An Idea to better the econ clan (in General)


Wrath July 20 2006 7:33 PM EDT

First Econ clans could have a type of armory
Example: anyone in the clan can donate weapons to the armory and you can borrow items from the armory.
Second donate cash to the clan
Example: on the my stats clan page there should be a donate to clan button so people can donate money to the clan to get bigger and better weapons.
DONT YELL AT ME IF YOU DONT LIKE THESE IDEAS.

If you donate money to the clan, who gets the money? The rest of the clan members? How does doing so allow clan members to get bigger and better weapons?

The clan boss would get the cash to better the armory.

This isnt that great of an idea because there is rentals. You can always cm a clan mate and request to borrow something. etc.


"Second donate cash to the clan

How would this work? To me, in a way, This sounds like a forger thing. People pay them to forge up there weapons, while those that wait for there weapons return may or maynot receive a temporary weapon in return.


Yes, Economy clans could use a little change just for kicks. However, i dont see how these changes would work or even benifit an Econ clan. Maybe if you put up a little more details about each idea of yours it could possibly be molded into a good idea. As of right now, It's definitely not going to happen.

Economy clans, if they were to improve, would benefit from having benefits. For instance, what's the point in having the largest income in a week? There's no real reason for anyone in the clan to work together.

The way I always envisioned it was more like a corporation. The clan would take on forge jobs on loan accounts, not individual people. People would log on and forge whatever happens to be in the queue of the clan. Profits could either be split equally, or prorated based on "forge points", the econ's equivalent of clan points. The clan owner would go get work, and essentially farm it out to his clan. The clan members would have to meet a quota. I dunno... something like that.

The focus, I guess, would be to have the people work together to capitalize on their combined money-earning potential. Otherwise, there's no point at all to being in a clan of more than one person.

The benefit to having the biggest income in a week means that you are then richer than people in other economic clans, I don't see that as "non-beneficial".

Income, as tracked in the standings, doesn't mean you're getting richer. My econ clan is 2nd for the week, solely because a loan was repaid to me on which I netted about 100k.

ok, the calculation of income and such is slightly out of whack but doesn't mean econ clans need anything else on top of what they already have.

is it all econ clans or just the top ones who get the 5% forging fee (wasn't there a xfer fee bonus to other clan members as well?) discount?

Zoglog[T] [big bucks] July 21 2006 12:50 PM EDT

all econ clans get the cheap xfers and reduced forging fees novice so other than my point there is no bonus to being at the top.

I think allowing the transfer of loaned items between economic clan members would be really beneficial and would improve eco. clans a lot. How you ask? Well it is simple, somebody loans an item for forging to anyone in the clan. Then the clan member transfer the items between themselves, forging whenever they have the ba to do so. This would allow clan forgers to get it done faster, and thus charge more compared to single forgers.
