Hello Jagex and my fellow pures,
I'm the leader of the pure clan Eruption of Pures. I have been around the pure community for a very long time. I have seen it "evolve" time and time over again as clans "adapt"... for reasons that are quite simple: To gain unfair advantage over opposing clans.
Pre-eoc, we witnessed the introduction of Turmoil which in fact gave an incentive for pures to quest their accounts to 30 defence. What incentive is there to get 30 defence now? None. Absolutely none. Clans like Corrupt Pures, The Last Pures and Fatality have cemented their mindset: They are no longer pure, by your own terms.
You are the game developers, for years the clan cup has been up 1-25 defence. Please do not buy into what the leaders of said clans are proposing to you. 30 defence was never pure then, it's not pure now and I hope it will never be.
In addition, a couple of months ago when those clans have decided to ruin their pures and get 30 defence, they claimed it was because, and I quote, "Jagex isn't gonna host a clan cup for pures anyway". Now all of a sudden when you announced that there will be a pure category they are twisting your arms and trying to make you change the rules. For what reason? It makes no sense.
They don't represent the pure community. Final Ownage Elite and Eruption of Pures are the pioneers of the current pure community. EoP has no accounts above 25 defence, and neither does Final Ownage Elite.
I hope you take what I said into consideration, do not revert your decision. Trust in your decision making ability because I assure you 1-25 defence is the best way to handle this.
