New content will mean faster xp rates the higher you go, so while at the moment the highest agilty is around 70k an hour, new content could be developed at certain levels where xp rates of 500k, or higher could be introduced. Say, if you were at level 117, you would need another 27 million xp to get to 120, a new training method at that level of even up to 1 mill xp an hour would be possible and really expand on the game. Unfortunately, it looks as if the "I want everything NOW!!" crowd are going to win and it will just be a worthless cosmetic cape. More players need to look toward the future of the game and do whats best down the track, because it does not often coincide with what is best right now. Short term gains rarely pay out in the long term. Anyway, looks like the point is moot anyway, as the polls dictate the future once more
I have to agree with this. Kind of like a "go big or go home" mentality. If new training methods were introduced and XP rates increased dramatically, I probably wouldn't be against everything going to 120. But knowing Jagex, they would probably just raise the level cap then get around to introducing new methods in 6-9 to months. Leaving us to start inching toward 120 via gnome adv. and burning maple logs.
However, the flip side with these cosmetic capes is (playing devil's advocate) that they will actually ring "respect" back to skill capes. Let's be honest, most skill capes are so popular they've become more prevalent than rune full helms used to be in F2P back in the day. Perhaps this could be a way to restore honor back to your skilling achievements. BUT, not everyone wants to waste the time to get 8 more 99s within 1 skill. It's a catch 22. Maybe it could be viewed as an act towards the inflation of skill capes. The only capes of accomplishment that turns heads anymore are Max and Comp. I think a lot more people would respect a 120 Smithing or Construction again. And regardless of how easy the skill is, it's still a hell of a time investment and test of patience. If they're going to make these though, they really need to go all out. Better than the 120 DG cape, then bring the 120 DG cape up to par.
Not really sure how I'm going to cast my vote yet.. Considering it's probably going to win by a land slide, I suppose it doesn't really matter. No one really discusses the outcomes like we do here. They see a flashing banner in game and quickly click it and make a 3 second decision so they can continue to play the game without all the buttons an banners pointing to the poll tab.
