I read the extracts from J4ron about Jagex's ideas for Clans & found I have just resigned acceptance that the last thread holding many in this game is going to be shattered beyond repair. Do Jagex actually have anyone who socially plays this game in a non aggressive , mature and social way?
My Clan is a family. Those of you who know our history know we were born in fire from a very nasty divorce. For a few years we fought tooth and nail for our right to exist, we fought for control of stars (of all things !) and the right to control them in our world. Where you have competition for servers, worlds, skill plots there is aggression, the toxic player base flocks to the scene, there is bullying, harassment that extents beyond Runescape ( and in our case bullying by Jmods), there is hate. Yes there is adrenaline, bonding over a common cause , motivation but there is also Clan instability, great member turn over, the toxic environment created in fighting for your space invades the Clan environment. Most important it is not sustainable for an extended period of time. You can poo-hoo what I say and know better but I have lived a version of what Jagex are proposing & never ever want to go back there.
These days we are at peace and a Clan cup was the extend of our fighting. We are a tight knit family but think of us as a grown up family. We don't get together enmass. We have a home world but not everyone is on it, groups maybe Bossing, pvm or chilling skilling, maybe with Clannies, friend groups or combinations. We all have different priorities are doing different things but talk and help each other without needing to be beside each other. We have not actively recruited since I took over leadership, and yet we are stable, a few go and a few come. I think of us as a grown up family that come together for special events but other than that talk and are there for each other.
Don't force us to regress to a teenage family fighting to hold the right to be in rs
