Clan joining fee to dissuade hoppers

Something needs to be done about hoppers. They join ask troops then leave and are getting rewarded for it. We only leave clan open between wars so sometimes hoppers stay till wars start and then leave.

I suggest there should be a incremental fee (gold and elixir) while joining a clan to dissuade hopping
Something like 0, 1000, 2000 ,5000 , 10'000, 20'000, 50'000, 100'000, 200'000.....

Fee is reset to 0 at end of every season.

I feel this will fix many problems :
1.Irritating Hoppers who abuse/request troops.
2.Clan war deserters.
3.Amount of chat in global will reduce cause less hoppers means less chat.

Please share your thoughts dont just say donate garbage for free XP, ignore, change to invite only or kick. These are not solutions to the issue nor downsides to my solution.

EDIT:
Alternative suggestion :
1.Add cooldown time of 2hrs(possibly incremental) instead of join fee. Sugessted by Cadderly
(Downside will be clanless for 2hrs)
2.

2 stars, stay in your clan for 100 days.
3 stars, stay in your clan for 500 days.

This would be fun http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/wink.png

(love this solution)

Drawbacks:
1.Hopping between sister clans will be become limited.
(Cadderly's alternative will be better solution as this issue will be solved. people will wait 2 to 4hrs if they really want to jump between sister clans.)

2.Would kill the request and leave clans and make friend in need achievement more difficult. by xQQx
(although i disagree with the idea of request and leave clans as a shortcut to complete friend in need achievement)

This will never be added.

If you want to fix a hopper problem, change your clan to invite only. This will only let those hoppers that wAnt to dump gold get away with their intentions.

How will invite only fix hoppers. Hopper comes requests to join we accept he takes our troops and then leaves...
I dont know any hoppers that want to dump gold. why would anybody want to dump gold for no return?
Also i said it should cost gold elixir both if you see the series after hopping 5 clans the joining a 6th will cost 20k gold and elixir next will cost 50k this is a lot and hoppers are usually low levels woh cant spare this much.

Genuine players dont need to jump so much 5 clans per season is more than enough. i havent been in 5 clans in my entire time playing COC

WHO WANTS TO DUMP GOLD for NO REWARD???

Hoppers aren't a problem. Some easy solutions:

• donate them for free XP
• kick them
• do not give them co/elder

I think it's a good idea to have a fee for joining a clan. There already is a fee for starting your own clan why not have a fee for joining an existing clan. It wouldn't stop people from hopping entirely but would cut it down a bit. They could also add a 2 hour cooldown for joining a clan after quitting one as well.

What this guy said^

Plus if you're having problems with hoppers you need to manage your clan better.

Interesting idea, but it just complicates gameplay. As much as you don't like it, hoppers are part of CoC. I don't expect everyone to be an upstanding player.

1. Its a form of begging/conning, so no, I dont want to encourage them by donating.
2. I can kick leeches who stay till you kick them (worse than hoppers but there is nothing we can do about them) but hoppers just request take troops and leave.
3. It is a given that co/elder is given only to the most loyal clan members.

Yes an incremental cool down could be an alternate solution.

Why igonre a problem that spoils gameplay? Hoppers are part of COC cause it is encouraged you hop you get troops and there is no down side. Adding a downside to switching clans improves gameplay then why not do it?

The only downside that I can think of (pocking holes in my own solution :P) is the members of clans which have many sister/feeder clans wont be able to jump between clans constantly.

Just donate goblins, you get xp, the hopper get angry.
