I support... But don't support for a high score of it. Person who has been in clan longest and capping all the time but always be on top therefore new one else even has a chance.

Wat.. Everything on the Clan page is a HiScore.

That's like saying you don't support the 'kills' or the 'xp' columns because the people who've been in the clan for the longest will always be on top?

Caps is very different. Anyone can still achieve more exp as there is no time limit. For a cap you can only do 1 every week.

Not at all, because the same argument can be applied to both.

If myself and yourself were racing for the #1 Spot in XP on our Clan's HiScore page, let's assume we are both gaining XP at the absolute maximum rate in game - one which cannot be exceeded. If this was the case, then whoever joined the clan first would still always be on top, which is why Citadel caps being limited by the week is irrelevant - because everything in the game has an upper limit, even gaining XP, and even getting kills in the Wilderness. The Citadel limit is just harder-enforced.

Not that it matters anyway, because it's a completely moot argument. It does not negatively affect anyone in the slightest for there to be a counter on the Clan page for how many times people have capped. Honestly, who cares who has capped the most in a Clan? Having that counter there allows clan leaders tonnes of additional flexibility when creating their rank structure, and trying to record how many times someone has capped.
