It really annoys me these days how the number of clans has been rapidly growing....it seems like there are more leaders than members now! Why does everybody have to own a clan for them self? The part that annoys me is that most of the new leaders don't even know how to run a clan.

What are your guys thoughts on this?

You don't born with leader skills dude, they have to learn how to be a good leader, imo the best way is to start your own clan.

I don't really count it as an annoyance, but I liked it when there were official clans with huge numbers of members instead of many small clans with 5 or so members. iCoF and Death Plague had a lot of members, not sure where they're at now. Official clans are the only clans I'd consider joining.

I know that, but there are people who lead that don't even seem to try to lead a clan, and it seems like they just made a clan for a tag.

Erth just pointed this out to me the other day. I now wonder the same thing. In my opinion all of these clans are rapidly forming because there is probably a new generation of thoughts. Maybe the leaders of clans rush into creating clans because they have seen others run clans easily. Yet they don't understand the responsibility of being a actual leader.

In matter of fact I believe that the clan mods should find a way to decrease this rapid growth of clans. Soon there will be millions of clans, but with no members to be in them. Maybe a new system of being eligible for creating a clan would be nice.

I agree, maybe a certain amount of time around the community should be needed in order for people to create a clan?

I've ran quite a few clans over the years and I've just created a new one two or three weeks ago, and it's totally different than it was before.
It's much harder to gain members now..

Maybe 30k seems like a reasonable price for leaders that really want to make a successful clan, not just for some lame tag.

Personally, I could care less.
Let them try to lead, if they fail they fail. It's their money that has been wasted

Well if they are a bad leader, the clan will fall and never reach official. Doesn't matter in my opinion. If people think they have the skill to make a clan and lead it, then let them at least try it. You learn on the way of being a leader.

I agree with you beta, but other people wants to just make a clan for fame or control, they don't really care about the tc, my point is some just do it for fun, my suggestion is every player who wants to create a clan should undergo some discussions by the clan mod, ask them questions, check their ban history, or like a background check, that way we could prevent rapid increase of clans.
