Idea: Hopper Revenge

[EBongo]

I'm the leader of my clan, and we currently sit at 10 solid members, with 3-5 flaky ones that are constantly changing. We're trying to grow, so I'm constantly recruiting, and given the clunky recruiting interface I end up slumming it in Global fairly often. Occasionally we get good recruit from there, but quite often we instead get hoppers who just want free troops then leave. I've accepted this as part of the game, but WHAT IF:

Each time you leave a clan, you invite a single Revenge attack by one or even every member of the clan you left. The Revenge attack would be optional like other Revenge attacks and subject to shields like other Revenge attacks. Loot stolen this way could follow the same level based looting rules for all attacks, so if you angered some high level clan they could attack but wouldn't get much for doing so (if you were a lowbie).

In the end, it wouldn't be a huge deterrent to hoppers, and probably nothing will completely solve the problem, but it would feel good to get Revenge, and might make some folks think twice. Thoughts?

Please add this, I'll invite my high level friend and have him leave the clan with his storages outside, take his loot, invite him back, and repeat to exploit this just like everyone will.

I don't think more than one Revenge is necessary. You could cap it at one. If you have an unlimited number of high level friends willing to let you steal their resources, you could conceivable still exploit it, but I don't think that's a big concern. You could also just cause the resources to be destroyed without giving them to the attacker. In this case, I'd be find with just spitefully destroying the resources.

If you're having problems with hoppers you need to manage your clan better.

If you recruit on the forums you tend to get more mature players- the majority of players on global tend to hop a lot now.

There should be nothing done to hoppers. It's your clan, but their decision. If they don't like it, they have the freedom to change clans.

To be clear, I absolutely do not want to force people to stay that do not want to. In fact I'd rather they go, if they don't want to stay and participate. My issue is mainly about what they take with them when they go. Revenge seems like a simple solution, and already a built in game mechanic - but I'm sure there are other options. You could wipe their CC when they leave a clan, for example.

Hehe true story.
