(This isn't a rant, its a suggestion)

Well this was the first time I went to a p2p clan wars event, and it was pretty fun, but it seems it was over in a flash.

People have to get gear and set aside time, only to have a 5-10 minute war and log out again.

When you go to the trouble of massing everyone, 1 war is not enough. The beauty of clan wars is:
1) Proximity to the bank
2) Respawn within the arena
3) No loss of possessions

In the proper wilderness, 1 war was acceptable. Part of the fun of the war was waiting for the other clan to rush, or searching them out. Of course you can't revive that, but you can replace it.

I suggest that in future wars like this (not full-out wars), at least 3 wars are fought (to decide a winner), or maybe even 5 if people are up to it. Massing for a 5-10 minute war is like booking a flight with Swiss Air just for the free chocolate.

You get more for your money, and there really is no exuse not to seeing as you're a couple of strides from a bank and everyone respawns right next to the place they fought.

I'm unsure if this topic is talking about a certain event, but I agree for previos p2p clan wars. As it is so easy to find a fight, why not do as many as we can? I 100% agree with you dude.

Great suggestion Mike, though there might be a problem being the "Lol we beat you already no need for rematch" attitude

Well thats good to hear. But money on supplies? That's pathetic. A inventory of sharks and 1/3 of a super set costs next to nothing. If you can't even afford sharks, there is no way you should be in a fighting clan. PKing gear is an acceptable exuse, but supplies? No

That's why you set the rule before the war. If they back out of the other 2 fights, they've broken the rules and will probably lose respect on RSC (even though RSC is a complete mess nowadays).

There are no veteran leaders; they are still yet to explore wg's potential in war. If you have suggestions, by all means let them know and try out a new tactic. In the war I went to, there were no piles and it was basically just deathmatches. BH and CW are new, and need adapting to. They aren't too different to the wilderness though.

Seems like an acceptable idea. Of course I havn't played RuneScape for a while so I don't know the exact details.

But if wars only last an average of 10 Minutes it seems to be a good idea.

Best 2 of 3.
Best 3 of 5.

what ever the pre-determined number is set too.

You don't lose anything except the stuff you use in the war (i.e. food + pots)

i miss when u can lose ur gear and get gear from kills..makes it more thrilling and intense.

but in clan wars u can bring better more expensive gear without the fear of losing it.
