Or everyone can stop bitching about lvl 3s having access to a skill that we ALL can enjoy.

Seriously why all the Skiller hate?

The game updates shouldn't revolve around or cater to a small minority of players (level 3 skillers), it never has in the past and shouldn't in the future.
It does all the time. You keep saying this but it's blatantly incorrect.

NOT appealing to skillers and pures is the same as only catering to the high levels.

When has Jagex EVER based their updates around pures? I've been a pure for the better half of the 10 years i've been playing and if anything it's been the complete opposite. For many years Jagex barely even acknowledged the existence of pures. My point is you require quests and miniquests for other lower level agility courses, why wouldn't it be the same for the best courses in the game which are far superior?

Graceful outfit looks ugly. Is that the best you could think of? I tried being nice and giving constructive feedback but maybe you guys answer better to criticism. Something that difficult to earn should look really nice and at the bare minimum compliment the 99 agility cape. It doesn't even match it.

At the very least you could make the outfit that is going to take 60 hours of our lives to earn not so ugly.
I wouldn't say it looks that bad. In my opinion the design of the top and legs are pretty unique, with those torn parts and different shades. Good Runescape fashion XD Feel free to take a look at my suggestions: 200m xp prestige

This should make everyone happy.

I agree with all those except Rellekka... To do just about anything in Rellekka you have to complete the Fremmenik trials so it makes little sense to be able to gain access to their agility course without completing the trials.

Better?

i dont see why it has to be a quest for any of them other than canifis/ape/dorg. Though granted, frem trials fits nicely there. For ardy i dont see why it cant just be like ive mentioned before, a short climb up obstacle with a def/str req, 90 agl is already a pretty tough req.

Jagex has been known for being pure haters. I hope the old school JMods aren't the same.

It shouldn't look bad at all though. It's supposed to be GRACEFUL. It should look exceptional. It is way below par right now.

So much for my statement being blatantly incorrect.

And there's a big difference between being "pure haters" and requiring high level requirements for high level content. Level 3s and pures are voluntarily choosing to place those restrictions onto themselves.

Also, it has already been mentioned that having a weight of -20 will have the same drain rate as if you weighed 0 kg. This makes the Graceful outfit useless as I can get under 0 kg for most skilling tasks with just boots of lightness. #WhyWasteMyTime

Yeah I think Canifis/Ape/Dorg and Fremmy deffinately need quest requirement but the others I don't really think they do. Sorta getting convinced that Legends would be ok for Ardy as it gives the highest level course some higher requirements and the Graceful cape does look like Legends cape. But not too bothered whether or not Ardy gets a quest requirement or not.

I kinda agree with this... I would like it to have some sort of set effect such as faster run energy restoration or something. I actually liked how agile had defence bonus as that + negative weight made it very good skilling armour especially when skilling in a place you run past monsters.
