The pure community is overly toxic and only seeks to destroy itself. The population of pures is thriving, none of them wants to deal with the stupid shit when it comes to clanning. I mean, why would they?
Who would enjoy dealing with mains and the same repeated dumb shit? The black market also thrives within clanning, something that is heavily being shunned throughout the OSRS population. Streamers being at the head of the hate against it.
The pure clanning community only has itself to blame for the current dwindling state.
Plus, the separation of divisions don't help any. Anytime things get shitty (mains), a different clan division is created. XLPC is dividing the community. Of course, as usual, CD will bring in the excessive toxicity (mains being part of it) into the XLPC scene.
It's difficult to introduce players, that aren't recycled or familiar with the scene, if the scene is complete shit.
Misfits had 2 streamers trying to showcase pure clanning. These streamers had rivals of Misfits, stream sniping them due to their affiliation. That was one of the best chances the community had of showcasing what it's about. BUT, once again, the toxicity prevailed.
