Skill Capes

Why should members be the only ones that are able to use skill capes? Achieving 99's in f2p is just as hard, if not SIGNIFICANTLY harder... I think Jagex should change this

 

because everybody wants to wear those rare capes, so they'll pay money. Jagex makes more money this way.

 

^This EXACTLY.
More benefits=More paying customers.

 

ehh I guess it's true, sometimes I forget that RS is all a business =)

 

Thats why f2players made bots.

 

Jagex are money-hungry whores. There is no reason why F2P players shouldn't get skillcapes. I agree with you. It IS harder for them.

But alas, that is the way Jagex does it. >_<

 

I think it should be f2p as well. I have a f2p 40-99-1 pure and would love to rock a strength cape.

 

haha yeah, Str capes are hot on pures =)

 

It only costs $3-4 for you to get membership and the cape. And this has been suggested many times. But it will never come true.

 

its only 6 dollars to make an account member?? are you guys this poor?

 

It's not about the money. It's about what is fair.

 

Guess what... The REAL WORLD isn't fair. If skill capes were both free/members, they could lose some profit. The purpose of companies is not to make things fair, but make cash.

 

Yeah, pretty much. I actually know a few people who got membership just for a skill cape, then let it expire because they didn't actually want to play as a member.

 

I agree with charmander, he has a point.

 

I know that. But F2P players should be able to get the cape at least. It's a lot harder for them to get 99 in something than a member. I don't know.

 

It's not about money - it's about the reasoning behind it.

By allowing F2P users to wear skill capes, it MAY reduce memberships, however it will also increase them, therefore I consider it as more of a win, rather than a lose.

Scenario. (This is assuming skill capes were introduced for F2Players)

You're F2P, you've never been p2p before. After months of hard, long training, you've finally achieved 99 mining. You get the cape, and wear. Oh sh*t, my outfit looks horrid. I think it's about time I upgraded to P2P to get myself a better outfit.

 

i think if they were to make skill capes f2p then membership subscriptions will decrease

 

i agree 100%. i have a f2p rune pure that over time i got 99 woodcutting. after getting it i wanted the cape so bad, i made him a member for a month JUST to buy the skillcape

 

maybe its true.... Runescape is a business after all, but I was just saying it would be more fair for f2p have capes too

 

tottaly right we all have to make money somehow
