I think we can all agree the "LOL you play runescape in <insert month/year>"  has not been good banter for at least half a decade now. If anything the idea someone who doesn't play would waste their "valuable" time on this website makes it even worse. 

lmfao you typed this in october 2017

The state of the community has increased significantly post HPC. There are still cancerous regimes in place who care more about their narrow views than the community as a whole, but that is more or less unavoidable. We are now at a cross roads where everyone 's 1 def pures are beyond maxed so people are getting bored and training attack/prayer at a higher clip. The voices have begun to both whisper and yell for 20+ defense. I believe it is of unparalleled importance that we shun these voices or we will effectively kill our community. It is absurdly hard to bring in 1 def edge pures to a 39 def scene. Runescape as a whole has seen some life support in the form of jagex making mostly competent decisions for the first time in a long while. It makes the most sense for us as a community to keep the mith, addy and rune (SMH) away and promote our fights to as wide an audience as we can. Most people would love the competitive aspects of our unique pure scene if only they knew it existed and if we could curve some of the most cancerous individuals among us. 

The individual skill level is miles ahead of previous eras and for most of the summer almost every clan was capable of pulling 45+ at some points. There was one sunday this summer where EOP, FOE, UB, Apex, IR, MF, FI, and SUP ALL pulled between 45-65. Clans like IR, PX, MF and even SF have done a solid job at adding a couple 100+ new pures to the scene that had never clanned before. The more new blood and less recycling of members we as a community can bring in, the better.

@Herb A Vorr Do not bother talking to @yoshi he is just a sad little autistic dutch kid.

 

Ub is dead btw

[Hulk]

I think it's fine, needs more preps tho

[Ecstacy]

having all the clans move to lpc or w/e you wanna call it was a good move

still not enough preps tho and the best clans almost never prep each other

[Cody9204]

it's dead and will never recover so long as the same recycled fucks are still leading/comprising high ranks in currently open clans

same goes with the attitude of holding grudges for petty brown sticky stuff and doing everything you can to either destroy any fun for clans or close them

 

tldr if you actually cared about this game you'd grow up and move on

That comes down to the leaders of the clans who never prep and their members. No matter who you ask, X clan is afraid to prep them. I simply don't buy it. If you are a member of  one of those clans then apply pressure to your ranks to prep more/prep certain clans. 

On the other hand, there are a handful of clans (Apex comes to mind first) who actively prep 2+ times a week. As I state above, it boils down to a few incompetent/cancerous regimes.

@Deep Thought ur thoughts about this?

[Law Abiding Citizen]

Clan wars has been an issue since unbreakable forced sharkbrew mods to change the system in their favor to make people need to prep each other and then still avoided prepping eop. ub have been scared to prep eop since youve been gone

[slime]

eop still openly use mains, along with cd

aside from that its great

[Gibbo]

better

@Deep Thought ur thoughts about this?

Paragraph 1: Yes and No. I think there are some great leadership groups and some cancerous regimes. For the community as a whole to grow it matters more that the members are not recycled rather than the leaders. Realistically some new 2k17 clanner would not be able to create his own clan and rise to the top. The years (in some cases decades) old infrastructure of existing clans are important. 

I would note that currently within this community there is a unwritten rule of momentum that if you lose anything your clan is instantly in a slump or something. Back in the day, clans would have a handful of fullouts EACH year and even losing one of those did not carry such a giant weight. These days clans would rather get no action as they are outright petrified of losing. If the current leaders could overcome that mentality then the scene would grow overnight.  

Paragraph 2: 85%. The competitiveness and idea of rivalries is what fuels a lot of what makes our community great. However, there is a fine line between a solid rivalry/good banter and outright cancer. Obviously things should never go the way of doxing, ddosing, hackings and other scummy tactics. 

The more cancerous activities that happen in game tend to be ragging and the use of mains. The idea that ANY clan would want to engage in such a race to the bottom mostly just showcases how weak minded their leadership is. Who wants to be the best pure at using mains? or who wants to be the best ragger? The community as a whole would be better if we had even a shred of the honor and respect clans had back in the day for each other. Believe it or not, there was a whole era where you could get 1-2 other clans to anti-crash a wilderness full out. In this current era, members from EVERY single pure clan decided to go join EOP/FOEs rag war with random capes after their trips ended a fews back. I'm not sure that level of moral guidance will ever be recovered. In fact, it is amazing  many of our community members had more self control a decade ago than they do now. 

Along the fine lines of a rivalry comes getting over petty brown sticky stuff. All clans are defined by their rivalries and best wins. Foe and MM's rivalry best showcases this. Where would we be if one of them had closed in say 2009? If you kill off all of your enemies, then who is left to fight?

Paragraph 3: I completely disagree with this sentiment. This falls under the "OMG YOU PLAY RUNESCAPE IN <insert month/year>" banter bucket. Anyone who posts on this site simply cannot post "you should just all quit" and those who do are hypocritical losers lol.

For those who do care either about the game or the community at large need to be the change they wish to see. Be thoughtful about how your actions ripple throughout the community. If you are a rank, then speak up for change and improvement. If you are a member, then pressure your ranks for change and improvement. If your ranks will not stand for what you believe is right, then leave and join a clan who does. Above all else, don't just be a bundle of twigsgot troll. No one thinks you are cool because of how much you don't care. If your life sucks so much outside of this game that you need to be an tomato for someone to pay attention to you then you should probably just go grab a rope lol.

Things have been doing well,

 

Foe is on the Bring of closure,

EoP is dominating the LPC scene

UB is slumping pretty hard after losing a rivalry to CD

Fatality is pretty much non existant

Misfits is still hella active in midweeks and wilderness (Good job boys)

No other clans worth mentioning.
