July 1, 200917 yr Author Yea, considering what most people say is "max" consistent money making is about 1 mill an hour, and some of the harder skills require upwards of 50-100 mill, yet are somehow less respected than some gathering skills... O.O
July 1, 200917 yr Yea, considering what most people say is "max" consistent money making is about 1 mill an hour, and some of the harder skills require upwards of 50-100 mill, yet are somehow less respected than some gathering skills... Exactly. P.S. Why am I always saying "exactly" to estorrath's posts? Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing!
July 4, 200917 yr I feel as though they are less respected because they are a commonality amongst the players- the reason it is a commonality; because it is easy to achieve. This can be related to Guthan's armour. In the beginning- when it was released, if you saw someone with Guthan's, you would be like, "Woah! Awesome job getting that!! The spear is like.. 10m alone!!" There was a respect to it, because it wasn't something you got to have. At the same token, if someone had Karil's set (the cheapest of the time), you wouldn't give that player the same amount of "props" as you did to the Guthan's, because a large amount of people could go out and get Karil's as they pleased. So, back to the capes. Now, there are many players that have the Fletching and Cooking cape- as I said before, because it was easy. The easy that I am talking about is in relation to something like Slayer or Farming, I think we can all agree on that. Since we consider the easier to achieve, they are easier to get- this is a concept explained by Parkinson's law. If we rationalize something to be easier for us, it does become easier for us [Parkinson's law also states that if we give ourselves impossible goals to achieve and we really want to achieve them, it is possible, but that is a completely different story]. To end- in the beginning when only a few people had Cooking/ Fletching capes, it was a big deal. Now you can find many people who have them. Having a small number of people who have a certain item makes them part of an Elite that YOU'RE not in which gives them their respect.
