The clan issue

As a player of clash of clans you have all probably tried making a clan and it has most likely failed terribly. I have some ideas that can help the whole clan situation.

Make it more expensive to create and run a clan.

The reason why its so hard to make a clan is because there are so much of them, and there are so much of them because they are pretty cheap, 40k is pocket change to most players above town hall 4. If the price of clans increase more people will want to join a clan instead of spending so much money making one. Another way you can make it harder to run a clan is to create clan fees every season so a clan must pay 100k a season or before starting a clan war search the clan must pay $50k as a whole, so each player in the clan can donate 10k so it doesnt hurt the leader as much.

Make is harder to join and leave clans

This will solve the clan hopper problem. Clan hoppers exist because there are no consequences to joining a clan, they do not need to give you their loyalty or commit to the clan. If a custom entry fee existed it will make a player committed to your clan. You can also create an abandonment fee, if a player leaves a clan while hes in a war he has to pay 300k or something and cant leave until he pays it.

Make is easier to merge clans

The problem with merging clans now is that no clan leader wants to join a clan with a different name, and leader. Everyone always want to be the leader and clan merging never works out. If there were more benefits to merging a leader might consider it. Also if the actual merging process was easier for example, if every clan member automatically followed the leader into a new clan, that would be pretty nice.



Those are my ideas, please let me know if you guys like this idea i think its pretty good.

I like the idea of paying a higher fee for creating a clan. I think that since the game is well established now there's no need for so many clans to be created. The amount of clans you see with 1 member is ridiculous!!! I created a clan when I had not long started playing, I had no idea what some of the options were! By simply putting the price up to 500k it would discourage some lower level players from creating a clan on a whim.

I don't think monthly fees is a good idea though, what happens if the leader is unable to pay? Or if they don't collect the rent from players? The clan is disbanded? No... To much like real life. People play COC for something fun, not to be reminded of bills...

an an exit fee is a great idea! The clan in its early stages could set it at zero, but when they beef out their ranks and want to be more picky they can set a higher exit fee. After all if you're in a clan and take troops then jump it would be quite costly to do this and hopefully discourage people from doing this. However there are loads of req n go clans who could have the option of setting there exit fee at zero. The exit fee could also be split between all members.

Over all seems pretty good, would encourage people to remain loyal to the clan their in.

now seeing it like that i agree. i think the most important thing super cell can do to fix the issue is increasing the price to create a clan and create an exit fee to discourage people from abandoning their clan.

I really like the idea of increasing the cost to start a clan, there should also be a minimum level to make one. It's super annoying when you're looking for a clan and you get a ton of requests from one member clans and the person is level 15. Its ridiculous.

On the idea of an exit fee I'm not too sure about. Sometimes clan leaders stop playing all of a sudden and then having to pay a bunch of money because they set it high to leave a dead clan would suck.

Increasing cost to make I agree with. it should not be something guys can do on whims.

Departure fees are tougher. Guys will troll the clan to get kicked and thus avoid the fee. Guys in war can drop a barb twice to do 2 attacks and then leave as someone that did attacks. It will just make trouble and too easy to dodge.

Merging is still tricky, I agree that every time we have been asked to merge the first condition we get is their leader becomes the new leader. So we walk away because we don't want to discuss it further. I do not know what advantages you are talking about that would overcome that problem, but I am open if you want to try suggestions.

Attention clash of clans i am officially bumping this page

I like the idea of an entry fee, not liking the leaving fee.

Allowing clan merging would be a good idea, especially if it continues to be so easy, and encouraged, for TH4s to start clans.

The practicalities might be complicated.

Merging could only work if the merged clan would not exceed fifty members.

Ideas:

1. Unequal mergers.

A leader can take his entire clan into another clan. Irrevocably.

For an unequal merger, allow the leader of the weaker clan to accept that his clan is weaker, to apply to the other clan to join it en mass. Everyone in the merging clan gets demoted one level. By joining another clan, Leader becomes co. Co-leaders become elders. Elders become members. Members stay members.

Clan XP between the two clans is summed. (this would seem pretty good, and might be a strong motivation to merge. Long term, as XP for leveling rises exponentially, it will have little effect)

2. Equal mergers.

These type of mergers will be wanted, and might be just too hard, but if they were to happen:

The new clan is renamed to a merger of the two names.

On merging, everyone keeps their rank.

The new clan has two leaders, neither can demote the other. If one leaves, he is not auto-replaced. He can, however, promote another over himself, to leader.

XP is summed.

The clan shield and clan description is blanked and must be re-edited.

Future mergers could see more even more leaders.

To avoid silliness, I suggest that an equal merger can only be allowed at high level. Single member low XP clans should not be allowed to equal-merge.

Could possibly kill the game. Request and Leave clans would have to pay to get level 5 barchers wouldn't be worth.
