Strength is looked down upon a bit, just because SO FREAKING MANY PURES invade the game and get 99 str with 60 attack and 20 defence so they can duel people with 70 in all 3, with the balanced player easily killing monsters but not pking, and the pure pking easily but can't kill monsters for [cabbage]. (rant on pures over)

Sounds like somebody got bullied by a pure ROFL. I felt the heartache in this post.

Skillcapes are badass-looking cloaks that you can wear if you have level 99 in a skill. That's what they are. If you automatically assume something much more than "That player has 99 fletching" of players because of their capes, you're just being dumb. I have 99 cooking. If you insult my cooking cape because you think I just got it to have an "easy 99" or something, [bleep] you, you're obviously a n00b.

I think the issue is people who have easier capes trying to convince their achievement is as important as harder capes. While everyone should be happy and proud with what they have, its pointless to try for respect if you have a easier cape. You shouldn't be playing for respect anyways.

 

Fact is there are harder to get capes and easy to get capes. Harder capes WILL get more respect. All capes weren't made equal.

beg to differ, some are just more equal than others

Why should you flame on somebody's in-game enjoyment? I just don't get that..

 

People like that don't have much going for them.

I would love to have any 99, but I would never want my first 99 to be a "buyable." It just gets ripped on because people don't think it's an accomplisment to buy something. They think buying a cape is bad, but buying a useless hat that costs 50x that is fine.

 

My mom's first cape was Fishing, with that fish she went from 65 to 99 cooking because she never sold any of the fish. She used the spare raw fish to sell and buy logs, then she started WCing. With 2 production skills she got 99 firemaking/fletching/cooking. All buyables, but other than fletching she didn't buy anything, and that fletching was bought because she didn't know what to do with the leftover raws. She's a woman obviously and therefore wears matching sets. You can't imagine the flaming when she wears her cooking/fletching cape.

 

Just sad noobs being sad.

 

Did you just say your mom has a cooking cape??? ROFL

 

OT: [bleep] the flamers, if they have a problem because you have a 99 and they don't/are hating on fletching tell them to get a life/kill themselves

I hate when people flame me for having an untrimmed fletching cape... Most of the people that would flame me dont even have a 99 cape. :wall: A 99 is a 99, it take time and dedication to get. Just because a cape isn't viewed as the hardest cape to get, doesnt mean that its a bad thing to get it... Im proud of my 99 and I could care less if a bunch of losers call me a noob for having it...

I personally think any 99 is a great accomplishment and good luck on getting it!

Don't mind what others say - everyone has to start somewhere and for you it happens to be Fletching :)

 

Indeed, Fletching was my first 99 and i got before all the "x" stuff, so i did work for it and i enjoyed it. Now look i've got 8 99's and soon to be 2 more. one of which is runecrafting. <-- Dare say i didn't work for that one.. 1 month of solid runecrafting got me 82-90 and then months of graahks got me too 97 nearly 98. I hardly used any runners maybe 4 trips to w36?

And if getting flamed for it wasn't bad enough, I get flamed by people who don't even have a 99. How is that not being an idiot? You can flame me for actually getting one but yet you don't have one, nor are you close.

 

That's when you just laugh at them. ;)

I used to be like you, untrimmed fletching.

Don't worry, you should be proud of it because of the effort you put in. No skill is buyable unless it requires no effort whatsoever. You still fletched those bows or arrows or bolts.

No skill is buyable unless it requires no effort whatsoever.

 

Actually, i think construction is.

 

It flys by at an amazing pace if you actually have the money.

 

That being said... Getting that money is an accomplishment in itself.

What about a lucky treasure trail, or catching a couple lucky kinglies?

 

And If you had the money you could easily get cons in a month. Cooking is similar.

When I see certain combat levels with a trimmed strength cape, I always ask "cook or fletch?" More times then not its either or both. I'm a combat n00b myself so I get mine too for not having a 99 skill, oh and having failed mage. In this game there is always someone, somewhere, who thinks he/she is better than you. I am just as guilty at times in the midst of frustration.

Yeah, and Rank 300 in Mobilizing Armies is buyable too. Anyone can just buy that and get it easily.

You could also just wear a...... *trumpets* dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnn HP CAPE!

Sad but true.

I had no idea this topic was still going, and I'd just like to thank everyone for the replies. :) Keep up the discussion! Making fun of somewhere for getting something they enjoy isn't very smartm, seeing as they won't care what you have to say!

All my capes are combat, I have no skills, is what I meant.

You can flame perfectly fine without spelling things right, you got his point so that's not the problem.

 

To bring another question in here, are strength capes shunned or not?

Being an owner of an untrimmed Strength cape, I can tell you that they are. I'm supposed to "get a real 99", not have a "noob 99". I can't even begin to tell you how many people have told me this and other similar [cabbage].

Don't use ADHD as an excuse for why you're getting 99 fletching and not a harder 99. I have ADHD, i haven't even been medicated for it for 3 years (since I was 18) and my first 99 was agility... before ADV courses.

Only took me about 10 months to get 99 construction lol.

 

 

But if you start showing off to me, I will start flaming.

 

This.

This is because half of RS players seem to have a strength cape, and people are tired of seeing overused, overobtained capes - strength, cooking, and fletching.

They are deemend newb by some because they are "buyable" its like sure you can buy your way to them, but it still costs atleast into double digit mils and u gotta make tht money some how before you can buy them!

 

*Stares at Construction Cape*

Dammit cost heaps and its a noob cape :wall:

On Topic - Fletching was my second 99 and even though not as respectable as agility still a 99. People just are jealous that you have a cape. :---) :^_^:
