3hitm4g3u Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 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.

Owned_Nex Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 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. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden.

Rock Hard Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Fact is there are harder to get capes and easy to get capes. Harder capes WILL get more respect.

bonzeben23 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 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 Account created on Weds, December 21st, 200599 cooking on December 12th, 2010. 99 Agility on September 30th, 2011. 99 Fletching on August 17th, 2012. 99 Prayer on March 22nd, 2016. 99 Farming on April 4th, 2016.

Lose No Hope Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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...

scorpiojon Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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?

Tempest_Mike Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Kurity Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomrombom Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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.

satya1avesta Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 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. Yea that'd be fun...if I was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndJusticeForOne Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 :mellow: 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]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpandax Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MyCalmSkills Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 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. :---) :^_^: Proud To Have Once Owned An Untrimmed Agility Cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
