Hello Gentlemen.

Thus far I haven't really been posting, I have only simply been reading the perspectives shared here. I thought I'd take a small opportunity to share some of my views on it once more...

@Redtunnel's comments.


These are notions I completely agree to, with some minimal effort and coordination, we could bolster important clan updates, that we all want to see, via Runelabs. All it takes is dedication, and indeed, Runelabs is only one way to go about it.

Recently I discovered a truly remarkable and one of a kind App, created by: (I think his username is Skillbert.) He is someone who saw a problem, so took the time to amend it, and I'm sure hundreds by now are revering his work. (Known also as the Alt1 toolkit.)

@Scret/Andras comments.


Your points I also agree with, why should we have to do what Jagex should? Why should we have to give it the time of our busy lives? The fact is--we shouldn't--it's stupid that we'd have to.....However.

Let's get real, it must be blatantly obvious Jagex has better things to do then to listen to whining clan owners, including myself mind you, they have made that clear to the point as to be p****** on us without the respect or decency of calling it rain. (Forgive the crude dramatization.) And the people who do care about it, such as the esteemed Mod Maz and Matthe--just don't have enough power alone to get some of these things done, at the pace we'd like to see them.

So then it comes down to this:
Why shouldn't we develop our own updates and solutions?
If we can do the job better and faster then Jagex can, and provide a community service, we should in a way, feel obligated to do so, and coordinate how to go about that with others. And not just because we should, but because we can-and they can't......

Post 2/2.

I believe some of this has escalated to the point where, we either do what we can for ourselves, or we just stop complaining, and wishing for the day that never comes. Because if nobody is willing to step forward and evaluate the damage and say: "You know what, this is enough, I will put effort into this myself." Or even something simpler....Make a well explained, soundly presented Runelabs update-then advertise it...

Not as a single person, or by one forum signature link to: "click here and support my Capping tracking idea." I mean link it to your website, spread the word, have others link it to their clan websites, maybe ask the founders of Runeclan, a place that gets hundreds of visits a day if they could help promote it.

I will be honest, my knowledge on this stuff is far inferior to L0NE Druids, and my laziness about it likely surpasses his (and other peoples) keen go-get-EM spirits. However I am willing to take some of these notions to heart, and at least make some attempt, or support in any way I can the attempts, of people taking action and coming up with reliable solutions or bringing what we all want to see, to everyone.
As Redtunnel said, giving up isn't the answer.
To add to that. I'd say, giving up is the easy way out.

@Gluepot/Everyone


THAT is something Jagex CAN do and IS good at. Lots of little things, and bug fixes. I suppose if 2016 was dedicated to lots of little reworks and patches, then it could still be a good year. All the little annoying things, but not so big that we always give mind to, can improve. Maybe something small like....faster response time to entering the Citadel, or more reliable broadcasts, no idea, but little things to make life easier. Versus massive projects that clearly are somehow crippling them to accomplish.

I do agree with Ranny's above post, we can't give up on it. We can see clans are integral to the community and are not getting the love they deserve. Yes 2016 is a big year with big things going on but we do have the opportunity to make change happen.

Important things to note is the new approach Jagex is taking to updates - 1 large update per month that can funnel into the other updates of that month, using the resources more effectively.

Lets try to use that to our advantage and get Jagex to do a community themed month or something similar. There could be a big focus around co-op content for that month and it could mean that Jagex would have resources available that might be usable in new clan content and improvements no matter how big or small they are.

Also (although this is a longshot) the Runelabs month where players are being tasked with designing an entire area. What if we pushed for the clan cities discussed back in the days of 2011 when citadels appeared before us and we were in awe. I remember the "what if my clan could have their POH's on streets around the citadel", "what if allied clans citadels would appear nearby or have portals that linked to them", "what if we could set up markets and build our own community/city based around the POH's and Citadels", there could be a lot of potential there.

Just some suggestions and throwing them out there, i'm sure others have better ideas, we just need to rally together if we want to see anything change.


P.S.

As a side note I do like the idea of having a much bigger, important area for clans that has more things to do and could play a more integral part to the game. Regardless of if it is a player/clan co owned city or not. You could do a ton of things with it.

If anyone wants to discuss it further with me in game please do, I love talking about crazy wacky ideas and finding inspiration for them by bouncing ideas off one another. (Jmods too if you think it might be an option!) :)

Sounds like we know what 2017, 2018 and 2019 are going to be like then, too! :D
