we CAN make donating resources work.
I get that it hasn't been though about in the past because people could make multiple accounts to spam collectors and just donate to their own account; but since now we have clan levels and perks, if you made donating resources a perk, then it would require a ton of work to aquire; and if someone wanted to put together their own accounts into a clan of 10 and try and get there then so be it right? It'd take a hell of a lot of work. You could make it starting at a higher level clan perk too so it wouldn't be too easily achieved like:
Clan level xx:
- Receive 20k of resources a day
Clan level xx:
- Receive 40k of resources a day
Its not a massive amount, but say enough for if you're completely broke and can't afford an army comp or if you're really close to an upgrade but you're out of luck on loot, your clan mates have the option to help you out.
The 24hr cap on resources that you can receive would start from the time your clan levels up to the perk, and once the resources received limit is hit, then the donate button would turn black.
of course there'd have to be some new buttons and a donation system implemented, but now with clan levels and perks in its not that easy to be taken advantage of and its not out of the box right?
