Eco Clan Requests (in General)

Ok, so Eco clans arent that appealing, only real good thing going for them is the 5% less on forging fees. This doesnt seem equal to being #1 standard clan getting 15% extra rewards everyday for most top 3 standard clans.

I was just thinking, it would be really cool if Eco clans had a % higher rate of forging. Like instead of my MH going up 1.2% per cycle, it would go up 1.5% per cycle or approximate. Like 15-20% higher forge rates.

Second thought, Next to the RPM %, can there be something that tells you what the previous cycle went up in % ?

... Example: Rough progress meter: 78.014% - Cycle: 1.245%

Being in a econ clan, and knowing that there aren't really many advantages even when you do forge, that sounds like a great idea. The Cycle-o-meter would help tremendously to know how many BA i need to finish off the upgrade, instead of buying too much and wasting money. Econ clans don't draw as many people as standard clans simply because they don't appeal as much. It should change to where it's an (almost) equal decision on whether a player should go to a standard or econ clan.

isnt paying 5% less blacksmith fees enough already :p

i forgot to mention, the discounted xfer costs, but ive only used that once or twice. Just get the other person to Loan the item to you then you dont have to xfer it back...lol

I think it might be interesting to bring the bank back for members of Eco Clans. Obviously not too great of a bank just a little added advantage to make them more appealing.

Also, shouldn't econ clans receive one Black Market vote every week, as standard clans do? It would only be fair...

Regular clan members must fight or be disbanded. What do econ members have hanging over their heads?

Yeah. What Grant said.

A swift kick in the rear if they don't generate money...in my clan at least.

So, go ahead and make econ clans be disbanded if they don't produce money. It's not a bad concept at all... /me smiles fondly on all those lesser econ clans who will be destroyed

For one thing, all Econ clans have the same benefits. This lack of competition means that, unlike normal clans, the benefits are dispensed equally amongst those who forge often, and those who do not. This also means that there is no constant struggle for the top spot, and the added benefits gained by holding it as in standard clans.

In addition, forgers can have long term jobs. I currently have a one month job, during which time I will not receive any credit for clan revenue, despite the work I am doing. You cannot do that with fighting, unless you plan on buying massive amounts of BA over an extended period of time, and using it all at once, which is completely impractical.
