Well? Do you?

For me, it depends on the class. Some of my characters (ranger, dervish, warrior, ritualist) look awesome with capes, and personally the non-caster classes seem more like a cape would look good on them (just in terms of lore and fantasy RPGs).

I keep the cape hidden on my assassin, an assassin should not run around with a big flowy cape. Plus, I like her to be very streamlined-looking.

Always display the cape. Unless the clipping issues are HUGE.

No, cos they're teacloth sized (and clip through most of my chars' armour/weapons).

depends on armor indeed... doesnt go with some armor.

Like for male warriors i would like to see a white mantle size cape... and a hooded cape would be nice also... but thats not the issue here

I have no guild right now, so I have no cape at all.

(I'd love a plain dye-able cape for guildless characters. Obviously no actual stats and purely aesthetic.)

I display it unless it looks really bad with the character's armor.

You know you can make your own guild, complete with cape, for very cheap.

I have never liked the capes, I think they're dorky and was overjoyed when they gave us the option to turn them off.

If it matches my armor I'll wear it, but after a while I usually hide it anyway.

With my main character I always show the headgear and never the cape.

With the rest, I hide the headgear and show the cape in outposts and show the headgear and hide the cape in explorables.

depends on the character im playing. dont get me wrong, i like my cape, but with clipping issues i avoid wearing it on my dervish and ranger. it in fact looks good on my warrior. plus, the color doesnt match ANY of my character's outfits.

In town, I wear the cape - A guild leader's got to represent!

In explorables I take it off - Don't want to get it soiled.

I'll wear it with most characters. But some of the classes with long armour, like coats or dresses, the cape often just looks bad, so I'll turn it off.

Nope. My girlfriend designed the cape for my guild. And I am the ONLY ONE in the guild who hates it, so I'm overpowered... as the leader.
