Heres an opinion from somebody who thinks Comp should be ripped from the game right this minute. Having the grace period means people don't rush through content quite so fast. The longer the grace period, the more time people feel they have to do content, the bettor off the game is in the long run. We want to encourage people to do things other than GRIND GRIND GRIND.. Longer grace periods lets people feel like they can do that. Like they can actually stop and breathe in this game.

Just, something to think about.

Big but in here now - players never had something like a grace period when it comes to keep their quest cape, they never had something like a grace period to keep their max cape - and losing a max cape has some big impact on your power as a player. But in here we're literally talking about some cape, that has zero effect whether you own it or not - unless the new piece of content gives you some kind of benefit - but that's still not related to the cape directly.

Grace periods were - for good reasons - introduced for content, that is either time locked (like that effigy d&d for the MQC, that took a year) or some very long time to complete (I think they only did that for archaeology so far, but considering you also lost your max cape without a grace period, it basically just didn't forced you to entirely complete the skill for a couple of months). It isn't a tool, that should be abused for players who freak out just because that thing isn't glued to their backs for a couple of days. I say it again - they certainly did worse to get it in the first place.

And as I said - the trimmed req - as it stands as some random non-completable achievement - shouldn't even exist in the first place - and it's not super unreasonable to assume players will either have finished the regular comp one by now - or are close to. Big Deal. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

ive never liked the grace periods, i enjoyed the fact my trim use to disapear just because of 1 small thing or even a large thing. it fits with what is suppose to be. its suppose to be the bis for completing the game.

when it grace periods first came out. i was feeling like my hand is being held in hoped i dont throw a tantrum that my favourite toy is gone for a little while i dont want that. i dont need that. now people wanting it due to a trim req takes longer than a week? its a trim req they arent suppose to be done easy peasy they are long reqs. look at all the others. i know many have been made easier time wise like statue isnt a weekly anymore etc. trim is suppose to be for the ones who complete the game more so than just levels and music unlocks. i also think that shouldnt be babied with grace period. you want it? earn it

but either way id rather they have no grace period. but i 100% know that that is not the supported way community feels. idk why honestly apart from just wanting things easy...

+1

No support.

Also like said in the above post, if anything they should add "grace periods" to other capes like max/qpc as if comp can have them so can the others.

Actually MQC has had grace periods, for the effigy incubator.

And also, regular quest cape doesn't need a grace period because a new quest coming out isn't going to time lock you. A new quest is something you can log in and do as soon as it comes out. It's not the same as these long new comp reqs coming out that are completely time locked.

This new farming update where you need 2.5mil reputation should have had a grace period also. It's completely time locked, being that you can only grind so much reputation in a day.

If you don't already have it done, it takes several weeks to complete. We were given no warning this would be made a trim req, so those of us who didn't have it done got completely screwed over and now losing our trim capes for weeks or more.

This particular update should have had a grace period of a month, due to it being completely time locked. Wish Jagex would think more and be a little more considerate when making these new comp/trim reqs for the time gated ones. Lately i've had my trim cape taken away more time than i've actually been able to wear it. Grace periods for the new time gated reqs isn't really asking for a lot.

Literally written that incubator had had a grace period. Dunno what you're even trying to tell me? Grace period was there, since it literally was impossible to do it way earlier than that. Not because of some random freakouts of somebody not having the cape for a couple of days.

That you do not have the farming reputation achievement when it was released is basically the proof you are no comper - you do nothing more than the bare minimum to maintain this cape (i.e. whatever the game tells you right now) and the second they add years old content to it you're getting kicked out of it - and start complaining once more. Considering this achievement was available for 4 years, you basically already had had your grace period for it hundred times over - you just had let it pass, solely for the reason the game hasn't told you it's needed for the cape - it should have been required for the cape from day 1 (+a few weeks of grace when it first was released, since while it's not a hard time lock, it takes a while), it just was a bug fix it happened now - like the lots of other things they've not added in all those years to keep that cape available to players who obviously are no compers.

They also wouldn't need to have added a grace period to the port scrolls, since you basically could have done them somewhen in the last decade , yet they did, since this is actually a hard time lock - it will take months if you just start now collecting them (which basically every comper should have done by the way in the past decade ) - and there isn't really some form of bypass to it.

But reputation. Not really. Get yourself a couple of ultra growth potions and get it done. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Truth to be told - if you start failing about years old content, you will never get happy with that cape - you'll lose it over and over again, the second they'll add something new or acknowledge something old - leading to more and more complains. And there are lots of things that should be on this cape, yet are not. Things someone who really is about completing things will widely have completed the second they become requirements. You basically could have had every single thing they've added to those capes last week. Every. Single. Thing.

But yeah - said it back then in october - doing 100 of those events is not even something completable or unlockable (doing all events once unlocks at least that teleport, which qualifies it on the 'unlockable' side) - shouldn't be part of the cape. They got rid of it. That's the other side of the medal. If they can't foolproof non-completables - they should get rid of them as requirements - they're fine as achievements, but they do not belong on those capes. Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2
