Future of clans 2021

Considering I was contacted earlier today by someone very dedicated to getting a clan leader discussion up and running, it'd be fitting for me to at least leave a reply here.
I'm the leader of an old clan filled with a bunch of older players who want to skill in peace without too much drama. Having this group of patient skillers means we quickly maxed out everything in the citadel, with every clanmate being at least level 99 (if not 120 or 200m) in every citadel skill. The clan battlefield is not used, the keep is not really used, and players mainly cap for the avatar bonus in other skills.
Now you have a good idea of the group of clanmates I represent, you can also imagine the type of updates that we would appreciate/be interested in, and those that we'd leave alone. Things like additional plots (to quote one of my clanmates; 'where do all these fish at the cooking station come from?!') or upgrades would probably be appreciated. Clan competitions would depend on the competition, they liked the acorn challenge as they are all mad hoarders, and we could round up enough people for most of the skilling competitions. Changes to kicking/recruitment/battlefields would mean nothing to us though.
Now, speaking as someone who deals with a LOT of player issues on twitter, a frequent complaint is clans getting harassed or stalked because, you know, clan drama going wild
One suggestion I would therefor make for their sake is to add a list of frequent visitors that would not need the pin to join the clan. Compare it to the opposite of the ignore list. That way the pin can safely be changed in case of people stalking.
Oh, and yes, I realise that me being a clan leader who doesn't have to bother with heavy recruitment or events means that I am very lazy. My clanmates trust me to be protective of the clan when needed and listen/act to any issues, and I trust them to enjoy the chat & game without causing drama. Somehow, it works.

Oh hang on, here's a suggestion I came up with this morning. Would it be possible for admins to have an option to check when a player joined the clan and when their rank was last changed? It would make things like ranking up so much easier and less effort which is great cause, you know, I'm lazy

Ok so we have some ideas. Going to quickly sum up what we have so far but please keep contributing.
XP competitions would be nice to track through the clan system
The Citadel, more plots
fix the way you claim your free bxp.
Kicking inactive members, even 5 members per time?
Increase the ban list
Increase Clan sizes
please make communication easier, posting on a voice for concern
Make mini games great and relevant again
clan village
clan bank
track who has been capping more easily
Gold plating the castle walls.
removing invention from the calculation for such&such has achieved at least lvl*
An agility course at the citadel
who recruited who to you to the clan
statues of the bosses that have been added
clan friends list
check when a player joined the clan and when their rank was last changed
There we go quick list of the story so far...

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
