We should just be happy that we were able to achieve a 99 in any skill and not show off just because we can.Perhaps you like the looks, or the emote but does it matter about a silly cape that shows your mastery in a skill?
Dug, to some of us it does im afraid :/ its something i look forward to its all i ever wanted in real rs and i never got it. (i was 96 hunt on the way to 99 when i got hacked) also they look epic with outfits the emotes don't bother me in the slightest. I know some people are not interested but that means just don't get one, therefore those who do can have one.
Skill capes will not be available anytime in the near future, there is too many other high priority tasks at hand as well as bugfixes. This is not debatable, as we as a group all agree that content and perfect game play is top priority.
