Incentive to join new clans

I've noticed since the clan XP update, recruiting in many newer level 1 and 2 clans has grinded to a halt. Less people are joining, and lots of people ditch for level 3+ clans. It has become almost impossible to start a new clan.

My proposal is some kind of seperate incentive or bonus that will make recruiting possible in newer clans. I don't know how this would be done without defeating the whole purpose of clan levels, but this is a problem that needs to be addressed.

Maybe a small gem reward that can only be recived when you are premoted elder?

The update helped weed out thousands of smaller "spam" clans. No thank you.

Could be abused for free gems

@indirect
these "spam clans" are clans too. If you're talking about the 1 member clans they weren't deleted, so your argument is invalid.
