I don't want to drag on forever, so I'll try to stick to a few key points. Just skim over this topic, take in what I'm trying to say, and respond to it as you will.
I'm not sure how or where is started, and the last thing I want anyone to do on this topic is start pointing fingers. Perhaps it stemmed off people using their mains to scout, or maybe using mains to handle those pesky random mains who sometimes find your high level members. Regardless, I feel as if mains play entirely too much a role in pure clanning than they should. As of now I feel as if it's gotten to the point where the situation must be addressed and discussed until the Pure Community as a whole can come to some sort of agreement on how this should be resolved.
Now, I'm sure everyone in a clan has been on some sort of PK event where a high level main owned by an alleged competing clan member is harassing your clans high levels. I started noticing this months ago, and it's progressed to something much worse than the occasional main here and there.
The worst I've seen took place this weekend, which in turn sprung up a topic in the staff section regarding a specific group of repeat offenders. Now, obviously PW isn't going to just go ahead and ban anyone who's done wrong by another person. A more practical solution would be to address the problem and hope for a mature discussion and solution (what I am attempting right now).
If we continue the way we are, with each clan gradually bringing more and more mains to cope with competing clans mains, at what point can we continue to call ourselves pure clans? Why not have everyone hop on their main, and we'll have 10 hour long run-ins up at greater demons each weekend. Not to sound like JaGeX or anything, but it's just not in the spirit of the game to spend our time trying to frustrate the competition, rather than enjoy the competition for what it is.
So, onto the bullet points.
Is it possible for every pure clan to agree to set aside their high level main accounts?
Is it possible for every pure clan to agree to reprimand members using mains to intentionally harass members of other clans?
Is it possible for each clan to enjoy a trip with one another, rather than attempt to make another clans trip less enjoyable?
Now, what is said and done on these forums is one thing, but to really make progress we have to start seeing positive changes in-game on the weekends in order for every clan to better enjoy themselves.
