If Player A leaves clan A, previously he was free to join any clan at any time with the consequence being he couldn't cap for a full week. Currently he can't join any clan for a full week, but once the week is up he is free to cap immediately.
What if, instead of forcing him to wait the full week, it was made so both would work simultaneously? For example;

Player A leaves clan A, shops around for 3 days and finds a new clan he really likes. He joins this clan and subsequently is a probationary member for the remaining 4 days (with some further restrictions to ensure avatar and clan based competitions continue to remain off limits). This is the most popular suggestion I saw on the previous thread. Jagex, start with this as your base, and work on this as a new system. I dont' care about feasibility, it's able to be done.

Suggestion regarding the probation / cooldown system: Fix guesting. You know what I'm talking about. It's been said a billion times. Find a way to do it. Make it so we have more options and control over guests, who join, etc. Do that and I'll quit fussing.

I second this, give us a whitelist plz. That would work great. Cheers

^ agree. But in all fairness I'm trying to understand their situation, and offer an improvement if that's all they're willing to consider.

Guest options. Even a FoC (friend of clan) tag for them? I would love that

edit: Like Blasty, I support clan merge options

and pretty much all of his improved guest feature suggestions.

The requirements of the update have been outlined. If you have any questions about the requirements, which they likely have good reasons for, then I'd suggest asking politely. Otherwise I'd like to see suggestions that are in line with the requirements.

I think it's absurd the manner in which some people are responding to this thread.

To stay on topic, I'd like to echo my interest in these suggestions in order:
1. Guest white list.
2. Ability to freely check whether guests are on cool-down in an easy non-intrusive way.
3. Ability for players to have a selection of preferred clans to guest in, or list of recently visited clans for easy joining.
4. "New clan mate" indicator purely for administrative purposes.
5. Support for clan merges.

That is why I said, they need to tell us what other systems are feasible, and not have us list all these ideas, as it's a waste of time. Unless they have no other ideas, and went with the first thing laid on the table. Owner of

The subtitle of this thread is Suggestions for Improvement . Improved guest features will improve this current system.

There's a lot of things I consider absurd about this update.

Then why lock the other thread? Of course the absurdness isn't just going to stop dead. Cause then we would be giving up on getting a new system. something we're not about to do. Owner of

Blasty,
We wouldn't be saying it here if MattHe hadn't unreasonably locked the thread we were originally debating on. Unfortunately he did, so even though he said that this is for suggestions it would be nice if we could have free speech in here or, to keep this one tidy, unlock the original.

It seems a very tricky problem.

Talking about tagging. This basically means that there's two clan lists. One with all the clan members. And one with all the restrictions needed. I don't see it really being different from current. Other than the data is sort of held on the clan rather than the player. Not sure if that makes a difference to things?

I'd like clarity on this: With the delay on citadel skilling. Where is the required restriction? Is it on the player gaining xp, or on the clan gaining resources? Can you have one without the other basically?

Ho Ho Ho!
