Salutations,

I heard a rumor that Jagex plans to update the clan administration mechanics. The clans are a crucial part of the Runescape community, and I am very hopeful that this rumor is true because the clan system mechanics could use some love, imho. Even if this rumor is false, here are my thoughts on a clan loaning and vault system anyway, haha.
So, here is something I would like to suggest since the clan system is on the menu:
Have a clan vault for clannies to loan gear and drop supplies in for new players or bossing.

The first thing that should be addressed here regarding the vault and item sharing (not the loaning) is that there should be different sections of the vault that are only accessible to certain ranks; this way, a brand-new recruit cannot empty the vault. Also, there should be a GP value limit on withdrawals per player and maybe per hour.
In this way, recruits and low ranks can only have access to the vault section corresponding with their position in the clan, and higher ranks likewise.
The GP withdrawal limit prevents a player(s) from emptying a vault worth, e.g., 20m because there is a 4m limit (however, this wouldn't stop multiple colluding players from doing it all at once, but the hourly limit would). Perhaps have a max GP limit for the items available to be withdrawn as well to stop clans from whinging about 100m being removed overnight or something (this would mean that the vault will never have over 20m/40m worth of items to be scammed over a period of hours).
Heya

Regarding the clan loaning system — which is probably the more useful suggestion of this thread — make it so that you can loan multiple items at once and allow augmented items to be loaned (if they lack the required level they shouldn't be able to wield/use), as well as degradable gear; just make it so the lendee cannot change the perks, destroy, break, etc. A loaner can either set it in the vault as free to lend but with a limit on days (say 3-5 days max for a loan period) or charge a fee — the fee is more to offset the cost of repairing high-level equipment in my mind, but it could be to make a profit as well.
Regarding the normal peer-to-peer lending system: make it so that a lender can lend multiple items (3-5). Again, it would be nice to lend degradable and augmented gear; just make it so the lendee cannot change the perks, destroy, break, etc.

Now, if you're wondering: "Well, why have the vault?":
Firstly, the vault is where the clannies' gear being loaned is housed, so why not allow supplies as well?
Secondly, you could have cheap gear and supplies (food, pots, ores, etc.) available for new players — it is a common complaint that they spend all their GP on equipment and supplies and then have to grind for GP.
Thirdly, and less importantly, it would be a place for PvM clans to have standard supplies for bossing for players new to PvM. For those of us who commonly trade supplies to players new to bossing, this would allow easier supply sharing because instead of trading individual players, you could simply drop some supplies for a few new players, and they could withdraw it.

How it could be accessed: perhaps from a clan vault clerk at the Grand Exchange or, for the sake of ease, the bank clerks.
