In like 2011 and a lot better than they are now?
What do you think? I personally liked it a lot back then, RAT was awesome, VS was awesome, FEAR was alright, VAK was awesome, and mostly clans were just great and active, fun to raid, fair.

Everyone was younger, roblox catered to a different age group, which initially got all the people 'we liked' back then interested in the game, They change their advertising strategy, & we grew up, that's it. |

Look at things today and you'll have your answer.
-YOU MUST HAVE [X] AMOUNT OF PEOPLE BEFORE RAIDING!!! -Don't flame me or you're banned! -I declared war yesterday. These are my terms. Accept or it's my win! -Final battle is this friday. Winner is the war victor; raid wins doesn't matter. -ONE OF YOUR MEN LEFT, IT'S AN EMPTY SERVER RAID!! -THERE ISN'T ENOUGH DEFENDERS HERE, EMPTY SERVER RAID! -TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY THROW AWAY THE SIMPLICITY |

The decay of this community, & the way we view is only inevitable.
That's why I stopped trying to improve the community long ago.
The users are also entirely powerless to change anything without the help of the admins, who ultimately are unwilling to cooperate. Really it's a point of accepting what you can't control, then working around it. |

Really reason why the older players that; 'we liked', who improved on the game's overall experience for us as a whole have left, is because roblox doesn't update anything to keep them interested in the game (Well not fast enough anyway),
& that there's literally no point to this game, because the choices of most players have little to no effect on the community, or the game as a whole. there is no raid win/losse system, any & every raid erupts in; forum flame, name calling, exploits, auto winnings, ect.
There's simply no point to attacking other user's virtual games anymore.. I mean you're always at the mercy of some; 'Graniose titled, admin wielding maniac', who ultimately controls the server you're in, & in extension, your attack's outcome. |

everyone thinks it's better because:
1. nostalgia makes you biased 2. we didn't have much of a standard back then. if RAT back then existed today, it'd be hated 3. roblox was exciting back then, players saw it through rose-tinted glasses
needs more laserdisc |

More than likely, when the "group feature" was added, it was mainly just a bunch of friends who made silly little groups and would run around and do fun things. It probably grew once people got into the fad of war clans and started to build things that made them look cooler like forts and stuff.
Basically, the old clans were more personal and tight-knit. Now with 100k+ group members, you simply don't have that inter-personal connection with people.
That is what makes small clans elite.

| I think clans would be MUCH better if Roblox were to implement some sort of system to make wars better. Something to make it not up to the two, bickering sides. |

We've explained this over and over again
It has nothing to do with everyone getting nostalgic. It has to do with the fact that it's getting easier and easier to make a superclan, we get flooded with hundreds of more giant clans. So next time you get exiled you won't go 'Please let me rejoin I love this clan!", no people'll just be like 'I'll just join the next big clan'.
Back in the older times, there were less clans, and people were more loyal and had more fun. Clans were more based on being 'little communities' rather than just groups of fighting soldiers |
