Loyalty Gems - A new way to minimize hoppers

Since we all have been facing hoppers who create a bad mood in the clan and make us feel bad once they leave, I came up with this idea.
Although this may not stop hoppers at all, but it will help in rewarding loyal clan members to a great extent.

"Loyalty Gems" are gems which you receive for your loyalty in the clan, that is, staying in the clan for a specific amount of time, in a specific way.
Let me explain a bit more.

When somebody joins a clan and stays for 24 hours after joining, they will see a small green gem on top of their clan castle. This gem is collectible and requires no builder.

For the first seven days, the person will receive one gem per day.
For the next seven days, he will receive two gems per day.
That equals 7+14 = 21 gems for the first 14 days after joining.

When a person has been in a clan for 14 days, he gets a "Loyal" badge next to his name. The "Loyal" badge will be a green gem with a white "L" on it.
While the person stays in the clan, he will go on receiving 2 gems everyday, as long as he is not kicked or he leaves himself.

What this does is:
1. Gives people an impetus to stay in a clan.
2. Doesn't DIRECTLY reduce hopping, but it discourages it.
3. It adds an element of excitement. Who doesn't want gems everyday?

Cons:
1. Some people are in family clans and like to war in one clan and stay in another. They will be at a loss if this is introduced.
(More cons will be added as people read this and give suggestions).

Pros:
1. Keeps the loyal members rewarded.
2. The idea is non-exploitable since the amount of gems received remains constant after one season, i.e 2 gems a day.
3. Twenty-eight gems per season is not an amount that can be easily ignored. Saving up those gems can be crucial to people who don't buy gems.
4. The "L" badge will be a rage amongst everyone and will be instrumental in forming opinions about people.
5. All members, elders, coleaders and leaders receive the same amount of gems everyday. Otherwise, this idea will be exploited.

Let me know what you think.
Note:
The gems that appear on top of clan castles are NON-LOOTABLE and DISAPPEAR after 24 hours if not collected to make way for the next gem which will appear.

EDIT: Only clans with 10 members or more will be eligible for the Loyalty Gems.
The moment a clan reduces to 9 members or less, the "L" badge (if present) disappears and no more gems spawn until there are 10 members in the clan again.

Long thread, I gave up reading after a few words.

But I just want to say, Clans can stop hoppers easily as the system currently works. We don't need anything to try and cop them out.

Is it just me, or are these threads appearing a lot today?

Lol.
The idea isn't just for stopping hoppers. Its also for rewarding loyal members.
Basically, its 2 gem a day for every mwmber who has been in the same clan for more than 14 days.
Thats what I explained up there.

Yeh, I took a quick scan over the thread, as you said, it will destroy families and Req N' Go clans.
You need a way to get around that otherwise this will completely fail. I'm sorry. But the families and req clans are good things added by the community, it's like destroying farming.

Fix that and it may gain a little more positive feedback.

EDIT: But the gem bit is nice :P

It will be possible to keep the idea intact if SC adds the feature of linking family clans to your clan. Until then, this one con ruins it all!

Thats a good idea, allowing clans to link clans.
Fixes the con.

Maybe allow ReqNGo clans to have their own system aswell, so the game recognises they are done for that purpose, and don't remove the Loyalty Badge

This is an interesting idea. After seeing so many threads suggesting ideas of doing negative things towards clan hoppers, I finally see one suggestion of rewarding loyal members. This idea may work, but I don't think SuperCell would add it in. The amount of gems rewarded is way too much. And players could be staying in a clan simply for the gems, and not because they are loyal.

I agree Brian. But staying in a clan creates a certain bonding and eventually, people will start being nice even if they didn't have a good motive at the start.
Also, I think the Loyalty Bonus should be for clans with 10 members or more. That way, people can't create their own clans just for mining gems...

Culprit, I posted a similar thread and agree that some sort of loyalty gem reward system would be a fun aspect to the game. We can argue until the end of time what that system would/could be. But I don't really see any counter argument as to it being a bad idea; more just that people don't want it.

My thought was reward members with gems for being a member of a clan for a duration PLUS participating in either a certain amount of wars with said clan or a certain consecutive amount of wars with said clan. This would be awarding not only loyalty on the clan level but (more importantly to the business savvy minds at super) overall activity within the game. To be in clan wars you have to keep your trophies up. Typically(of course with exceptions) one must stay active to keep their trophies up. Active players means more revenues for super.

On the clan leader note; it can certainly be discouraging as new recruits come and go, especially when you are first starting a clan. But once you are solidified a bit you will naturally draw out more loyal members. I don't see a reason not to reward such people, even minimally.
