MANY clans have started charging a "Membership Fee" or "Clan Dues" now, in order to "cover costs" of having a clan. They boot members who have not paid them, even if this amount changes or is repeated more than monthly.

Former clans/families before the new system did not have this money-making behavior happening- and the cost of running a new-system clan is very low, and completely transparent (visible to all) on looking at the clan system's info page.

Please create a way in which REQUIRED "membership fees" or "Clan Dues" which will be demanded by clan leaders can be automated, transparent, and changeable only once per month.

Fraud is rampant at the moment, and it's really simple to stop.

1) Create an automated system of "Membership Fees" or "Clan Dues" which keeps track of any fees which MUST be paid or you will be booted from the clan- so that fee is up front, and stated in an exact amount, which also cannot be changed or charged more often than 1 time per month.

Transparency will help people not to get scammed, or unfairly bullied into paying more than one "Clan Dues"/"Fees" amount per month, and to know EXACTLY how much that will be BEFORE they join a clan.




This suggestion has 150 supports and 25 NO supports.

Again, it is *easy* to get 3KSB or more in a day yourself, I can get an easy 10GB at times [yes, it seems impossible but it isn't]; it's literally called hunting and selling, exploring and fighting, breeding and selling.

1kSB has several easy ways to get it, and taking from what others have said; don't make a clan if you can't get the monthly renewal fee.
And, again, if you have several dedicated people to the clan and keep reminding them about donations being welcome, then you can easily gather a sufficient amount. My clan has gathered a mix of SB and GB and that's because we have so many generous members and we keep pushing the donation reminders in every mass message, announcement and raffle we make. We constantly mention it and we give out perks to those who donate mass amounts [ofc, not huge perks, just a role] and we do it *every* time. It is not hard to do raffles either, we've only just started and we already plan to do several hybrid, lethal and mass mutie raffles like we have already. Me and my admins are dedicated to our clan, and none of us see the need for a monthly fee, nor should it be a thing in the first place. Joining clans is supposed to be fun, not money-draining.

I'm personally in a LOT of clans, and I know people who are in over 100, or more, just imagine THE AMOUNT of fees they'd have to pay to just stay in them; especially if they're already struggling.

I'm supporting this due to an experience in the past with a clan not stating it required monthly fees on it's clan page then when it's clan announcement rolled out it stated that monthly fees were required.
I left. I have no problem with supporting clans I join but I like to know what I'm getting into beforehand.

An In-Game System for those wanting to require monthly fees is needed. It's too open for abuse otherwise.

Those not wanting to charge fees could either set the fee to 0 or set it to no monthly fees.

But either way, it should be required to be stated on the Clan's Page that fees of any kind are required.

Edit: I'm aware that SB Transactions - Incoming shows the reasons that people donated to a clan, but still believe an actual system would be best.

I support

Not everyone participates in the raffles and I have to scramble to get the SB for the monthly dues/expansion of the clan on my own. This is not an easy thing to do as I am working on getting the best prizes I can get for the raffles/contests. Even encouraging my clan members to donate isn't helping. Membership fees would definitely help with offsetting the costs!

After being on lioden a little longer than I originally commented [and having forgotten about this], I will mention i support the post as with the current state of the economy, larger clans are harder to manage, even with donations.
