DEATHSCYTHE38 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I understand that clans are for people to join and be part of a group but how about adding a grace period(1,2 or 3 months) for people joining a clan. This way they don't just join and buy research that has already been done and leave. Because of this I will not do any recruiting, if you join a clan you should stay(not get the research and leave). What are your thoughts on this matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouHaveShamedYoFamory Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Nah. If ur clan is any good than people will stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imaru Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Nah. If ur clan is any good than people will stay But if they only join for research, they don't stay long enough to get to know the people in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouHaveShamedYoFamory Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 But if they only join for research, they don't stay long enough to get to know the people in it. then they didnt want to know the people in it. My clan totals 1300 members now, people who want just research come all the time, doesnt affect my numbers since i know how to recruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntyd1s Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Why be stingy about it? I prefer those who come to buy the researches and leave to the awol members. Nothing is missing or broken. - -)- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Pretty sure you can set permissions on clan ranks to be able to access research and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semshol Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well as a newly promoted Clan leader. I would like to say the following: - Set the permission beforehand. Until they are involved they cannot host. This means they don't just come in, do what they want - Filter your applicants, we do so because we only want quality players. Use the forums to see who is willing to take the time and think seriously about joining. - If a player leaves don't take it badly, I get unfriended pretty often in game, mostly because of what I say/do on the forums, but thankfully I don't care. - Also try not to recruit via the Recruiting chat. Why? It's basically just a reason to find the lowest of scrubs who won't be bothered to actually get themselves involved in your clan. You can direct them to your recruitment thread from the chat, but you definitely should not direct recruit unless you're just starting out, or you don't mind people just coming in. Trial periods like what you've suggested are too harsh. The max penalty will be no joining for 24 hours, like in most games. 1 - 3 months is way harsh.

Guest Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Pretty sure you can set permissions on clan ranks to be able to access research and the like? Only to queue research. Anyone can buy the already researched BPs. And personally I think it's fine the way it is. Putting shackles on players is not nice, everyone should be able to come and go as they please.

Qloshae Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Remind me if I am wrong, but you don't actually lose resources or anything when they copy some of your research right? So then, what is the issue? That said, a 7 day grace period might be fine, it is not a huge amount of time if you want to be in a clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coatduck Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 i have 3 clans, deus ex tempus, deus ex tempus flame, and deus ex tempus lightning Should probably specify that it's an alliance you're referring to, not a clan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouHaveShamedYoFamory Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Should probably specify that it's an alliance you're referring to, not a clan. They are just branches of my clan so its ok to refer to all of them as a single unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEATHSCYTHE38 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Okay I agree 1 to 3 months is to long maybe a 7 to 14 grace period would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semshol Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Okay I agree 1 to 3 months is to long maybe a 7 to 14 grace period would be better. 24 hours dude. That's an MMO standard. 7 to 14 is still extremely long. At most they'll be denied 24 hours. However, a cumulative penalty would be fine to stop clan jumpers (as opposed to a long penalty on each jump). Example: 1st time leaver - 24 hours. If they leave within 7 days. Period extended to 7 days before joining. This is the 2nd round penalty. Next they must stay for 14 days, otherwise period extended to 14. And it is capped at 14. That would be alright.
