone, but that'll make it harder.

 

 

 

Anyways, I am currently trying to get the Fishing Cape, which is relatively easy, but it isn't a 'bought' cape, like cooking or fletching. I do respect anybody with a skillcape, unless if they're a jerk about it.

Ok, well since you think that Runcrafting isn't as difficult as every other person in this thread thinks, I'll just go with your opinion. :roll:

[reverberates]

Many of you say that 99 fletching is an achievement that does not require attention. I beg to differ. When I got 99 fletching, I spent many, many days stringing bows, which required 2 clicks for every single bow strung, as there was no auto-string when I gained 99. So when you say 99 fletching does not require attention, you are telling me that I strung around 100,000 yew longbows without paying attention. Please. Every 99 skill is a commendable achievement in itself, and none should be looked down on. As for the skill I 'respect' the most, it would probably be agility.

 

Just my two cents.

<3. I am 117 combat, and while all my stats are at least ALRIGHT, you'd find I have no 99s. Though I'm working for untrimmed 99 hp right now, NO PC, HATE IT, I guess I don't have much say in if any specific 99 is bad or not. However, from what I have seen, it's not that any cape is DISRESPECTED, it's more of others have more respect that come with that 99. If you can honestly say you don't have respect for someone who got 99 Cooking prior to 'COOK-X', *especially* back when if someone stood on the fire you wern't able to use it, then you would be one of a kind. True shame you can't tell apart the difference from people who actually cooked the food, and those who cook-x'ed it. I got probably to 75 cooking before the cook-x and the update to allow cooking to work with people on the fire.t
