Hi, I'm on my knees screaming at the abyss and begging to my non-existent god that when 2B capes come to the game they won't actually cost 2 bil just for +4 prayer. Especially if they have the same effect as the cape of accomplishments with 200m xp. Imagine getting 2B construction after your wife and kids have left you, and you are so broke you can't even cough up 2 billion coins for the cape.

In all seriousness, 2 bil is an outrageous price for the cape. Simply put it's a complete waste and a sad excuse for a gold sink. It should be easily accessible to those who has achieved the mastery. The price difference from 99,000gp to 2,000,000,000gp for the same cape (+4 prayer and style) is unjustified.

You pay for the cosmetic appearance and visible bragging rights. That's already plenty. No one is forcing you to buy all the 2b capes and if you buy one it'll most likely be to complete a fashionscape set because you think that specific cape looks cool.

PKH is at the stage where cosmetics are about the only thing the active players are willing to drop GP on. PVM drops can be gotten with relative ease

I dread the day my 2b wc/fm capes are seen as a bragging right.

I would 100% agree with you if I saw staff and developers agree to re-release cosmetic items such as the gnome scarf and previous holiday items for gp to our active players, but I don't see that happening (because they're afraid of the 8 manchildren who would feel invalidated as veterans). I do not see this as some fashionscape scenario. I'm not saying it should be a 10k cape, I'm saying it shouldn't be 2b. I'd be alright with 500m, hell I'd be okay with 1b.

Just because x wont happen y (which is unrelated) has to be stopped. 2b for 2b xp. C'mon. That's a GP per xp.

If that's the only reason people don't want to pay 2b for ALL capes, well, fuckin' make the con cape free and the rest 2b.

Mfw I have to pay for how much xp I earned on top of paying/spending time to get the 2b in the first place. My brain is actually expanding and throbbing with immense power right now.

You'll pay and you'll like it! (the cape I mean, the price, maybe not...)

The 2b capes + the skillcape perks would be a nice small update while CoX is being developed!
