Honestly I just think jagex should have said this will be the final "commemorative cape" and made it look as aesthetically appealing as the master capes. I dont think anyone cared much about the veterans capes. It was nice to find out how "old" your account was when you made it as a kid, but the capes themselves imo never needed to exist outside of the 5 and 10 year ones. I mean all they could do is after a certain amount of years unlock some old holiday event items? I mean those things need more eyes and I mean at least at 15 years get the untradeable RS2 holiday event items and at 20 give you the RSC untradeable items. They would still be rare, but at least it would be fair to vets who werent there on the day an option to get exclusive items from a time long gone. Mass contributor to deaths coffers.

again, not better stats. Just even or more aesthetically good looking components.
If you held a poll and ask people's preference: cape with particles or without, with particles will win. And since 15y cape has particles, its rediculous to downgrade a cape which requires a 5 year older account.

None of the other vet capes have them either, so this is nothing new.

They just decided to do something different for 15yrs and went back to non for 20.

The vet capes are awesome and personally IMO they stand out much more than any skill / comp capes / titles.

As for re-introducing the OLD RSC rares, that would be horrible... Those items are for the old players that were there playing back in the beginning. They hold value to those players for the sheer fact that they show their accounts age.

Those are the guys that were there through the Dupe, Fally Massacre, Removal of Free Trade, Removal of the Wilderness, Ect. These guys dealt with all the bullsh*t over the ages and fought to reinstate these aspects back into the game after they were removed. At least let them have some unique cosmetics to stand out!

Uhh just saying, but thres loads of time locked items that never get rereleased, so why should any of the ones you're asking for be any different?

Lets not devalue things that ppl got just because others couldnt for w/e reason.
