    Phoenix was an MPC that was formed roughly 4 years ago, if you can't recall what clan that is, you're too much of a newfag.

    should be known that FI was literally everybody's punching bagfor like 5 years in a row, be happy you just started clanning recently bc you wouldn't have lasted during the FI vs EoP days.

    lol i participated in closing ur clan 6 times and still killing them to this day please be quiet. zenith was and will always remain a punching bag for everyone in the scene

    The current climate of the pure scene might be contributing to the destruction of it. Think about it.. What are you really doing when your intentions of a "rivalry" is to close the other clan? What happens if all power is consolidated in one clan? Strong minded clans won't close, but suffer from some kind of slump especially for not winning the propaganda/rivalry. Weak clans would close and disperse into remaining clans. The cycle will generally repeat itself until one clan exists. 

    I wouldn't blame the rivalry because any rivalry can essentially boost activity. However, I think the methods should change a bit. Maybe allow your rival to breath a little instead of smothering them every opportunity. Not all of the rivalries from pre-eoc era(main community) relied on starving the enemy of action. Even in cases of crash wars, it always led to uncapped fights between both rivals instead of avoidance. Nowadays, we would call this ragging/ 1-iteming until the other clan calls it quits. 

    However, I do believe the whole idea of 1 def reset (88 maxed cmb) would be very marketable for singles pkers. This could definitely revive the pure community, but I think the ragging would have to decrease to maintain a good environment. 

    It's been about closing the clan you're rivaling since the dawn of time, and ragging & 1 iteming isn't that big of a problem in the pure scene as opposed to the main scene. I wouldn't consider these an issue, moreso the main clans' involvement in the crash war. And if enemy clans wanted a 'breath of fresh air' they could always go to CWA to duke it out, but it's become a more and more common tactic to avoid such fights because said clans are afraid of a setback. Mind you these guys in charge of setting fights like those up are in their late 20s and scared how their online Runescape persona will look like if they lose 🥳

    With the current meta, the barrier to entry is pretty high. Convincing new people to ruin their pures to be able to do CWA is a tough task. Everyone starving each other of action only makes it worse. I think you could attract a lot more people and get people interested if there was a scene reset. Only a small percentage of new fresh people are willing to ruin their accounts.

    I know this doesn't solve getting rid of mains

    Hard to know because no one is actually doing any sort of P2P CWA. New people aren't even given the chance to participate in P2P, so obviously they're not going to ruin their accounts. If leaders, hell even members would take the initiative to host inners, mini other clans, do 2v2s/3v3s or maybe even go brid each other, they'd at least get a whiff of what it's like. This is what Fatality has done with great success and I'm sure a lot of people actually decided to join because of just that. Remember 2020? Fatality's CWA performance was mediocre at best, but I wholeheartedly believe Fatality is #1 P2P CWA now after a lot of hard work. FOE/Apex were #1 and #2, but their P2P CWA participation completely vanished. Now they're both in the hardest slump I've ever seen them in as a result.

    And honestly I don't even think 25 defence is the problem, it's the overtuned weapons Kodai/Ballista/ACB/Elder etc + cheat clients/AHK - at least Jagex is on the right path to fix this issue with their new ToS + updates to their UI with RuneLite inspired plugins. It's actually hilarious how Jagex has done more updates on the sand casino than CWA - they've had a singles combat option since the release that doesn't even work 🤣

    As for the mains issue, an active CWA scene would at least spark some light into this graveyard of a scene with clean competition that isn't filled to the brim with fake propaganda and main abuse. This could be fixed by either Jagex adding more options to CWA or by initiative from clans. also ban infinity boots from cwa

  4. So your solution is to pray for change? Lol

     

    I don't have a solution either, but let me just say the time period you're describing is vastly different. The problem back then was pure clans bringing mains. This time it's different, as certain pure clans are in alliances with main clans. Those pure clans are acting as minions to their main clan overlords, funneling their members into said mains clans, or making them go inactive as they cba participating in an arrangement like this. <- THIS leaves their remaining members bringing mains, it's NOT the other way around. Yes, mains have and will always be part of pure clanning, but this crashwar cycle seems to have no end. And those pure clans are so deep in it they can't pull out. For whatever reason, it seems some of those clans are kept alive by weekend trips (and midweeks, but they don't prove much in terms of a clans performance imo), as they refuse to do both P2P preps and F2P preps. Nowadays there's barely even any minis going on.

     

    If you actively log on every weekend to support your clan, kudos to you. But you can't seriously be telling me you're having a great time in this scene.
