The ‘recruitment tool’: what is happening under the hood?

[mandy12]

I turned on myinvites around a month ago and have yet to receive a single invite! I am a nearly max th13...

why get restricted results? in senario 3 i heard a lot of not enough members available from you in other topics about this topic. and now its unlikely because of to many to find in results..

so why only a few?

learning it does?
at least i learned not to waste my time with it

I don't know what you are referring to about "not enough members available" or how it applies to this post.

thank god player numbers are dropping since global died.. now the gems of the major update are starting to die out, it wil finaly become apearent that a realtime tool is neccesairy for the game to thrive.

but hey look on the bright side... we got th 13 for the 3 members in youre fading clan that you build in yearssss..

Can you provide a link to this information you have about player numbers? You bring it up often, but I don't know where you get it from.

What clan are you referring to? It doesn't describe my clan which is not fading.

I gave up on this tool.

And I heard that global chat will return a little differently. It will be?

SC has said there is no return of global at all, so where did you hear it from?

This seems to be a common problem. Are you a leader? That could explain some of it, I don't invite leaders, but you'd still think you'd get at least a few invites.

The good news is I rarely get "in box is full" anymore and I can limit my results to th12-13, but it still isn't good enough. I really wish we could apply our own filters to narrow it more.

Just what is going on? Why is this still so bad??? I'm a level 242 max th13, why is the recruitment tool showing me a list full level 80 th12s???

The level 19 clan I am in, with almost 500 wins, now has 1 foot in the grave. I just watched my friends level 22 clan with 650 wins merge with another similar clan because they could not get new members. So that's one dead level 22 clan with over 600 wins, and another level 19 clan about to die, so props on that. You guys have made getting new members impossible. I'm not interested in using discord, reddit, or any other 3rd party app or website to recruit nor should we have to, that's ridiculous.

I love playing clash of clans, but I'm at the point now where if you guys have ruined your own game then so be it.

It's not relative to your current rank in a clan.
I have 5 accounts (2 TH13, 2 TH12 , 1 TH10), all are "members"
none get any invitation
(some monthes ago, one of the TH13 got a few, from clan speaking some curious languages)

This mecanism (either recruitment or search) is totally broken.

Beeing a regular player, you have to use reddit (english) or country-specific site.

As far as I concerned, the only positive thing about the (in)famous CRT is that I left my own clan (no way to maintain a good lineup) ... and game is better without all the worries of beeing a clan leader.

I've come to a conclusion, there are two possible scenarios here

1) This useless (for me at least) "Tool" is not working properly for minority of clans that's why people are not raising their voice here

I think it is not working well for anybody.

But I think it is only a minority of clans that would veer have tried to use it.

I believe there are far more clans that don't actively recruit in-game than those who do.

2) "Tool" is useless and everybody has given up on it and SC don't seem to care because there is a super computer algorithm that trying to learn how not to let clans grow and let them wither and die a slow death.

@JusMe I wasn't expecting mods to comment on what's being done about it, I was hoping they'll share their experience using the "Tool". But turning a blind eye is more suitable here.

I rest my case and give up trying.

Most of us mods don't have any experience using the tool, so can't really comment on it.

I'm pretty sure all the mods are in stable clans that rarely recruit actively, particularly in-game.

And we haven't been told much more than the general forum population have about anything going on with it (and probably wouldn't be allowed to share if we had).

I don't know where you heard that, but it was pure speculation on somebody's part.

There is no chance Global will return in any form in the foreseeable future.

thank god player numbers are dropping since global died.

Do you have the slightest shadow of something approaching evidence for that assertion?

You keep stating it as fact, but I have seen NOTHING to support that assertion.

Likely nobody here knows anything that could be considered evidence. But I see way fewer attacks against my accounts. All are in master to champ range. My mid level TH12 likely gets hit the most but only about half are what I would say are successful. My main that's close to max can go days with nothing more than trophy droppers. I use to stay online and chat to keep cc troops from being taken. I never worry about it now. And I don't request defensive troops any more. Just request my normal attack troops and most times they are still there even 8-10 hours later.

Was constantly on global, the new so called tool is worthless. So far I have 2 recruits and both have gone inactive. I'm addicted so not going anywhere. But several have dropped out of my clan.

We can all trade anecdotal evidence. We havent lost any from my clan due to global. I get attacked on my main as soon as shield ends. But I'm up in titan. All I got as a 12 or 13 in the kiddie pool was trophy droppers. My well developed 10 mini can go a while without being hit in low crystal. As i expect. Far easier targets to find for other 10s.
