You get a 'Yes' vote from me.

The people who complain would complain anyway because that's all they ever do . It's optional content. Make as many excuses as you want, but it is optional content. Don't like it, don't use it.

How far have I gone past 99?

No idea, how far?

But anyway, the point is that the current skill cap is 99, and changing it to 120 wouldn't adequately replace the purpose of the prestige system. It wouldn't solve the skill cap problem and wouldn't address anything about the 200m experience cap. It would however force a player who enjoys playing the game with his or her level 99 maxed stats to further level his or her stats to 120 to remain competitive. And what happens when a lot of people have reached the 120 cap? Do we raise it again to 150? And on and on? Should we just keep having Jagex's development team create super-high level content indefinitely and abandon everything else so that newer players can never catch up?

I'm not sure why this argument makes me a hypocrite, but either way a skill cap of 120 wouldn't fix anything so hopefully you can at least understand that.

Listen , my name is Jacob Besser the controller to the account arbernix. I am 4 levels from my max cape I plan to max this weekend. I love the idea of a prestige system but I don't want to see a new hi scores system for it. I am also an avid Arcanists player. It just so happens that there is a prestige system in Arcanists. Rather than have the prestige system effect hi scores I'd rather see prestige rank marked as a badge. The skills badge would be located on your skill cape, max cape, comp cape. The badge would show your prestige in the skill. I love the idea of giving me and other max players other things to do once we've maxed, but hear this. I need not be the number 1 ranked player in rs to prove I'm the best. I know how good I am and I'd gladly race Suomi doing agility laps any day, co op slay etc. I'll show my worth to any person in game when ever they want to see what I can do first hand, But those number one ranked players worked their fingers to the bone and should be glorified on one hi scores table alone, and for eternity.

But what if I earned the same amount of experience as them (200m), but started later and even though I reached 200m faster than they did, I can never be ranked or "glorified" on the high scores as number 1.

Here is a suggestion that I would love everyone to read:

Thinking about this has given me an idea that can make everyone happy. Instead of instantly adding 120, what about adding 105 first. Then Jagex can make content up to the new level to keep up with it. (Because adding every skill right to 120 would be too much content, would take months if not a year to make). Then after a few months, add it up to 110. Then add new bosses / content that keeps up with it. Keep doing this method with delay between adding levels. 120 however, could not be the end. This method could take the levels up to match the 200m xp cap. This way, its a win for everyone. The people who have already gotten 200m xp log in to be automatiicaly 105, then 110 and so forth. The people who are at 99 and lower, will have a advantage because the items adding at 105 will make faster xp gains towards 200m xp. This could leave 1 hiscores for now, and later on add something like prestige. You could even boost the xp cap up to 500m xp and add the levels that high someday. Have it so that every 10, 25, 50 or so levels you gain a different rank in that skill, along with the idea of a different colour to trim your skillcape and other bonuses. I believe that this is the best way to move forward, as players can keep up if adding levels slowly. New harder bosses, better armour and everything that comes with it would make RuneScape even more awesome. With this being said, BEFORE THIS IS ADDED, they need to add more lvl 80 and 90 stuff before moving on. Please give your feedback on this IDEA, im curious to hear other thoughts on it. With time, this idea could be perfected with other suggestions and could be become a actually thing to vote on in the future. Thoughts?


EDIT: Another benefit of this system is that people who want skillcapes still get them at 99, then if they feel up to it they can go for the new higher level of cape above it and so forth, it would make people want to max xp even more.

The poll, and this discussion should be only for players who have at least 1 99 skill.

MOST of the votes for "yes" or people who like the update do not have a single 99. They have no right to be in this poll.

Because I haven't done something doesn't mean I can't or won't.

It also doesn't change the fact that exp is wasted to some people, and not just figuratively, but literally. They should have the right to accrue further levels with it, even if said levels
do absolutely nothing

and you know this how? not all ppl who like it/vote "yes" post here. and at the same time, some ppl who vote "no" only do that because they won't use it, which is also not fair to count.
