I really dont understand whats wrong with the elite skilling outfits, as they literally represent the skills in the game, i do not see how a outfit to reflect divination energy, is out of place, and i think this change is silly, you have a option to hide players cosmetics already. and like ,

if you ARE going to change it, why is it so... lazy? its just a recolor that got copy-pasted to the non-elite versions. magic golem felt cool, your a rock dude for being an elite miner, your a etherial spirit for being one with runecrafting. like... its unique and rewarding to the skills they are for

Part 2. is their a reason why we are removing peoples cosmetic items that they paid for/got from premiere tokens, and more. like.. theirs NO reason to remove them, when theirs much more intrusive cosmetics to the game, are we just now gonna have our items taken because jagex thinks "it doesnt fit with the theme"? how many people even own/and use these cosmetics that its this much of a big deal? just let people have fun and be happy. we have more santa hats and party hats then i have fingres, we have RGB santa hat but, flaming skull is the line?

maybe people can chime in.

The difference is that party hats and santa hats aren't just 1 giant particle generator

Myself and many been complaining about the elite skill outfits for the better part of a decade

When the cosmetic surveys were going on they were brought up every other conversation

The octopus backpack and the mimic helm removal is kinda a headscratcher for me. For the backpack, there are other items that are animals riding on us, like the 3 monkey heads or crab hat. Not sure what the difference between it and others like that is.

As for the mimic helm, I put it on the same level of odd as the Scarecrow mask. I don't see why it couldn't become an override like the Sinister Clown mask, Snowman head and Christmas Pudding head, which are also odd looks.

Not to say I use them, but I have seen others using them before

Octopus backpack was from the rare item tokens store which was from MTX

#

That's the only link I can draw why they might remove it

But not the other rare item token items? Seems weird

Maybe a jmod on the team hate certain items and want them gone
