Guild capes > back banner
well they did try.
Banners stick high in the air and allow people from much farther away to see your symbol.
Capes get caught in jet engines and cause you to die.
NOCAPES!!! [/edna]
But seriously though, would be nice to have a few capes, if they can be figured out.
U R wrong!

Clipping is already bad enough without introducing mandatory clipping nightmares.
Polish > hype
It’s funny how really old games had no issues with capes (example : DaoC) yet the latest games suck balls with them.
As far as the wiki goes, that was pure speculation by the creator of that page. I would guess that the reason for no capes so far are clipping issues. I have clipping issues with my one-handed weapons on almost all my characters’ armor. =(
When someone told me they added back banners I was like: “OMFG Seriously? kitten yes!”
Then I saw them lol..

That right there was the first thing that came to mind when I first saw those back banners.

Solution: Cultural back-pieces.
That way we could just roll a human character for cape and no clipping issues on norn and charr! (Of course, knowing ANET, it would still clip with their own set… -.-)

On the other hand the DaoC capes were stiff little rectangular panels going down the back that bent in the middle as if hinged. I’ve worn a number of capes RL (decades of costuming) and I would hope that any GW2 cape would have flow and billow and drape. That it would look like something you could pull around yourself for warmth. There are so many styles possible: half circle, full circle, shoulder (think Musketeers), coachman, opera, all of them in multiple lengths …. and the more they can move and cover things, the more the clipping will suck. Also possibly people will complain “now you can’t see my armor!” which happens to be what capes DO, they cover things!
Still I’d rather have no cape than a sad little patch of fabric down my back that no one would actually wear other than for weird ceremonial occasions.
