Shauny has it done, but fitting it into QA and the release schedule is basically what needs to be determined. The way I see it the current poll is gauging interest to see where the clan update will fit in among the other possible updates. This convo took place in CLD on May 11 2018:
Lyrehca:
I thought the Ava rework wasn't expected until much later? It was the Game Jam stuff that he was hoping to get out soonish?
Jordi:
It's been thrown back and forth Lyrehca, correct me if im wrong but the last thing I read about it was "Why should I (Shauny) push Avatar warden for everyone at the qa guys, while i can just push the entire avatar rework harder"
I dont think ive heard anything else about avatar warden or avatar rework since that
Mod Shauny:
That's my stance
I want to push it all together as one update
Like if a update week had
Clan Muting, Clan Noticeboard improvements, Ava rework, Citadel improvements, Clan tweaks & improvements
That could be an update on it's own
Moltare:
The more likely it is to uphold a weekly update, the easier it is to get QA resource allocated
I agree with Shauny that partitioning it out will actually mean it takes longer to get done
Lyrehca:
How far off would that put the update from the expected end-of-May Game Jam updates, though?
M
od Shauny:
Depends, I've pitched it to Mod Osborne
He knows how bad I want the update in
It may get to a point where some QA may volunteer to do it for me during TAPP
Which I'm all for
Lyrehca:
Sooner would be nice, but there is still the likelihood though that we won't see it until after summer or bank rework or other top priorities, right?
Mod Shauny:
That's a strong possibility but I have the power of nagging and I have data to backup how this update would help Clans
Let's put it this way
I'm going to kick scratch and claw

Clans always lose out when polled against other "flashy" stuff
Yeah, and for no good reason. If clans are a main focal point, and are easier to manage, navigate and be involved with, that DRAWS in players. If it's clunky and stupid and just a basic overall desperate looking attempt at a gameplay system, people will dismiss it as not serious enough or fun to use and leave the game for something with more attention toward that aspect and area of gameplay. It's stupid and irresponsible to NOT keep clanning at the forefront of an MMORPG like this.
