I believe the poll question for the barrows loot broadcast should be modified to include that it would only broadcast to players nearby the chest for those who don't read the dev blogs. If the question is worded as vaguely as it currently is, then I believe more people would tend vote no.

Question: Should it be possible to trade an Oomlie wrap for a new bullroarer if yours is lost?

I literally don't know what those things are and I'm sure I'm not the only one. When will there be an "abstain" option on polls so that half the players don't just vote "yes" because they don't know or care about a question?

For max cape:

Could you polled out an option where a fire cape can be used against the max cape in order for the max cape to have fire cape stats? You would still have to earn the fire cape before it can be done and the max cape will not be any stronger than existing capes. C(h)vt(k)y

Max cape with no stats with the ability to combine it with (1) of the best in slot capes isn't asking for much, and you do need non-combat skill requirements for quite a few combat stat boosting gear such as barrows gloves/neitznot helm/ardy cloak 4. Stop arguing nonsense. The only incentive for maxing is for a cosmetic cape. So you think because outdated methods of giving combat content all should be the same? If that's the logic you're using, why not go further back to where there was no make-x, should we remove all make-x because some skills don't have it? or go back to where all useful combat items were tradable and buyable from stores[rune]?

No thanks. Need to put a stop to it somewhere, and this game, where we have a say in the content, is a good place to to that.

Give me a good reason why after thousands of hours getting max stats, that we shouldnt be able to get a cosmetic cape that shows people have all 99s

Because if he can't get one, no one else should be able to.

Yes to max cape.

What I will absolutely vote no to is max capes. These capes simply add more of this very toxic ''no xp waste'' mentality to the game, which I personally see as a big threat to the game. The capes are also not needed, people who have achieved level 99 in each stat already have access to every piece of content in the game basically, that's enough to me. A cape would only be used to show off and add more of the toxic mentality mentioned above. Should they pass, please don't ever make them the best cape in the game, just keep the stats the normal skillcapes have.

heritage put it quite nicely. Also you already have your 99 capes to show off your achievements, no need for further crappy updates to further intoxicate our community with xp waste crap.

And I just hate whenever people say this will encourage the "no xp waste" mentality as if it's an awful thing. I have that mentality and I only ENJOY this game nowadays when I achieved a lot or as much as I can within a certain time frame. I simply HATE to dawdle around socializing with random strangers and waste my time. These people who preach that "no xp waste" is sick and should be abolished and says everyone should just "enjoy" the game when their advice goes against the enjoyment of many others.

There are alot of people playing OSRS and most of them have gone through Runescape back in the old days. We are not getting any younger and if we spend time playing this game, we'd rather achieve milestones than wasting time in some place chit chatting the time away or any other xp wasting activity. Feels a lot like religion when these people dictate how we should play the game because their idea of what "FUN" is are the absolute one true path and those not following that are sick in some way (resemble anything?).

What I see now are just people denying the ability of others to have their own fun trying to get the item. Not trying to save the community at the slightest. C(h)vt(k)y

Well the Completionist Cape will probably be the next thing discussed if the Max Cape passes, that will be more controversial and will cause even more problems if they have that mentality (assuming it has same functions and features the Comp Cape had on RS2).

Tbh, this "no xp waste" mentality already has existed for awhile on here thanks to the Crystal Math Labs site, OS Buddy, and Jagex allowing people to afk train certain things. Besides this isn't really "Oldschool" Runescape anymore, although I really wish it still was. More like RS after HD now. Might as well poll HD soon if Max/Comp capes pass since everything else seems to be coming.

Ok, I keep seeing people saying that there should be no max cape because skilling doesn't contribute to combat. Let's make a list shall we?

Attack/strength/defence/range/prayer/magic/hitpoints ARE obvious.

Runecrafting: you need runes to cast magic spells.

Construction: various portals, an altar to train prayer, and food to heal yourself. Not to mention you're cured of poison upon leaving.

Agility: longer run times, access to various shortcuts for monsters and expansions to certain areas for slayer monsters.

Herblore: stat boosting potions for your melee, magic, and range. Plus brews and prayer potions.

Thieving: stealing gems and weapons, as well as runes.

Crafting: rings, dragonhide armor.

Fletching: bows, arrow, darts

Slayer: this skill is all combat, plus some of the best weapons come from it.

Hunter: chinchompas, salamanders

Mining: ore to make your metal armor and arrow heads

Smithing: to make your metal armor//arrowheads

Fishing: food. Gonna die without it.

Cooking: can't eat the food raw. We ain't got bunyips.

Firemaking: fire for cooking food, otherwise yeah this one is a no go.

Woodcutting: logs to make your bows and crossbow stocks

Farming: herblore supplies, for your potions.

Every skill helps combat in some way. This cape should be a best in slot. Nope.

That "no xp waste mentality" is really a weak argument tbh. Come on really? There are people that already fall under this mentality, and people that do not. People make it seem like its such a big deal. A max cape would not change that or make it worse I am sure. Especially if its not BiS cape.(which it wont be). If max cape is released you will not notice anything different. Play the way you want, and let other play the way they want.

I see no problem at all giving maxed players a cape to show their achievement, and i've yet to see a good argument not to release a max cape with skillcape (t) stats.
