Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey explains that the new Mage cape is tradable because the Doom of Mokhaiotl has no defined end, so there is no natural point at which a cape could be handed out.1
  • Gnomonkey thinks the Doom of Mokhaiotl having purely tradable drops is perfect, because it pushes players to go as far as they possibly can.2
  • Gnomonkey says tradable drops are not gatekeeping: a player who only reaches cave five still has a chance at loot, but being better is rewarded with more loot, not only faster kills or less supply use.3
  • Gnomonkey calls the Doom of Mokhaiotl the only content in the entire game where being better yields more loot, so making everything tradable increases profit.3
  • Gnomonkey would rather get a stack of tradable capes to sell than pile up untradeable capes he cannot use, and thinks the people who delve very deep should be the ones supplying the drops.4
  • Gnomonkey says Jagex cannot track and bans buyers of capes any more (he claims they gave up years ago) and that he has seen many bot Inferno capes and quivers, so he doubts untradeable capes are really prestigious because 'you got it yourself'.5
  • Gnomonkey says PKers who do no PvM are incentivised to get a cape that gives a lot of damage, so he thinks skipping the middleman with a tradable cape is nice.5
  • Gnomonkey likes that a tradable cape lets legitimate players who are good at the content get paid and removes the need for a shady underground black market, calling it neat that this once you can just buy the cape.6
  • Gnomonkey dismisses the argument that the cape must be untradeable 'because that is what Old School is', and wants players to look outside the box since this boss is about making money: the better you are, the more you make.7
