Clan Hopper Solution

[Brenn]

Personally I don't care about the hoppers. My clan rarely gets them. The OP suggested a solution to them and I provided an alternative suggestion.

They, like all software makers, make changes to improve the game. If enough people ask for a solution to clan hoppers this is one suggestion.

My suggestion would solve the issue. No one will quit the game because of it especially light of how unpopular the hero and hog changes were. If not enough people quit cause of those changes to make them back out the change, this is insignificant.

It still messes up the people who go between clans in the same family.

It doesn't hurt game play enough to make anyone quit so it didn't matter.

Dude, your idea sucks. There's no other way to put it. My clan never has hoppers because we actually screen people and it's also invite only. If someone joins your clan and the first thing they do is request, then maybe you should pay attention. You're basically thinking that just because people will lose a CC upon leaving, that will somehow grant you loyal members. As I said before, if your clan was organized or serious you wouldn't have hoppers. Serious and organized means you have a website or third party communication, not just the fact that you play the game more than 5 minutes a day.

There is a little better explanation.

No, because it still doesn't defeat the cool-down.

Well besides the point that experience level is a nearly useless stat a simpler solution is limit how many times a player can join a clan each week. Say a player can only join a clan after leaving one for 7 days.

I've been in 3 clans in about 5 months. If I left a clan I would not just jump into another one right away. Makes a person think before joining a clan.

Again, those of us in multi-clan groups would be unfairly punished by this.

I am a clan leader, and have been for a long time, so my perspective definitely has merit.

Build a clan where people want to stay, and make people earn your good troops before you give them away.

Simply put, if a player leaves a clan they lose all troops in their clan castle associated with that clan. I believe this would cut down on clan hoppers and the annoyance they cause.

The problem with this is they would only stay until they could get back on again! Then if no one attacked them they would attack wait and see if you donate again and if you don't they will be off to another clan! I don't think it would solve anything but how long they stick around! Personally I'd rather them just to go if they are not go in to be a team player! I think if they made a way people could fill their own clan castle or by buying troops or by having clan castle double as self fillers for those that don't really want to be in a clan!

That's a rather selfish attitude, isn't it? It messes up for every clan with sisters/daughters/feeders/dedicated war clans/rest and farm clans etc. And for what? Solving a non-problem?

Not sure if this was suggested, I only read half the thread, but a "ban player" would at least prevent them from coming back.. I think its funny when people who don't experience some of the problems with the game are so adamant that the problems must then not exist and its just you so you must suck, what d-bags... How bout a bad attitude button that automatically ships those tools to a separate forum for the ultra snarky!!!..

Sounds good, if anything they just add the clan blacklist mentioned earlier in this thread.

Would you be willing to share your screening process? Would be much appreciated.
