I still don't understand why it needs changing. I like his idea, it is a good one. However, I can guarantee I can crash a clan of Pernix and Divines at Nex using Void and Rune C'bow. Giving them a 12% damage boost would just make it almost impossible for me to solo still. I mean, I will hit just about outhit them 90% of the time but not if they're dealing a possible 12% more damage. If they then copied my cheap setup, to ensure I can't crash, along with their 12% boost, I would have no chance at all and I might as well give up. If none of my clan are online or wish to help, I'm screwed. If I tell them there are 5 maxed out players, they will think 'No chance, they have great gear and a great bonus'. This could easily backfire and make clans with better gear end up giving NO ONE else a chance at all.
If a bonus is a must, it really shouldn't be more than 2% per extra person, and should be capped after 5 people, at 10%. Although, I'd prefer it to be capped slightly lower.
Don't get me wrong, I DO like the thought this suggestion, but cheap gear can already beat expensive gear. Expensive gear is basically like paying for efficiency, which is next to irrelevant when there are 5 people at a boss because of how much the damage dealt will already be split up.
I don't understand how, just because people don't know how to use their resources, which are available from 10h played or less, anything needs changing. The only bosses that are slightly harder to crash include Bandos + any other Melee killed boss. In those situations, better gear will usually have better strength bonus and win. I agree that can be seen as an issue, but if someone wants to solo a boss because their clan and friends are offline, why handicap them? Not to mention that they've worked for the gear. He will already have to hit consistently high to beat a clan of 5, whom have more chances of doing so, and now they will have a damage bonus to help them along...Interestingly, if he DID have his clan arrive, even in shit gear, his damage output would become far greater and no one else would get much chance.
I think it is great that we are trying to promote clans, and this idea is not a bad one. I do like it. I just want to point out some of the flaws with it.
*Oh, and will you implement a system then, so that you can't be counted as part of the clan nearby if you're outside the boss room, such as in GWD? I mean, you wouldn't actually be helping at all, you would only be acting as a damage booster.; I can see people getting clients up and going near the bosses to do this...at GWD it would certainly work.
