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.

Again, a max cape won't cause this. The community having aged 8 years since 2007 and having less free time as a whole is what causes a no xp waste mentality. Only a select few will grind 2400 hours for a cape that is equal or lesser to current BIS items.
Furthermore those who put in the time, planning, and effort of maxing deserve at least a cape for it.
Don't hate it because you don't want to get it yourself or we end up with skillets voting no to pvp updates, pvmers voting no to pvp and skilling updates and we're back in a never evolving game.
Play the way you want to play and don't hate on how others enjoy playing

is it too much to ask that you make it have +5 in all offensive stats and +11 in all defensive, +4 str and +10 prayer like the original cape? only the +5 offensive will make it slightly supperior and it would really show ppl that their effort is rewarded accordingly. dont ask for max and max with firecape stats as two seperate questions. simply ask "should we release the max cape as it was in its original release?" thats what people want the original real deal. not some fixed and tweaked version of the real deal.

If Max cape is so bad, then lets get rid of ALL skillcapes? Why doesnt the runecrafting cape cause this "no xp waste mentality"? Does a RC cape make you wanna grind 500 hours of RC? Max cape isnt going to be best in slot, why would it make people start wanting to grind 1000s of hours to get a cape thats just basicly for looks? If people want a good cape, they would get a Fire cape.

"No xp waste mentality" is a dumb argument, as we already see this today, and it wont change a thing to have a Max cape, you're just taking away content players want, for a dumb reason. I promise you, you wouldnt notice anything different if a Max cape passed.

I especially love the ideas of the x+ skill level worlds, but still wondering if there will ever be a world dedicated solely to ironmen? I mean at this point they have become a significant enough portion of the community to deserve at least one world free from hell bent on doing one damage or killing just to kill in the wilderness.

I think giving the max cape the same stats as the fire cape is a bad isea better just give it the stats from the trimmed skillcape

Well, a guy who said he created the idea pages back was suggesting putting it as a zammy drop. That was what was originally proposed on the question answer stream. Zammy drops are quite bad right now. I think his idea was like Kril is made of a dark core, you get the core and shatter it then darkness goes away.

Btw, your concern was that it would make Sara more profitable. For that to happen, the item would need to sell well, which requires demand. That would imply that people actually want/need the item. On the other hand, suppose it's nearly-useless as you claim and then it wouldn't sell well and wouldn't impact profit very much. So there's no loser here. Dev time shouldn't be a factor. It should just be drawing an item and making it change a number setting that corresponds to darkness.

Please forgive my remarks earlier but I feel strongly about QOL - not just any QOL because some of them do give heavy advantages by making things faster. This, on the other hand, doesn't speed up anything. It isn't contributing to easy-scape but rather save-me-health-and-money-in-future-scape.

I understand your meaning of it but an added rare drop to any GWD boss is going to affect it. And seeing as this would be fairly unpopular item as its a "use it if it bothers you or otherwise if it doesn't effect you don't use it" well that would become an item worth hardly more than a steam battlestaff. I would hate to see Zamorak have another item like the steam battlestaff added it its already bad drop lists as that would make the GOOD items even RARER. Unless it was an additional add along drop like a clue, or pet, which then I would assume would be untradable (and probably not popular to obtain) then it would negatively effect drop tables

THAT!

If you add it, please make it just a cosmetical cape or something like that. This kind of updates ruined the original game. NO to max cape, NO to total lvl worlds, NO to elf city being so op (okay, too late for that)

Yes, the darkness canceller as an add on wouldn't affect drops and neither would it if it works like this. I luckily got a response from Mod Ronan on how some GWD drops work. The question was regarding ACB and Sara hilt, whether they share the same table.

Original message details are unavailable.
They are separate. A number from 0 - 127 is generated, if it lands on one number you have a 1/4 chance of a hilt and a different number gives a 1/4 chance of an ACB.

So if the darkness canceller just corresponds to a different generated number than those of the good drops, it will only add to profit. I think the popularity of it is being underestimated as well. If there's a toggle to revert it, then I'm sure many people who obtain it will try it and many will end up liking it. They would use it if it's cheap or untradeable. If it's expensive and tradeable, then no problem there - profit. Also bear in mind that zammy mages have least health of all spirit mages so perhaps, slayers would buy it.

Cold Vesper, your argument is kind of confusing because if you thought that it would add profit to sgw, then it would use a drop mechanic as above with a separate generated number...but then you were talking about reducing zam drop rates if the item were put there which assumes 1 number to access a shared drop table. Anyway, now we know it's the former, separate generated numbers, which only = added profit.
