Achievement Capes' Respect

[11the_mask_1]

All Achievement Capes should be respected, some more than other, but every cape requires dedication.

 

 

 

Some people may do little effort to get an "easy" keep quickly, but even "easy" capes can be enjoyably done the hard way. But that depends on the person and you can't see on the cape how it was achieved :)

 

 

 

More respected achievement capes for me would be Farming (ughhh), Runecrafting and Fletching (I can't stand it! :shock: )

 

 

 

A year ago I would've said Agility too, but it's a rather fun skill when done the right way, I experienced :D

[ElkNight]

alkaline stop spamming, seriously

 

Well i respect RC and Mining the most Mostly because they are so boring and i cant stand them.

[Zaaps1]

Some are a lot easier to get than others, personally I think each cape is special, even if it is a "dirt" skill.

[Jaccoud]

-X option made Fletching and Cooking get less/no respect.

 

Without it there will still existing a lot o players with Fletching and Cooking 99 because xp/h is a high, but those skills won't be semi-afk like nowadays.

[Zierro]

Flaunting three days worth of work is not something to expect others to respect you for. A Skill cape should be obtained for two, and only two things: either a) a love of the skill, or B) a cape with higher defense capabilities than any currently available to said player. If, as is the case for the majority of the owners of some capes, a skill cape is obtained for a main reason neither of those two, that player is an attention-seeker. Respecting this type of person for reasons that are, relatively speaking, not worthy any realistically tangible level of respect, is not wise and should be avoided. You are feeding their ego's and making them weaker psychologically than they already are.

 

 

 

Sadly, differentiation between an attention-seeker and a true lover of a skill is difficult at first glance, and, although, attention-seekers make up a large majority of "easy skill cape" owners, generalizations and stereotypes should be avoided. Subsequently, unless given logical reason to praise such people [the possibility that they are not an attention-seeker is reasonably high, they are your friend, etc.] laudation is unnecessary and unadvised.

 

 

 

I can easily make it look like having 5k posts makes you an "attention seeker". Since day one, I decided that having maxed out skills would be really cool. Even on Single Player games, I've made the personal goals of achieving high levels, the best weapons, etc. etc. Does that make me an attention seeker too - oh wait, you can't do that on Single Player games. -.-

 

 

 

In a lot of cases it's not love for a particular skill or attention seeking - it's perfectionism - the idea that you achieved something. Are you honestly going to tell me that there is no such thing as self-satisfaction?

[asianboy7o7]

browsed through all those pages eh

 

 

 

i dont like fletching/cooking capes either

 

 

 

i know i dont have a 99 i am also going for untrimmed hp cape no pc id say 1% of it was pced though since i was new to members at the time and needed the exp

 

 

 

there are thousands of people who have like 100 exp over 99 which means they just grinded there way to 99 and stopped

 

 

 

cooking capes 10,000 or so people have gained like 2k exp over 99

 

 

 

it is pretty much useless to train a skill to 99 especially if it doesnt bring profit

[transcript80]

All capes deserve respect IMO, because people took the time and dedication of getting 13M xp in something.

 

 

 

Even the "easy" capes like cooking, fletching and firemaking cost time and dedication (and some money) to get, and I would probably be able to get those, but I can't because I can't stand doing these skills for over 30 minutes. Thus, people that DO have the cape are respected by me, because they did something that I couldn't, which is "powering" a skill until 99.

 

 

 

As such, I would like to get SOME respect for my quest cape, since I worked for it (and still have to, contrary to 99 capes) to get it. So yeah, I used guides, but a lot of people use guides to get their 99 for figuring out the most effiecient (either cost, time or a combination of the 2) way of getting that 99.

 

 

 

In my opinion, the most respected capes are Runecrafting, slayer, agility and mining for their slow exp rates, un-ability to be bought or just the respect for people getting a 99 in the skill that I dispise the most (agility).

[Dire_Wolf]

As many of you know some capes are respected less than others. Such as the Fletching, Woodcutting, Firemaking, Cooking, and the Quest Cape. As we all know they do take time and concentration, sometimes money. Yet they are treated as dirt sometimes. Today I was playing and a level 83 called a level 103 a noob because he had all the capes listed as "Dirt" skill capes when this 83 had none. So my question is, Do you think these are just as valuable as the others?

 

Also, what is the most Respected Cape?

 

 

 

Discuss.

 

 

 

I would say some capes (Fletch+FM) are not as value able as others cause they are just to easy to get. Others are hard to get, meaning you don't see them so often. So you kinda think "Nice", and that gives respect for the person who's gotten the cape. Though i respect all capes, but some more than others.

 

 

 

Example: Fletch and FM is nowhere Near MeleCapes.

 

 

 

Magic is better than Mele Capes

 

 

 

Range is equal to Mele capes

 

 

 

Summoning is better than Mele Capes and Magic+Range.

Firemaking is hard because you have to move the mouse so much!combat is just (mostley)pced,but combat is just clicking on a monster,drink pot,eat something.....

[Dire_Wolf]

True, but what good is 99 FM....

 

 

 

99 STR= Hit Max 40...

 

 

 

+If i use 20M i can get 99 FM very fast burning Magic logs.

[konzserwas]

I've talked to a guy with 11 skill capes. Can't get you the full list, but i'm pretty sure it's including att, str, def, range and mage. He said fm was his hardest cape without any doubt.

 

 

 

It all depends on how you play and what you like. Even fletching and cooking can be really hard

[Albel]

I have respect for every cape. Some more then others, but they still got 13,034,431 xp for it so i show respect for every cape.

 

-Haseo

[The Observer]

People should get achievement capes because they like the skill, and not because other people don't. :wall:

[IeatWindex]

Im having second thoughts of getting 99 fletching. I guess I will just get 99 strength, another skill I like.

 

 

 

Max hits FTW

I am not basing my respect for a cape on how hard it is only.

 

 

 

1: Is it fun

 

2: Is it useful

 

3: Is it hard (rare)??

 

 

 

That's my criterias.

I'm not surprised at your response since the only skill cape you have was bought.

 

 

 

I respect RC skill cape the most.

[aglips]

All skill capes deserve equal respect because they are still all skill capes (including quest cape which is probably harder to get than some of the others)

 

 

 

However, i think that ingame people see the capes differently. Eg a lvl 80 with 99 cooking cape (t) is looked down upon, as having a easy skill cape. However a lvl 80 with something like farming (ut)would be given alot of respect by players higher than them.

 

 

 

I think the most respected cape depends on the level of the person wearing it. Eg a lvl 3 with a cape gets more respect than a lvl 100 with the same cape. Imo the most respected cape is slayer cape because of the effort needed to get it.

 

 

 

-=Zappo=-

 

 

 

And any level 3 with a slayer cape deserves very little respect, because that is far too much no-lifeing with lamps.

 

 

 

This statement is so ridiculous since it will be virtually impossible to get to lvl 99 slayer only by using lamps. You need to play more and understand he game better.

[Roseiah]

I think all capes deserve some respect, some more than others. All capes require some determination. There are easy and hard capes and people with hard capes should be respected, but those with "easy" capes should also be respected for having gotten to the highest level. I don't think in Runescape we will ever get to a point where having a cape is seen as an achievment because of all the ill feeling that surrounds them. Cooking or Slayer the person behind the cape deserves some respect.

[Gravy]

People should get achievement capes because they like the skill, and not because other people don't. :wall:

 

 

 

QFT.

 

 

 

So many people think it's cool to have a rare cape. Who gives a damn in hell if someone has 99 cook, but they loved the skill. They loved, thats what matters.

 

 

 

Nothing fun about grinding to some stupid level unless you enjoy it.

 

 

 

As for respect for capes, respect yourself for getting the cape, ignore anyone else puttign you down.

[lcchs]

all skillcapes deserve recognition, at the very least people should not call someone a noob for having a "easy" to get skillcape. if u want to rank skillcapes in order of diffculty to get, summoning would top the list. Slayer and runcrafting is next hardest followed by Agility, woodcut, fishing, mining would be next since these skills since they need quite some time even if u use the fastest method money can help u buy. Quest and combat is then the next in difficulty and time consumption, the rest of the skills depends on how much money u have or are willing to spend, construction, crafting, cooking, farming, firemaking, fletching, herblore, magic, prayer, range, smithing, thieving. yes prayer is buyable assuming u have lots of cash, u can buy ourg bones and use them with ur altar.

 

 

 

how i ranked the skills is based on their buyability and how that affects the time it takes to get the cape, some people will argue that getting the money to get the money to train the skills should be accounted for, for all i know u could have gotten a blue phat a few years back and should it for a few hundred millions. so therefore i only rank the skills in terms of how long it takes u to get even if u had all the money in the world

[DarkX99]

Personally, I have two "dirt" capes - Cooking and Fletching. :P

 

Both of these seemed like a big accomplishment to me when I first got them (which was a while ago).

 

But right now, anyone with a cooking cape or fletching cape is looked down upon because they "bought" their 99.

 

I do have respect for some capes more than others (Slayer, RC > Cook, Fletch)

 

 

 

Right now I'm going for my fourth 99, Woodcutting.

 

Don't know why this would be a dirt cape but it's taken me alot of work and I'm a little more than halfway there.

 

 

 

Every 99 cape deserves [some] respect because they all take some time to get, no matter how much money you spend on it. :lol:

[jenova1692]

I don't think anyone should get any "respect" just cause they have loads of time to spend on a very easy game. I like how everyone uses words like "work" to describe getting a skill cape. I'm sorry, but its a game where you sit around all day and click. No "work" involved, and sometimes very little concentration, just a lot of time to waste being bored. Some exceptions can be made for certain capes that really do require at least a little thinking, but even then only a little. If I ever got a 99, which I probably won't because I just simply don't have enough time, I will not expect anyone to "respect" me for it. I wont even respect myself for it. Hell, I'll probably look down on myself for wasting so much time on a game that will get me nowhere 2 years down the road. Now before anyone flames me, I don't look down on anyone with a 99, in fact I congratulate you. But I will NEVER respect you just because you wasted a month or more of your life on a game.

I respect RC skill cape the most.

 

Lol, you say you can respect his 99 because it was bought and then you go on to say your most respected 99 is another bought 99? (by the definition that you buy all th raw materials, whih your obviously using)

 

Anyway you'd notice he was 98 wc....

 

 

 

Tbh I think the word 'buyable' is totally crap, you may be able to buy the items but theres still effor involved. You can say I bought my 99 firemaking, yeah sure, but 140k willows logs still required 3 months to burn and actually achieve that level...

 

 

 

And the fact is that a 'buyable' 99 also requires time to earn that money, whether it be cooking around 3m or construction for 110m. I think rather that saying buyable the amount of effort involved to achieve the level would be a better measure of how respectable a level is. Eg, aglips, i respect your 99 slayer alot, because it requires effort to achieve that level, but techinally you also bought it, as I highly doubt all your lvls were from your drops or you punching with no armour to that level. Thats why I think 'buyable' is a bad word to use.

 

 

 

*waits for somebody to say that I'm saying this because of my 99s* :roll:

You're kidding, right? You seriously think that? I Don't know what your slayer level is but anyone with 99 slayer will tell you that you can make a lot of money just from drops and clues. I was able to buy my mask sets and Partyhats all from slayer.

You missed my point, when I got 99 fletching I earnt money, you would say thats a buyable skill? Right?

 

Obviously I bought items to help me level, and I highly doubt you didn't buy any of the items you used to level slayer. Sure slayer required a hell of alot more effort, but thats why I don't like the term buyable, as it can really be applied to any skill...
