Just wanted to know everyone's opinion on this pure community atm.
If you look at the "official" pure community, it's shown as the elites compared to massers. Everyone knows that if you join an official clan you have no risk of getting bsed and the communities are a lot better then in masser CC's. This is what i think allures people to join an official clan.
One thing thats changed throughout the years is the way clans compete with each other and their goals. Back in 06 when i started clanning i was in the 40s clan called pinkies. What the clan focused on was mainly loot, there were fights here and there vs. DS, etc. But the main reason people warred was for the loots. in 07 when the wildy got removed, clans entered what i call the CLW era, where principles of tanking, hugging, etc were brought upon more. The fact is, while the wilderness has been brought back, we are still in the CLW era.
The main thing im concerned about, is whats going to happen from here? While this is a great community, the total active members accumulate to give or take ~600 people. While this may be fine for most people, the pure community was a lot more active than this, idk what it was, but it just seemed bigger back in 07. The main thing is, is that the clans today all focus on fighting each other. while there are loot trips, the main action is clan V. clan. the problem with this is that it's hard to get more people into the pure community nowadays, meaning the ~600 active on will not fluctuate to very high, it's basically the same people just joining different clans with the occasional new face. What would happen if one weekend, clans fought mains, the advantages of being a pure would be shown. Banks would be full with rune, instead of monk robes. It's hard for me to see this from someone outside the pure world, why would you want to join something where all you see is people fighting each other, all in pure gear. What exactly are we fighting for, what exactly does #1 even mean?
Just my opinion, post yours below.
