You say that a farming clan should be judged by the average base strength of clan members, then it's about the culture, then Farming4Gold has work to do. Shrug, no offense taken.
All I can say is we've had many visitors and unequivocally, people have said our culture is amongst the most fun, most humorous chats ever experienced. I guess it would have to be so, for the first clan to fill within two weeks, and the second to fill to hit 42 members within 4 days.
On levels and silly stats like that, or troop donations, we don't care. Our clan members meander between the two clans, so a bunch of level 70s are in the newer clan. And a bunch of 40s are in the original. And, I'll accept a level one farmer who is a funny adult and fun to be with.
We do not have a level distinction a la main vs. feeder system, as its by definition a misnomer for farming clans. It's like that fella asking for a farming clan and mentioning his trophy level on these Boards. Further, any farmer clan that sub-divides its members by level is exhibiting a style and culture that is anathema to us. Again, no offense intended... For example, the other day, a level 75 fella came in and wanted to "try us out" then squawked about level 2 troop donation. Well, he was kicked and his many re-applications have been ignored. Level snobs are not welcome here.
And this view is equally shared by our members who have level 100+ alts. They just want to park here sometimes and just chill out from the trophy grind. And, they always treat the level 20s with the respect they are due, else the level 100+, and their alts, would be kicked.
Said another way, a farmer who emphasizes level so much is acting rather oddly, similar to focusing on trophies as a farmer. I farmed solo, all by myself, in my own clan with no members, for months. The only reason for the Farming4 family is the company you wish to share your time with, as you farm. If you are excessively relying on CC troops for attacking, I question whether you are truly "farming". And if you need CC troops for defense so much, then the core defense needs work. Our members request troops, albeit rarely, and they are filled very quickly, but it's a lesser priority than farming and sharing company.
