This is true, and definitely understandable. But my questions is this:
Given the proclaimed 'high priority' given to clans and the relatively heavy workload that comes with Maz's long list of clan to-do's, it seems it would be more responsible for Jagex to assign at least one whole person to clans and nothing else . At least until our big, necessary fixes are done.
Mod Maz is lovely and does an amazing job, but we need more than a fraction of a person's time to see any real progress with the substantial number of issues that our collective clan community has brought forth. We have been adding to her list much faster than she can work through it. So why is this not possible? Why is one person too much for us to ask for?
Obviously, we don't really get a say in how Jagex's "resources" are allocated. And I'm assuming that you don't either. It is clear in all of your forum posts that you care about our community and really want to help us. So where is the roadblock? What exactly is standing in the way? And lastly, is there anything at all that we can do to help support you in supporting us?
Although we all get frustrated and outlet sometimes, at heart I think we all know that venting is not helping either you or ourselves. I respect that Jagex limits the kinds of things you can tell us about what goes on behind the scenes at HQ, but I hope Jagex understand that, for many of us, not knowing is the hardest part.
Blessed be.

Not ignoring the thread - the answers though are complicated so will have a chat on this end before I respond properly.
It is always worth remembering though that it is really unusual to have a mod dedicated to an area of the game such as we have Mod Maz - the only other examples I can think of are things like UI which have a direct effect on everyone who plays. Usually development occurs purely on a scrum basis so a team will work for a series of sprints on a task until that task is complete and then they will switch onto something else entirely, quite possibly completely unrelated. We purposefully do not do this with Clans.
But anyway, I'll have my chats and try to get you a proper answer.

What about the Ninja Team? Dukes? Team 1? Funnel? The list goes on...

Those teams are all scrum teams - they rotate on the type of content they do, rather than are dedicated to a single game feature. It really is very different.

I don't need a speedy answer, so please don't feel rushed. I'd rather give you time to speak to your colleagues so that you can give us something substantial. Thank you for passing it on!
And even if we can't have someone allocated to clans permanently, couldn't it be possible just for some of our bigger projects? Wasn't Chris L allocated to Araxxor for the duration of the project? It was his baby. Why can't Maz, or anyone, be allocated to the permissions rewrite for its duration? If we can't have permanence, its understandable. But I'm sure there is some point in the middle that we could meet.
I'm not trying to be stubborn or demanding. Mostly I'm just trying to figure out best I can where we stand. If it can't be done, then it can't be done and we'll all just have to live with that. But you can't blame a girl for tryin', eh?
If there's anything that we can do on our end to help you, please let us know. I'm sure many of us would be happy to oblige.
