Idea for DISCOURAGING clan hoppers, while keeping the integrity of the game intact

[dahimi]

Right, and those clans can feel free to leave their clans open for anyone to join. But hopping isn't eliminated simply because you throw up an "by invite only" restriction and are a tough task master in your clan. People will join, stay a while for various reasons, and then leave after they've gotten their donated troops. Preventing them from leaving with those donated troops takes the incentive to join the clan in the first place.

So here is a compromise: for the clans who are open for anyone to join, the hoppers who join those clans can keep any donated troops they get when they leave. For people who join "invite only" clans they don't keep the donated troops if they leave.

I still don't understand what this accomplishes. Why won't the hoppers simply stay in the clan until the troops have been used? Why would you want people who would otherwise leave to stay longer? Furthermore, what happens if they join the clan and it is made invite only before they leave?

Again, this is open to so many loopholes, like any other anti-hopper suggestion ever made.
What if the clan was inactive, bad in war, donated wrong troops (Gobs and wb), adult joining immature kids clan. So many reasons why the "hopper" is really innocent and should be allowed to leave without penalty.
Also, someone could coordinate attacks for loot or trophies. ie. having a primary attack a secondary account or arrange specific free raids for cheap shielding in champions league.
Sorry, this idea wouldnt work

If the clan is inactive, how would the hopper receive troops, if they leave bc the clan is bad at war, then you should care less about keeping your cc troops and more about finding another clan, if donated the wrong kind of troops why would you want to keep them, and if the hopper wants to leave he can leave without the clans troops!!!!!!!!!

Also as I said before if the option is made for clans to implement these or not then everyone should be happy! Of course I think some who are posting are most likely hoppers themselves! In which case you guys should vote on the options of allowing hoppers to buy troops instead!

I see what you mean! So make it to where it would take 12hrs for it to switch to invite only! Giving them plenty of time to decide!

If a hopper leaves 2 hrs or less after receiving troops then they can't join another clan for 2 hrs! This includes being kicked! And if they come back on after the.12 hours is up for switching clan options then they can use their troops and not worry about consequence! If a hopper joins and does not take troops he does not have to worry about consequence!

The store gives out samples in the hopes that you'll like the product and buy it. Sometimes this works out, sometimes it doesn't.



You're making a huge assumption here. As was mentioned before, there are clans that specifically cater to people who want to request and leave. Who is to say your method of playing is as intended and their's isn't? Honestly the game provides enough tools to enable folks to play in all sorts of different ways.



To some extent yes. If a store gives out free samples and finds that most folks just go there for a free meal, they don't petition their municipality to make a law forcing folks who don't buy something to barf up the samples before leaving.

They instead change how the samples are given out. That is they stop, give out samples after something is bought, and/or screen folks more carefully and give out samples to faithful customers.

Hoppers in this game can be nearly eliminated through proper clan management. This allows you to run your clan as you see fit without impacting other players who prefer a different method of play.

It's a little.off.topic but I thought it was funny! Your comment reminds me of north Carolina people complained about people asking for money so they made a pan handler law!!! What this does is whoever ask for money without this permit is locked up! Or just picked up and dropped somewhere else depending on the cop! But the point is that the citizens got tired of so many people making a living off of asking for money, instead of joining society and making a living that they made and passed the Law!

Not that I agree with the law you understand but that's what most of this thread reminds me of!

There is already a way to prevent hopping and no other solution is necessary if you ask me.
I am a clan leader for more then 6 months and I am not suffering hoppers at any point.
All it takes is not trying to recrute people in global and be an active and supportive clan leader.

Clash on...

Invite only and only posting on the Facebook or other social media does helps keep out hoppers!! However not everyone wants to try recruiting for their clans on Facebook!
Though there are the clan forums for hunting for good clan mates! And can be a good recruiting area!

Never ever recruit on global.

Idk what the problem is. This thread reads like the idiots who complain about getting burgled after telling everyone they where they leave their keys. It is as easy this, DO NOT DONATE TO NOOBS, EVER! It is upto them to show commitment to your clan, not for you to bribe them to stay.

Mods, close this thread, it seriously serves no real purpose.

I still don't understand what this accomplishes.

1) "Anyone can join" - Keep donated troops upon leaving the clan
2) "Invite only" - Don't keep donated troops upon leaving the clan

Understand now?

Furthermore, what happens if they join the clan and it is made invite only before they leave?

What happens is that they would 1) click on the button that says "leave" and 2) go find another "anyone can join" clan and join it.

No one is forcing anyone to stay in any clan. If a clan you're in makes changes to clan requirements, and you don't like it, you can leave. Besides, hoppers don't usually care what a clan's requirements are anyway. They're there to snatch troops. They weren't joining the clan to stay in the clan in the first place. All this solution does is make it pointless for a hopper to join an invite only clan.

The suggestions laid out in this thread takes the decision not to donate to noobs out of the equation. If a hopper is looking for a clan to get troop donations then they could join an "anyone can join" clan. If they join an "Invite Only" clan they don't get to keep any donated troops. No need for "Invite Only" clans to worry about whether or not to donate to hoppers because hoppers most likely wouldn't join the clan knowing they wouldn't be able to keep donated troops.

Mods, close this guy's post, it seriously serves no real purpose in this thread.
