A rant by yours truly.
ROBLOX Clans have been completely falling apart in the past, oh year? Why, is the question so many of us have. We can rule out these points for being responsible;
a) Poor Leadership - Poor leadership has been a factor in so many clans pre-dating 2013. Clans still retained stable structure and whatnot.
b) Monetary wealth - Monetary wealth has always been a key factor in the development of clans. There's always someone with money looking to have the new best thing, and use their riches to their advantage. These people are considered our "Patrons of the groups"; a connection to Renaissance time in Italy, where the Medici's ruled Florence, and patronized the arts.
So then, why do they lose their touch? It was quite clear before 2013, it was all fun and games for all of us. Our trainings didn't consist of being lectured.
It's one word.
Simplicity.
Over complication has plagued the clan world after a variety of new systems for clans (I am not referring directly to in game engines, such as Spectrum, rather "guides", and "internal structure"). The magic touch of joining a clan, meeting the people at an event and enjoying yourself has been lost in all of this. These days, you go to an event, your yelled to "shutup", and given overly complicated things to do. Back then it was all simple. It's why rapid development member wise of clans has shrunken compared to the first years of the clan community.
Not only that, but INNOVATIVE SIMPLE ideas have been lacking. It's all been extremely complicated, yet innovative. You want to draw new people into the group? You want to not have clans act as a chore? Make it fun, simple, and entertaining. Your not there to show off, how I place it, your "keyboard kommando skills", your there to be nice, entertain and lead your members while still retaining a leadership role. The relationship shouldn't be that one of you is scared of the other, it should be a relationship that keeps both the high command and the clan VERY comfortable with the rest of the clan, so much that if one member has an issue with another, they can voice it freely without drama about who's getting exiled and whatnot. It's stupid, and we've witnessed it time and time again over this year. It sickens me to the stomach, and I'm sure to most of you, it does too.
Clans have become too generic with their complicated ideas at that, all of them having some sort of futuristic aspect. Why should we all be in space? Why can't we represent our lives on Earth with clans like USSF, USA, Ro-Nations, PMC's, colonial era groups, robotics groups the rest of the clan community that's been pushed under the bus by a select cult of members from these generic groups who essentially govern the community using their fame and fortune? They're not the only fish in the sea, there's still another large chunk of the community that is ignored on a daily basis.
It's time to bring back simplicity and innovation.

How about we get some brilliant minds without tunnel vision to reimagine clan systems?
Clans have been so repetitive for 4+ years. It's time for change. |

| Wow, support greatly. You're completely correct about everything, and how it's going. Now if all clan leaders can read and understand this. :/ |

This is a good statement. However, the simplicity can also be a con. Gameplay is something To it on I stated that is a major issue with clans. You don't want a fort so simple in means of gameplay that it becomes unappealing. I do think that there are moments where simplicity is a good factor in some cases, but in gameplay, it should be a bit more complex.
In my opinion, there should be more complex combat scenarios where gamers will have to think of what elements of gaming to use in situations. |

| @gavindude97, it's funny how you say this, but only been on ROBLOX since 2012. You're obviously ignorant, a forum troll or even both. |

| Alright good. You were from the past, so you're obviously being ignorant to the plain out statement. It's not that Venom is saying he could start a better one, it's just about a rant of how they're collapsing. |
