[Seriously?!]

I dont think that it has ruined the game... they are encouraging clans to grow...

 

There are many people like me who don't enjoy large clans because you just end up with lots of people you don't really know anyway. My current clan has about 50 people now and that's okay for my taste since what you end up with is a core of about 20 active people anyway, but even then, the costs are painful and the new focus on clans hurts the game since it mitigates the personal effort when another clan can progress much faster at much less effort simply because they are hundreds of people.
