I understand the reasoning behind having upkeep. It's similar to having high leveled gear, as started previously by several others, if you want something nice you have to pay to keep it nice. If you can't keep it nice then you can't keep it. It's supposed to be an achievement.

HOWEVER

Jagex's current stance on clans is to forget about them. Now we all know Maz and Matthe are doing their best, and the Ninja Team tried jumping in to help, but all that seems to have dried up lately. There is no sign for additional content and use for clan citadels on the horizon. The closest thing clans can see in their future is the clan rework next year and even THAT isn't definitive.
I am currently of the opinion that if no new content is being actively worked on for clan citadels, that upkeep can safely be removed. If nothing else at least temporarily. Balance it how you want. Increase upgrades again, keep the visitor requirement, whatever just do something.

From Mod Matthe's reply it looks like we're stuck with upkeep because it's an integral part of the citadel's design.

Hopefully they'll consider the suggestion regarding reducing weekly capping time to half an hour. This would make the task more palatable for many.

Yeah can't say I support this either, honestly upkeep is so easy to get, takes maybe 1 to 2 hours, especially if you have the avatar plot bonus buff too. I understand your reasonings for wanting it to be removed, but I just see the idea of it as a rip off almost. It's like having 5 people go every week to keep the citadel open, it's a way to get the community/clan working together for a common goal, and if upkeep is apart of that then upkeep is apart of it.

No support. I feel that tier 7 should still be an achievment for clans! The upkeep is already been decreased in the past, normally it should not be such a problem in larger clans.

No Support nothing is mandatory in my clan yet we always get more than double resources needed

if you get rid off maintenance can you giveaway free boss pets and hiend armour and weapons .

I cried getting to tier 7 the same as some of you rage quit dying at a boss every clan is different just because people find things hard or pointless isn't a reason to make it easier .

Advice to those who struggle with maintaining upkeep:

We have the conditional rule of mandatory capping, that if upkeep is being met regularly by those willing to contribute, capping is not required. However if upkeep is not met two days before the tick we require people cap going from lowest rank up until the upkeep is met.


Mandatory is such a dirty word.

We can upkeep our citadels just fine, thats not the point

Why does group and community work have to be forced? cant you do that without having to rely on a mandatory upkeep?

Im not a fan of all this forced group interaction in the game, sucks the fun out of it, same goes for the 6% avatar boost.
