F2P has been shit since 2015. That paired with the strange negative stigma that a lot of main clans had for CWA meant F2P's doom was inevitable. People should have just given up on F2P much earlier and adapted into P2P where there's plenty of activity.
Last suggestion
Add an extra profile information section to include clans/teams that you are in. Include it on your profile information that shows every time you post ofc.
CAN WE HELP SHAPE OSRS INTO A VIABLE ESPORTS SCENE HOWEVER SMALL.
Aside from the DDOSING problem shown in the two PVP cups Jagex has held previously, if you the scene was able to organize itself & get rid of the toxicity and propaganda; It might help Jagex to pump some prize money/actually start developing some kind of quote on quote "ESPORT scene" for this game. How can anyone at a Jagex meeting bring up this website or the clanning scene in general without someone saying "You know what people are right about the clanning scene & pure scene in general, they are cancerous individuals" Archie mentioned on a livestream that they plan to do some kind of 1v1 elo system with built in gear and preset styles "main brid, pure brid ect" so they are putting some amount of energy into it. ROT and other clans that DDOS are literally ruining any chance of this game having a pro scene.
If we set up a professional well managed scene with no propaganda and BANNING clans from competing officially if they break certain rules "BRINGING MAINS ECT" that would help Jagex see how serious the community is. I'M SURE ALMOST EVERYONE HERE WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO EARN SOME KIND OF MONEY FROM THIS GAME WITHOUT (SCAMMING,DDOSING & BOTTING) FOR BEING GOOD AT PKING (NOT TALKING ABOUT RISK FIGHTS, BUT THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT SPRINGS TO MIND)
If we can set up a regulated scene that some of us dream of WITHOUT jagex's help then it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to see Jagex jumping on the bandwagon.
THIS GAME HAS SUCH A STEEP LEARNING CURVE FOR NEW PLAYERS, WE NEED TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO JOIN OR REJOIN THE SCENE & HELP NEW PLAYERS TO GET INTO IT.
If someone doesn't want to accept your fullout or clanwar or pkri don't shame them publicly.. so much of this community is about EGO, the majority of us are 20+ who played this game when we we're young, majority of the legends have left. Mayhem Makers is closed, Bonesaw quit years ago, SV turned into main clain & fizzled out (no offence) ect ect
For this to work once we have a clean format it only takes one sponsor (One marketing agent from one company to fund this scene & it's a START) but they won't if it's evidently cancer as it will damage their brand more than it will do it good. for this to work we need someone with organizational experience someone who has no affiliation to any clan, we could even as a group pitch in and hire someone to run this, if the pure community put in maybe 1 or 2$'s each that's a yearly salary for someone with ESL tourney experience or the like
We all play this game for the same reasons despite our differences (FUN,SOCIAL,TO WIN,TO GET BETTER, TO MAKE MONEY?!, TO LEAD,TO SERVE ect)
Also I think audio leaking a clan after they loose a trip is very cancerous, do you think that inspires people to call? most of this community are social inept & or massive cannabis or other drug users we need to come together and push otherwise all we have done is cause yet more negative in this already dark world
Below are some relevant videos that further help articulate my point & hope to spark some ideas with the community
Who actually wants to come together and stop the kanker nonsense and push this game as an esport? Clans like ROT are hurting the scene so much with their desperation to win.
IF YOUR GOING TO COMMENT SAYING THIS WILL NEVER WORK ECT THEN YOU AREN'T EVEN WILLING TO TRY & ARE INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY CARRYING ON THE SAME BEHAVIOR I'M TALKING ABOUT. WE ALL DEDICATE SO MUCH TIME TO THIS GAME.. let's look at BLIZZARDS HEROES OF THE STORM, small game not played by many but has a pro scene & players at the top make a nice wage (source, IRL FRIEND is TEAM DIGNITAS SNITCH)
A lot of DMM players question how long the Dead man mode tourney will last as they are aware of this, Jagex don't acknowledge this community as it stands, when I last checked Mod Sween had made no posts on this site @Mod Sween some insight would be great brother I know you have a clanning past & I really like the new commentator you got for the DMMT actually has clanning & calling experience whoever hired him deserves a promotion.(no f2p TB ect ect)
taken away his prize money for splashing on dwarf^^
yeah that's when Manked won
cos they DQ'd psych
who gwassed the shit out of him
coulda DQ'd him before it started but no
he grinding 6 days +
& dominated everyone
protected his IP
to be DQ'd
Didn't see mod ash offering to pay psych 10k out of his own pocket yet when WOOX tick eats his way to winning he pays him out of his own pocket kinda inverted imo
MY G SEERZ thoughts on the matter
not definitive but this next video but raises some good questions
I hope this sparks some positive debates, negative comments just prove the above points but please do comment honestly, thanks..
pretty confused, who was cocky and flaming in Pups? This is our 3rd pure fight ever obviously we don't think we're the best yet, our pures aren't even done lmao.
