A victory over another clan is certainly a moral booster, but it also serves as a scope to where you stand against others. However, there are other angles of approach to victory that clans can use to supplement their performance. First, there is a Pyrrhic victory:

"A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has been victorious in some way; however, the heavy toll negates any sense of achievement or profit (another term for this would be "hollow victory")" - google

For instance, those 10 hour fights when clans lose banks, the result is pretty much the other clan getting bored or going to sleep, the true performance of both clans is often lost because of the last hour. However, clans can learn what they need to improve on, such as timezone and increasing banks.

Another approach to victory is the RSC battle. We all know, what actually happens in the wilderness does not matter. The real warriors of runescape, are the keyboard warriors. The battle is fought in the wildy, but the war is won on "Clan Fights ". Excuses are often thrown with 15 different POVs of ending options. The definition of ending options is changing from clearing the other clan to ending CC, ending from a diff world, and ending on TS.

For discussion value, I say the only way to determine a clear concise victory, is clearing the other clan. All in all, I can say the real winners are the people who have FUN :)
