[quote][b]I have a total of 37+ community members. It’s getting harder and harder to recruit when people don’t wanna be social or helpful. Pretty frustrating when you’re tryna run a clan that socializes and will pitch in to talk or help each other.[/b] Let’s talk about something real quick. You grow your community, your clan, you do great and then it all goes downhill. It gets worse and worse and sometimes makes you either disband or wanna say: “what am I doing with my life?” At the end of the day we’re all just members of the community only sitting with certain people because we all have personalities, different quirks and perks, and whatnot. It’s more or less when you invite people into your community to make sure they fit. But it’s not always the case since it’s on both ends. Either you, the clan recruiter just invite people without reading what they’re looking for or the invitees don’t read what the clan expects So what was the point of this post? Well if you got the bottom you would see that I am not looking to merge or anything at all. In fact, I won’t ever do so. Doing public tests like these show if you as a recruiter care what people say. So let’s see how this social experiment goes[/quote] I agree with you, totally. I'd personally forget trying to recruit the 'right fit' guardian. Each time it's a lottery. What they state in their post can be, and often is, completely inaccurate. I mean, hardly anyone is going to admit that they intend on joining for the freebies and will literally do nothing. It happens in all clans, what you have described. They all have those who join and don't get involved. Those who join say hello, then leave because they've had no reply after 2 minutes. And ofc, let's not forget those who join a clan only to LFG every session. There's literally nothing you can do. I've literally just returned after 18 months away from the game, and I see the same people, typing the same thing, trying to recruit. Pretty much says it all.
