The XP is good for players under level 99, and it's obviously not supposed to compete with high-end skilling methods considering those are usually locked behind high requirements & quests. It's already quite AFK, easy to do with a movie next to the RS screen. The only thing that makes it annoying is that it takes so long to fill the entire cap.

It not being afk is a plus for me :o

We have no problem in getting people there to cap, even tho its not mandatory. But we do have a larger number of lower levels players, and as Fire says, the xp is good pre 99.

It's worth remembering that you don't have to cap - you don't have to have a citadel at all.

We got maxed citade for a long time, my clan Kirstunael was second small clan getting T7 soon after biggest clans got it.

We never made it mandatory to cap or do full caps. In past I made many fun contests and meetings there. It was very sad though, to see next years how everything became outdated. Xp was updated, , minor things reworked but citadel is badly missing updates.

We can't do anything there except upkeep now. We can't even build any new statue to represent us, anything that would interest people, bring some connection between clan and this building. Citadel looks pretty, yet it doesn't have anything really new or fun there.

New skills? Nothing?
New boss statues and fountains? Nothing!
Bigger warehouse? No
Sometimes when clan people have been busy after big updates or holidays time we don't have our most dedicated citadel builders all capping and it would be lovely if we had more resource from past weeks.

My clan people are doing PvM and warbands most, so... tell us how the citadel represents us? It is also one oldest clan in game, soon 11 years old. We got few people under 99 skills.

I dedicated a lot energy to make citadel fun and attractive place but... hoping that Jagex helps us with updates and makes it greater over time but sadly... not.

I don't play for xp, I like teaming, fun, people, challenging bosses.

It's so ironic, we host full raid everyday, feats often, I personally got 3 Daredevil accounts at p2p. I like Telos. I would cap with 3 accounts if I had motivation.

Can't do anything meaningful there, can't even build Yakamaru fountain, Telos statue, Vindicta and Gorvec dragon perch, Magister or Angel of Death.

Would it be fairly easy to add anything New there?
If skills are difficult to add, do something what you can do. That we see that you care for our effort and want to re-connect the clan spirit with the clans citadel.

Some ideas I had in my mind:

Sign of personal effort and dedication:
New titles/overrides to citadel builders. Does Jagex have any statistics, who capped for years? I think some people who I know did it 6 years nonstop...

For clan image and spirit:
Yakamaru themed avatar pool or fountains, new boss statues, dragon perch with queen black dragon, king black dragon, Vindicta and Gorvec. Or why even dragon? Maybe some clans want something else represent them? Something to pacifist skillers too.

Connect citadel building with construction skill rework.
It can be cosmetic or it can be construction skill plot. Would be nice to build something at the citadel what we can bring to PoH or opposite.

Connecting citadel with other skills like agility, invention, divination, etc is a dream, we would highly appreciate it.

Capping an ironman at 25% of the normal XP is as much fun as going to the dentist -- well, almost. So many good ideas to enhance citadel or the rewards for working up there. My fear is we won't get any great citadel updates until there is a way to MTX it.

Well people know that Ironman brings DIY restrictions, so why should they get a lot of XP from a group activity? It's still free Summoning XP :)

we have never had issues with people capping, sure not everyone caps but we have not had an issue where we could not keep our maxed citadel. We have been maxed for over 5 years and never in that time was the citadel in disrepair or dilapidated whichever option you call it.

I hope that everyone does include citadels as a top or near to top priority in the poll that is out. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

When recruiting people, some of them say: can't join, your clan has a citadel. I won't cap, I avoid any clan with citadel, I don't want to be begged or nagged or reminded to go there.

When I say to them that nothing is mandatory in my clan. When they do it, it's appreciated, when they do not, we're still fine most of time. Inside I think what if something happens and I exceptionally need their help?

Reading some comments - when citadel was great?

I was clanleader years before it. J Mods hinted to us that clans area is coming. We dreamed about it, discussed what fun we want to see there, we had a lot of enthusiasm but poor dreamers like we were - had absolutely no idea, no beta, no polls, we knew nothing about it. Clan leaders in this forums knew nothing about the grind that is coming.

When citadels were released a lot smaller clans collapsed, merged or lost their most curious and dedicated members who wanted to try out new content and felt they are willing to work for it while others step out. I saw it hitting us like a train if I let it go wild, so I did a lot to make citadels fun and make it great to us. Contests, prizes, recruits...

My clan had big dislike against it. I had to convince many. We adapted the update nicely. Clan leaders forum was big uproar against it because a lot of funlovers here had to force their people to cap and it was far from fun...

Everything was calming but now to us it became important if our people are logging in, coming online for citadel visit. Not even cap, back then we also had to meet visits number. Was it even 50 visits per week? While upkeep was taking under 20 clannys work.

Soon EoC destroyed us, a lot players ragequitted, part never returned or went OS later. Small clans who tried to build citadels saw the game dieing. We didn't know what tomorrow brings. When OS was released, small part of OS members came to EoC to cap, visit, help their clans while starting their accounts from zero in old game.
