Add a clan dragon emote for players who's clan has built a clan dragon:
Original message details are unavailable.
Emotes seem to be added fairly frequently in the game. But then we are talking about unlocking an emote with some signal from the citadel saying that a dragon has been achieved.
So having seen how the citadel programming and 'surface' programing are two separate areas, does this make it a lot more difficult than say the WE2 emotes or the Valentine ones?

A little. But 'do you have a citadel with a dragon' is a quality that can change at most once a week, rather than every few seconds as many things can (resources, visitors, clan members etc), so it's less of a problem than some citadel data access issues.
WE2 and Valentine emotes are just based on a tickbox on you saying "I have unlocked this emote Y/N" -Y-> Be able to do emote.
A citadel dragon emote would be more like "I can get my clan information right now Y/N" -Y-> "Last time my clan information was updated, we had a citadel with a dragon in it Y/N" -Y-> "The colour of my citadel's dragon was X/Y/Z" --> Be able to do emote X/Y/Z.

How about a greater cost for the caster of the group teleport instead?
Putting the onus of cost for teleporting potentially 500 people on one player's shoulders is not something I'm really keen to do.
Feed back to us: Should we investigate the feasibility of offering a "Target players pay their own way" vs "I shall pay the fee myself" choice when casting the teleport spell?
For new people in the clan, who dont have orts cant be part of it, or are we stopping the orts being removed from our inventory when changing clans?
The option to pay with orts will be purely an option; they can pay with gp if they're sh ort. If they're broke enough to have neither... teach your clan members how to mils already
If the lodestone clan teleports aren't instantaneous or faster than normal lodestones, those are the clan portals that will not get used by many as they'd rather just meet up at the clan camp or elsewhere instantly...
The reason lodestone teles aren't instant is in part combat balance, in part balance against regular tele spells and in part balance against using them constantly for bank runs. None of these issues are such a concern with clan group teles, and the cost of clan group teles will be enough to justify making the transition instantaneous. -
