The suggestion of the OP does not solve the core problem of the completionist cape. Singularity worded the problem perfectly on page 2 of this thread: the current way the completionist cape works drives people to complete content they dislike purely for the cape, in many cases rushing it (these leeches are a perfect example).
This rushing mentality in turn completely devalues content as well (120 slayer used to be rare and now every completionist has it since it has become a requirement..)

In short, the cape invokes unhealthy play in many people. Singularity also rightfully pointed out how little of the actual game these capes cover: I remember seeing a trimmed completionist with around 12000 runescore, while the max runescore at the time was around 20000 (yes runescore is bugged but that does not close this huge gap).

I am open to drastic changes such as splitting up the cape: make the capes relate to specific sections of the game such as skilling, combat and exploration, much like how the MQC relates to questing and lore, thus making players more likely to go after a cape which involves content they enjoy.

Or make the cape relate to the percentage of the total runescore, thereby giving players some freedom in how they obtain the cape and allowing the ability to get a higher percentage of achievements done to keep it even when new achievements are released (though I guess I might be biased here as an achievement hunter).

I have even opted for discontinuing the cape, but given how there is also a significant portion of players enjoying the completionist capes and how these capes keep people playing the game this is not a realistic solution.

All in all the completionist cape does have issues in its current state and while there may be potential solutions to this, all of these will probably upset a portion of players (even the one suggested by the OP). "One should not mindlessly follow gods or the godless:

the main thing wrong is its name.
there should be no way to win runescape.
it should never end. you should never complete it.
play this shit forever yo.

I neeeeeeed that cape. It does way too much stuff I rely on. I can't play without it.
Little shit yknow, but I mg instead of tab. I could go back to old way, but omg why?

Change name of it to somethin askew but cool.
Like...

Big Storms, I said all Singularity said years ago. Not only has Completionist devalued skills, it devalued the game as a whole. Made the game less fun to play. Pushed more people just to buy keys to get 120s too. Actually Slayer really has not been a rare cape for years either. Since the TH event where people were buying keys to get like 57mil exp in a pop. Also, updates like Prif just gave quicker ways to get 120s and 200mil skills. Checkout the new area in OSRS sometime. It really is the type of update RS3 needs. Also some of the other updates they are planning.

Oh and maybe the cape should be named after the mage on the statue we built. Since the cape was his.

@Koloth, is that problem with devaluing skills really comp's fault or MTX? There are plenty of players who trained their skills legitimately. As for priff and other faster skilling methods, I feel like its just a natural progression any game evolves. °l||l° Modest Skillers T7 Citadel | Skilling clan recruiting players. °l||l°

It is both: the completionist cape gives a lot of people the urge to rush skills just to keep it, while MTX is one of the means by which they can do so. "One should not mindlessly follow gods or the godless:

Comp is a joke

come play OSRS, we don't have the damn slavery cape
*osrs max cape looks around the corner at you*

But really.
I say remove reaper and any other group content for it. Make another version of the comp cape (bronze trim?) or something for solo players to obtain. Beside, once you got gold trim you still havend trully done everything on RS. The title is indeed misleading.

I once owned comp cape, but when raids came out... Havend really bothered with it anymore, and honestly, i don't really concern myself with it anymore. I'm glad i once achieved it.
Lets be honest here.. at the end of the day, it's just another cape, even if it's the best it's still just another cape.

I feel that one of the main reasons people play ironman isn't just because of the ironman mode exclusively, but because it is without TH and the sordid gist MTX gives too.

That's why I think lot of people dislike completionist cape as well, in the same vein.
