Sorry, Cambridge dictionary doesn't mean a thing to Jagex's own definition of their pixels, especially the Veteran Cape came out of the Guaranteed Content Poll:
"Guaranteed Content Poll
To accompany the design of these capes, we have decided to give YOU the final decision on what one of these capes should look like, and the cape we have chosen is the Veteran cape! "
We, the players voted for it in the Guaranteed Content Poll. It should stay the way it was because of the Powers to us, the Players.
Most of us aren't saying that it should change, we're trying to explain what someone means to a person taking it in a completely different way.
I personally have no problem with the capes the way they are,
I only have a problem with people who act like they are superior to others and try to put their ideas down by purposefully misinterpreting them.

That's exactly why we should go by Jagex's definiteion of Veteran Cape from the result of the
Guaranteed Content Poll.
If they have to come up with a 20 year cape, then don't call it Veteran Cape or anything similar to it, and they should also make new player capes too.

What Sylvain is saying is that just because an account if 15 years old doesn't mean it has 15 year veteran status because it may have not been logged in on for over 14 years - yet it is still able to buy the cape.
Likewise, if a player has been playing for 15 years, but has created a new account (standard, ironman, or hardcore ironman) in recent years, then that player would have to wait till that account is 15 years old to receive the 15 year cape, even if the player already has 15 years experience at the one year mark.
Essentially, I think Sylvain is trying to allude to total amount of hours put into RS across multiple owned accounts should be the identifier as to when you can buy a veteran cape, not the age of the account.
Personally, I quite like how there are capes every 5 years, but I understand there's also got to come a point where new capes are not necessary. Perhaps for the 20 year or 25 year cape, as well as being recolourable, they could update with the number of years that account has been active, so on the 27th birthday, the number on the back updates to XXVII from XXVI. I suppose there could be a toggle as to which number you want to see on the back up to and including the current age of the account.
This of course isn't necessary, but it could be a solution to the problem.
~A~
good point. I play multiple accounts. some old some new. I play os on a 10hp skiller a iron and a main. on rs3 a iron and this so sometimes this account, my main if you will can go inactive for months to years even.

Considering the 15yr had particles, who knows if the 20yr will.
Also, everyone will be able to obtain a 50yr capes as all you need to do is log on once your acc is that old.
So saying no one will be able to is sort of null unless the servers go offline before then.
Hey everybody! This "person" can see into the future and knows exactly what's going to happen now! Wow. That's some talent! Hahaha. Troll elsewhere. Nobody who's the original owner of any account will live to play this 50 years running, and even if they did, there'd be little point of a cape by then.

Uhh, idk what you're on about here but all you need to do to get any vet cape is log in after x number of yrs.
So if the servers are still up after 50yrs, i can see a need for a 50yr cape.
Darn tootin' I want a 50 year cape!!!
But for the 20 year "veteran" cape, I don't care what color it will be. Personally I vote for a solid pink...yeah...that's the color it should be...super pink.
Have fun with that one.

I was thinking more morbidly - most people would probably be dead by then.

xxqw56chxx, I am explaining to you what Sylvan was saying.
Yes, I understand what Veteran capes are for. I like them the way they are. Please see my first response regarding this.
The Cambridge dictionary defines the word veteran as "a person who has had a lot of experience of a particular activity". Sylvan is clearly going by the actual context of the word to show that the veteran capes we have does not necessarily mean veteran.
If you want to be pedantic, perhaps the name of the capes should be renamed to "Account Age Capes" or something along these lines.
I hope this clarifies the questions you were asking.
