I understand that the cape (I thought it was a shield but anyway) is important to some people to be a sort of recognition of their time spent on the wiki. But seeing as there are a lot more than 5 people that regularly frequent the wiki that will still not get the shield because of this low number of availability. I would personally have thought that simply increasing the number of shields available and having them given to whoever is thought to be worthy of one by the wiki admins would have been a better move than putting a quantitative worth on peoples' efforts on this wiki. As an example, a shield for me would be simply useless as I never play online at all, and if I really wanted to be seen by the totally judgey NPC's as a Loremaster then I would just edit the mod so I had that shield. Anyway, that's just my opinion on the matter :)
