I feel like polling this change or at least some sort of head's up before implementing it would have been nice. This req is fine for people who have a decent amount of time for Runescape, but I feel like it may be hard to keep up for others. For instance, I'm at work from 9am-7pm PST every weekday, which means I usually can't make at least 5 of the events that week. The hours that I play (around 10pm-1am) have no events. There are occasionally some events at 3am PST, but I would never wake up on time if I went to them. I'm also going to be busy three out of the four weekends this month, so I can't make most weekend events this month either.

I mean maybe I'm just an outlier, which is fine because you shouldn't change your policy for just one person. I feel like I'm not though since there were quite a few people with <250 points in the last activity report.

With as much skill weeks, citadel cap, pyp, and event oppurtunities we offer now, 250 shouldn't be hard for anyone to obtain even with a work schedule. When we are offering 5-6-7 events a week outside the skill weeks and citadel caps, even with being able to make 1 or 2 events a week if that it should not be difficult at all. We are a skilling CLAN, which means we do stuff TOGETHER, those just capping at citadel to slide by isnt fair to other members actually involving themselves with everyone else and trying to make the events successful for the people that plan them.

Yea that's fine - I'll see how things go in February I suppose. It just really surprised me as a new member who didn't see this coming at all.

I don't think people who just cap at the citadel or do SWC are just sliding by. There may be legitimate reasons that they cannot make the events since some people might have busy lives. I would love to be involved more, but I have a busy schedule that constantly changes. If something comes up in real life, I'm not going to prioritize Runescape over it. I don't think that's unfair because it's not like I want to see the events fail or anything, I just happen to not be available at the times they're scheduled at.

Theres always events that can be made considering we have various ones that cater for different ppl. Always worth the try..

I'm not saying people who get lots of points don't have lives or aren't busy as well, and I commend you all for being able to find time to attend events despite everything else you all do. It's just that some schedules might not be as flexible for a variety of reasons - maybe Runescape is a lower priority, maybe a lot of things suddenly come up, who knows?

And like I said, I'm talking a lot from my own perspective since I don't know what anyone else does, so if everyone else thinks this is fine, I don't expect event times or this policy to change just for me. I'm mainly just voicing my opinion because I felt this was a sudden change.
