Small percentage of clan-less people? More like half of the players
Non of the clans I'm in needs clan-only updates. We just want content we can do as a clan, but we also like to invite clan friends whenever we like. The majority of events we used to do are impossible now, due to minigames being absolutely dead, PvM being solo/duo based and warring not being enough fun due to F2P combat being trash. Some clan chat updates aren't going to make my members log more often into the game nor gives us something to do together. The updates "aimed at every player" weren't there, I can't say I've really enjoyed any major updates in the last years (other than some ninja fixes). They were probably great for PvMers though.
I don't think clans should have physical rewards either. Clans should be rewarding by being enjoyable and helpful. Currently ingame communication sucks, you can't really chat around during combat. Since a lot of players like combat, there's a lot less chatting. Training combat together is a bad idea at most spots, as you just slow each other down. Pre-EoC you would actually benefit from killing things together. Now it's just a tiny avatar boost which most people don't give a shit about.
Clans are indeed important in the community, but not because of the clan chat. Clans were far more important before the clan chat, as the game back then required far more teamwork. RS3 is quite a solo-game, so obviously clans aren't that needed in your day to day scaping. Content aimed at larger groups would spike clan activity, teamwork and communication. The problem now is that group content is either aimed at high levels with high gear standards (RotS, Raids) or requires no skill nor teamwork whatsoever (Citadel). Of course clans can't thrive in today's game, and clan chat updates won't solve that.
