Could we get an Option to Auto Deny Clan Invites ?

[triumphgt6]

We tend to invite players that we have played in a battle with who either played well with or against us or were particularly amusing in chat. A fair number were people who killed me! Always message first and we are just really an oil collecting clan so have just about everything except super ship facilities but really just play for our own amusement and look for others who want to do the same. The beginning of battle spam amuses me! Our only stipulation is a sense of humour! I suppose what we really need for those annoyed by unsolicited invites would be a fake clan tag - or a NOT A CLAN tag! Should not be tricky to arrange - or just take over a redundant clan and change the name - we used to be YEEET.

Not Interested.

You take the clan thingy too seriously, if you like to play alone just pick one with a short non remarquable tag to get bonuses and never talk to anyone, who cares ? There are plenty of players doing just that. +10% ressources and reduced ship cost is not negligible.

Seeing as 4 people left in December I would assume something changed in the group dynamic and the 4 who left decided it was better not to stay......

Relationships change and sometimes it is just better to just leave an environment whilst still on good terms.....

If you're not enjoying something just quietly stop and then later reappear without all the usual drama we've seen often.....

 

And there's the Groucho Marx philosophy: "I wouldn't want to join any clan which would have me"

 

Just let us set a flag to auto decline Clan Invites, a nice yellow flag for "I'm under quarantine".......

Mind Explaining what You think I meant :)

Because I have a feeling you got no Idea ^^

 

I think you wanted to say that you feel you as a person are associated with the quality of the product and general reputation of the company that you are advertising. A negative association causes you discomfort that is not easily compensated by money. In extreme cases, a company's reputation can be so low, that your social life would suffer. Certainly 20€ would be too little and, since you mentioned it, I can only assume that 500€ would not be enough for you either. Right now i wouldn't drive around with a Gazprom logo even for 50.000€.

You were using that comparison to express that most clans in your opinion have such a low standing that you don't feel their clan benefits can compensate for the loss in reputation.

Please correct me if I got it wrong.

This reminds me of the so called Society Experts on TV, speculating why a member of a royal family blew their nose.

The key word "ASSUME". Reminds me of the last devblogs of WG.

In my Eyes. You dont take it Seriously enough.

Yep. That is mostly Wrong.....

 

I dont give a Rats Rear about being Associated with something regardless of its Reputation as long as I myself Like it.

I actually wonder how You got to that Idea. You.ve known me for a while. You should be aware that I dont really care what others think about me.

That Product could be something entirely Hated by others. And thus actually be bad for my Reputation. But if I liked it. Then I would be able to Negotiate a Price for me to Advertise it.

 

The Reason I increased the Price for You is simple.

You said it would be Humiliating. And 20 Euro isnt enough to Compensate for that.

So I increased the Price to See how much your Pride would Cost.

I myself as I said above would not care at all about what others around me would think. The Reason I would never do it. Is because I would consider that to be Dishonest. I dont like that Product. So I am not Advertising it. Simple as that. Negotiating a Price is not really on the Table for me in that case.

 

So thats the one Part you guessed Correctly. That 500 Euro would not be enough for me. You can add several 0s there and it would still not be Enough. Because my Pride is something I consider as very Importand. No matter how much Money I get for something. If the Next Day I would look in the Mirror and be Ashamed of it. It would be Worthless to me. It would feel to me like someone Bought Me. And whatever they Offered would have been the Pricetag on my Pride.

 

If I cared about Reputation I could easily just Join a Good Clan. Then I would likely get more Benefits and my Reputation would not Suffer at all.

But I have no Intention to do that either. Because I would not Join a Clan unless I mean to Join it ;)

As I said Mate.

I am not Interested in Joining a Clan that I have no Intention to be a part of.

And with no Offense Intended. But the Fact that You would Invite People like this pretty much Disqualifies your Clan for me.

 

You are in a bit of a moment 22 situation 

Solution to your issues is that you need to be in a clan so you wont get invited but you dont want to join a clan unless want to and especially not if you were invited..

 

I was in two other clans and left them both, subsequently I got a lot of invites, got fed up and created/payed for my own, never had an invite since..

I would (probably) never participate in any clan activities if someone were to join my clan

 

Did have had thoughts of joining a larger "no strings attached"  clan for the better benefits but my benefits have grown and are ok (ish) nowadays

 

Another option for you  would be if WG implemented a no invites option but everyone knows that is not likely to ever happen

 

Good luck..

Not sure Catch 22 is a Fitting thing for something causing Moderate Annoyance. After all I am not gonna lose anything by Just Ignoring this.

I am Annoyed by being Invited into Clans Randomly so I am asking for an Auto Decline Option that most Good Games Nowdays have.

But its not like I am Gonna Die from it.

If WG cant even add such a Basic Function to their Game then this just puts the Game into a Bad Light and my Inbox will keep Filling with Invites that I will never bother Answering.

 

And not to cause Offense. But the Idea that People Seriously think I would Bend my Personal Values for some Online Game seems rather Offensive and Pitiful to me.

What this game needs is a status switcher.

• Online - As it is right now
• Stealth - Show offline in the friends list and don't pop up in player search - with option to be visible to clan members
• AFK - If you are online but being AFK for a bit or you simply don't want to have chat popups
• DND - Leave me alone mode: block all kind of invites, block post battle chat, block popups for surveys or if something on Twitch dropped. Just leave me alone mode.

The clan invite thingy should be a separate option and was asked in the past by other players as well. But we all know WG and what they will say: "We have it on the list but it is not high priority right now", which translate to "Hahaha dream on, sucker".
