Making A Clan

I have noticed that there are a large amount of clans that have 5 or less players. And after talking to several of them I have also found that they have been struggling to get their clan up in numbers.

Possible solution for this. Instead of letting anyone just start a clan, would it not be better were as the player(s) that want to start a clan should have to pay some sort of expense to start the clan. Something simple like say 200 gems.

Doing this would prevent a lot of useless clan formation and maybe force players to find a clan that suites their play style versus starting a clan and only having 5 players in.

If so idea was implemented then would it not also be a idea to maybe offer any clan that has less then 10 players that have been trying to form a clan for months a surrender offer of say 150 gems for them to disband their clan and try and search out a new clan. And for those who have left a clan or was the maker of such clan, force a 48 hour holding time on their ability to join another clan and or start another clan. Something of this nature would sure help eliminate the larger then necessary small clans out there, and also make Clan Wars more intense in battles.

Take the Clash of Clans and make it a real edgy spirited battle of the larger clans then these small clans.

Personally I dont find this to be a problem. But if you make people use money (or gems) then it might irritate the players who were planning on creating a clan and would cause a major controversy in these forums as well as other places

First, 200 gems is an absurd amount. Second, CoC's entire ecosystem is based on its organic mechanisms, trying to stiff it up is out of question. If they want to keep their 5-person clans, let them. Trial and error is part of the game.

It also depends on how they are and where they are recruiting i dont find any problem i started myclan ImmortalDragons two weeks ago and i now have over 30 members maybe its just badluck but i dont see any problems

Sorry, does it not already cost gold to start a clan?!

omg 200 gems?...stop posting such stupid threads...if u have problem from those clans don't join them...if supercell has no problem handling so much clans on the sever why do u?

U already have to pay 40 000 gold

Including this in he game will have some of the following consequences:
1. Slowly, people will close their clans without knowing about the price or not caring about it. So by that slowly there will be a lot of players stuck outside not having any clans to join, just because nobody wants to spend 200 gems to start a clan.
2. People will start to sell their clans, seeing there are so limited options to choose from.
3. Clan wars would die because of no matches to be found (again, clans disappearing slowly).

I don't know why people want to complicate the simple things in the game.

There are a number of threads here (and a couple very good ones) pushing for a clan finder/member recruitment utility to be added to the game. The current tools for finding a clan that matches your time/activity/war/language/etc. are on par with the worst games ever made. I doubt making a clan creation restriction would help though. Better recruiting tools and clan searching tools are what is needed.
