Stop complaining, you are so selfish and ungrateful. From the very beginning the capes were meant to be gifts to the people who attended events such as Minecon. The cape mods and what not belittled theses gifts and made them valueless. So Mojang took it upon themselves to legally tell you to suck it up and stop "stealing" from these people.
Just as players have no right to complain that I payed $10 for minecraft in Alpha and they payed $25 after release, you have no right to complain about capes.
selfish and ungrateful? How is making a forum post about being sad about eula make them selfish? and as said before capes aren't game changing, there cosmetics which is aloud.
You don't have to pay for a cape in McCapes, do you? It's a mod, right? - why did they need to close it? Does the EULA talk about capes?
you didn't need to pay for that mod, but the new EULA said that only mojang can give out capes. so that means that mods like optifine are violating the EULA now.

Point: Capes have and intrinsic value. Freely available capes such as ones provided by mods diminish/abolish aforementioned value. There is no argument here. Don't believe me?
We have a lot of fun making cool capes for extra-special members of our community and Minecon attendees. We’d like to keep them as exclusive as possible. So, yeah, no capes please, even if you’re giving them away for free. [Source]
Oh, look, intended exclusivity resulting in value.
Remember that capes are the exception to this rule – you are not allowed to give them away or sell them. [Source]
Oh, look, again, not allowed.
Oh, and your absolutely selfish because you want to be given what you didn't earn.
Loop hole: Somebody makes a mod that is 100% their own code than produces something exactly like a cape but it is not one. It's just a rectangle that happens to be on the player's back that acts exactly like a cape but it isn't one thus is goes around the new EULA.
So you're telling me that, lets make this example.
(Its hard to tell if your sarcastic or not, i just hope you are)
A stuck up jerky rich kid with his mom that has ENOUGH money to go everywhere spends it on minecon flawlessly and argues the whole time he is there and gets a minecon cape.
Not everyone who attends Minecon is a "stuck up rich kid". I daresay most of them are not.
A lot of the kids I see there every year have one or two parents who saved up all year, and Minecon is their one vacation. I've seen families that have driven or flown across countries on funds they put aside over a long period of time, just to see their children's faces when they open those doors. Over the years, I've seen that look on children's faces so many times, their eyes lighting up when the ender portal entrance glows and fogs at them, the first time they see Markus up close, or meeting their favorite Minecraft personalities in person, and I can tell you, these are not children that get everything they desire. For many of them, this, and only this, matters. It matters enough that they found a way to get here.
Their Minecon cape is one of the few things they have to remind them of that feeling.
Now, you would say that this child - which has, I'll point out, done you no harm - deserves to have that feeling destroyed by others who envy what they have? What kind of message is that sending? Open defiance of this ruling is spitting in the face of everyone who realized a dream, and that is just petty. I'm sure you're a better person than that.

You're in no position to make that statement.
Its mojang, although they are digging a selfish hole for the whole community.
Its starting to have that steriotypical game update feel that the developers CAN do what they want but the users of that game will just leave if they dug more of a problem effecting the players gameplay.
There is no way for them to stop people from using capes, there gonna find a way no matter what, even if its used personally and secretly, its better then nothing. i'm not trying to choose a side but it seems to myself that mojang may be destroying their own game doing stuff like this.
Nope, I'm being completely serious. I'm also unbiased, as I've never/have no plans of ever attending Minecon, and could care less if I ever have a Cape. Sure they are cool, but I don't have one, and it certainly doesn't bother me. Life isn't fair. There is no such thing as straight up "protecting the little guy", without it extending to the "rich and spoiled."
This sounds pretty personal to me. Oh, and I didn't make that statement. Capes were give per Mojang's decision, not mine.

So, I've thought of this, capes are simply cosmetic, they don't change the gameplay, so why make a big deal over it? Those who've earned a cape, that's great, but why does everyone else feel the need to have one? What impact will it really have on your Minecraft experience. I mean, yes, it looks cool, does it really serve anyone a big enough purpose to feel the need to find mods to get them yourself? I just don't understand what the big draw to capes is. Are people just jealous that some people can have them and others can't? Why can't we just play the game?

The problem with MCCapes (from my knowledge anyways) was the fake MineCon capes. Mojang wants MineCon capes to be special, so when people started getting them with the mod, they got upset.
Minecraft capes have intrinsic worth due to their rarity. Therefore, as in other forms of tender representing assets, making non-official capes is very much like running a counterfeiting ring. Sure, the U.S. dollar is worthless and having one doesn't make you rich, but having a bogus one makes you a criminal.
So, yeah. This seems like something Mojang would be against.,

Curse PremiumI'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.

technically, aren't you paying for an optifine cape? as donating is the only way you can get it...
