imo, w129/157 was only fun because people picked teams and things were evened out (somewhat). The recent attempts to start a cw world just resulted in 50% of the players pidding up until 1 min and everyone ends up going to guthix or stacking with friends. The games suck because one team is pid stacked or mage stacked or whatever And to address radar's problem (point #2), if clans actually started to full out more, even the newbiest players would have their place in a war. I remember joining my first clan, and even though everyone was a pro compared to me, I still did my job and spam maged or something. Clans need to start (mass) recruiting again and warring with everyone they got. One main issue I see about full outs is that clans would complain if people try fitting more players into their team (even if this means having their players going into opposite team to make room). Everyone always complains about this, but it's called a full out for a reason. Let's say that this isn't an problem, and clans fit everyone into their respective teams (ex: logging out in game before hopping to war world, players going into other team to make room, etc). I know it can be a hassle with the end of each game and trying to fit everyone back into the teams, but it is possible and can be done. There are still other things conflicting with the 'full out wars' problem. And looking past those problems, pid is the last problem that will be somewhat hard to fix. If a clan tries to fit everyone into the portal, the other clan with less people are free to pid as they want without any risk of losing a player's spot. Of course clans can apply a no pidding rule, although it is very plausible, I doubt clans would go that far just for a full out war because most people would rather have just their best players play in a cap war just for a 'win' on their record. Recruiting players would also help with events. From 2009 onwards, I remember clan events were boring to go to because only like 15 people would go to them. I'm only speaking from experience, so think that this holds true for every clan. When I was a noob, events were fun because there were loads of people to play with, but nowadays, it's really a burden to try and go to them sometimes. The bottom line is that pid, along with other problems mentioned such as attitude problems, and high standards to join a clan are slowly killing the castle wars we all came to love. It would be easier to turn things around if the priority system was changed. Most of us are probably already starting to think about quitting. The current member base (for castle wars clans) isn't exactly growing and people that apply to clans are generally recycled players that just hop around or join if their current clan dies. After we all eventually quit, our hard work that we put into reforming castle wars from a mini game, into a hard-learned skill, will just slowly disappear for a new generation to start from scatch (if runescape is even here then, lol). My advice for everyone is to start recruiting players, start warring full out, and public games can't hurt either if the pid issue isn't that bad. Continuing on our current path would just cause our numbers to dwindle until everyone eventually quits. Summer 2010 is here, let's make it a good one. Edited by Kev i n, May 31 2010, 05:56 AM.

I hate how everyone says ip / pid decides the winner... there are plenty of very good players that hardly, if ever, had ip or try to get pid. If you hate it so much, come up with strategies that work against it. |

Can you explain a strategy to use that will effectively help clans win a war over another clan that always picks flags over them? Back when ip was around, people knew who to spear, freeze, cade off, etc, but the pid system grants an anonymity that can screw over most of these strategies. Especially in situations like wars where there are multiple people next to the flag at a time.

Plus ip didn't affect the splash rates, now ppl with the best pid get all the flag drops and most of the splashes |

I don't see a new ultma, hockley or brian rising anytime soon. Also most cw'ers are gifted with flaming not approaching people to join their cw clan. I don't see a new clan rising either. Only see old clans getting rebuild. The most new clans don't even last longer than 2 months because of the lack of the people you see potential in. Setting up ECW I recruited older and known people which worked out. Wouldn't of seen that happening if I recruited those door-fucckers in w24 who rely on a click. |
