I’ll say it: Horrible change.
I know clans have really been seen as PvP for most of the game, but after Vetex’s rant I was hoping that he would add enough PvE and solo clan content to make them work. There’s already the infamy block when in servers without other clans, so why force interaction instead of making it optional? Give people the chance to make huge impressive fortresses without the risk of a toxic clan coming in to stop them, add pirate raids or something so there is PvE content to make you fight for your island. My clan was basically just made as a joke with friends. I don’t want to be forced into this.
Also, might I note, this blocks off players who want to stay PvE completely from participating in clan building almost entirely.
