Tenebri Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 in my opinion i think 99 firemaking should be a respectable skill but i do always see people with firemaking cape and people always say "get a real skill cape" or something along those lines i have 99 firemaking have done for a few years now when i got it, it was a respectable skill but now thats its "cheap" its suddenly changed everyone has seem to have forgotten about how many clicks it actualy takes and the fact its not a afkable skill 60 - 99 is roughly 94k maple logs (most people use maples so using that as example) thats 192k clicks not including banking in my opinion clicking 192,000 times has to be respected especialy for a skill that is very very repetitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much money you have, no matter how many phat sets you have, no one will respect you for it. Get over it, and play the game to have fun. It doesn't matter what that asshat 1000 miles away thinks about your cape, which YOU know is a meaningful accomplishment.

Synthox Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 To me, the only thing that matters about a cape is the way it looks. Sure, it has nice def bonuses (and prayer on the trimmed) but if you wanted those you could just buy an obby cape. To me, these are the best looking capes: FarmHerbAgilityFiremaking (the orange looks cool with gilded armor even though its yellow)FishingAttackDungeoneering But the best is Slayer Also, has anyone else noticed how many capes are white or off white? I mean, look: SummPrayerRunecraftingHitpoints Four white capes and not a single yellow one. But i digress. No capes are really noob because it took a couple of months to get it.Of course, feel free to disregard this entire entry as i have no capes...yet.Herb cape, i'm coming for ya...eventually... TT rewards: 2 ranger boots, Zamorak page 1 (2x), Guthix page 1, Ancient page 2 You must construct additional oak larders doors... I mean pylons Barrows: 10. Total value~22.3 mil.

Krazi Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Maybe it's because I don't have a skillcape myself, but am I the only one who doesn't see this kind of thing going on? I can't recall a single time I've seen somebody get bashed for wearing a skillcape. Anyways, I say just suck it up and get on with it. It's the internet, do you really care what somebody else that you don't know says or thinks of you? Add them to your ignore list and get on with it.

Omali Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 People should be respected in a game because of how one person treats another person with the respect that a normal person should have when talking to another person. Respect should just be commonplace, and not treating someone like [cabbage] because of something that they did, or didn't do, in a video game. Respect in a video game is where you see someone in Team Fortress 2 who is wielding a community weapon, and knowing that he (and his group of modders) created a weapon/hat good enough that Valve included it as an in-game drop.Respect in a video game is meeting the developer of Alien Swarm, who were hired by Valve to create a full game for the source engine.Respect in a video game is seeing the researchers in World of Warcraft who used the plague incident as a method of simulating how real responses to outbreaks can be formed in real life.Respect in a video game goes to the people in World of Warcraft with the "world's first" achievements.Respect in a video game goes to the first group in Everquest to wake and kill The Sleeper.Respect in a video game goes to the lucky bastard who killed Richard Garriot in Ultima Online.Respect in a video game goes to those who fought with Morpheus to try and nuke The Matrix Online offline in a live event.Respect in a video game goes to the writer of "Biased Banning Raises Brows"Respect in a video game goes to the guy who made public a major hole in NCsoft's account security back in 2006.Respect is given to the guys who discovered a major breach of security and notified the company before any damage could be done.Respect is given to the player who not only offers help, but shows the other person how to be self reliant (introducing them to a wiki, for example).Respect is given to the player who discovers an exploit, but reports it without using it or telling his friends about it.Respect is given to the player who douses flame wars, not ignites them. Respect in a video game is not who clicked or played more than who. Having 99 firemaking may be impressive, people might be impressed by your cape, clicking a few million times to light a whole bunch of logs is not respectable, and neither is the cape. Respectable acts in a video game is not how long you've played the game, but what you did in your time playing. The impact that you had on the game world, the company, and the players who are inside of it. You could become well known for your kindness (The Old Nite), being the best supplier of weapons and armor, or even just a passing guy who people talk to and leave saying "he's a good guy." Respect is not gathered by being a goody-two-shoes, nor by being a knight in shining armor. You don't have an obligation to respect everyone's opinion no matter how ridiculous it is, and frankly you don't have to answer everyone's questions or personally lead them everywhere, but ultimately when people see your username some will say "This is someone I would get to know better if I knew them personally." Here on Tip.It my blunt nature is what gives me the respect of more people than you might think along with the fact that I take the time to truly think through what I'm saying, no matter how unimportant the conversation may feel I always give my best effort in formulating a response, whereas on my website I've managed to get a number of developers (Cryptic, Quest Online, Wizards of the Coast, etc) to offer me comments on articles because although some of my stories portray those same companies in a negative/positive light I personally stay neutral. Outside of my computer, where much of my discussion turns to political (I am pursuing a career in talk radio, I will have my associates this spring), I am applauded for taking a neutral stance and having an objective insight, doing my research and refusing to allow things to pass by because the more favorable party did it. So respectable isn't the word you're looking for, more along the lines of "impressibility," in which case you have to recognize that not everyone is going to be impressed with your accomplishments. Some people are impressed if you can play Coldplay's The Scientist on a piano, whereas other people would be more impressed if you'd play Four Seasons in D Minor. I personally would never shoot down a 99 cape, as I know it's taking my patience long enough to get one 99 (I'm going for 99 fishing). I see accomplishments like 99's as something that isn't respectable, but I would never assault someone verbally based off of what they did in a video game. It's not my place, nor anyone else's (aside maybe your parents if you're a kid) to decide what you do with your spare time, and quite frankly we all have our vices, where at the end of the day playing Runescape for 99's is really no different than spending hours on Farmville, watching television, working on your fantasy sports team, or learning how to bake a delicious cake. Only one of those activities results in delicious cake, however. I have read the whole thread, and I can only say that you obviously care more about what these people say than you would like to admit, because you took the time writing a thread about it. I'm going to give you a piece of advice: Personal victories should stay just that, personal victories. There is a time for video games and a time for "normal life" accomplishments, but when it comes to the accomplishments you make in video-game time, who cares what other people think? You're not different than the guy who spent a year building a 1/1,000th scale replica of the Eiffel Tower in popsicle sticks. To him, it's an accomplishment, to some others it's a waste of time. Ultimately, if your accomplishment isn't with intent to benefit others either directly or indirectly, anyone else's opinion should be worth jack [cabbage]. When it comes to your personal achievements, don't be afraid to be a snob. Don't be afraid to take the [bleep] Cheney approach and tell them to go [bleep] themselves (in a more diplomatic way, obviously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashNburn Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I don't believe people call it a noob cape just because of the price, It's certainly also about the xp rate. Burning maples you can average 180k/hour. Even without backlighting and much concentration you'd be hard-pressed to fall below 120k/hour. Thus it gets lumped together with cooking/fletching/thieving as a relatively fast and cheap cape to acquire, although considering the average methods people use to train all four, FM probably requires the most concentration.

Poopingman Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Again, the game is not a race to 99. Stop judging people solely on the number/type of skill capes they have. Start judging by a player's actions and demeanor. Our culture is so twisted backwards nowadays it is unbelievable. This coupled with the tolerance towards blatant bot usage has spelled the end of honestly playability for any of us. Soon all 99s won't be worth a damn because so many will have attained it.
