Ages ago when they first introduced clans they promised to expand upon them. Years later they still haven't. Instead their focus seems to have been designing all money making (broken) equipment that always pisses off half the community that will also always piss of the other half when it inevitably gets NERFed.
I'm going to refer to Pasha's line again about the supposed philosophy in designing new equipment. So before adding anything to the game they consider if the game needs equipment like it. Cause who the hell thinks the game needs a mech that can freely traverse the map while invulnerable? Let alone SHOOT A WEAPON AT YOU AT THE SAME TIME!? I imagine if you were to survey the players you'd find the answer to be, oh yeah, VIRTUALLY NOBODY!
But what's something that lots of players think the game does need? For the clan system to be expanded! But is plarium going to do that? No! Why? Because what's more fun than destroying someone in a competitive game? Very little is. Wrecking your opponents in competitive games releases a whole lot of dopamine. And a lot of people are willing to pay for that dopamine hit. Since you don't need skill you don't need to work for the kills or victories, so it provides instant gratification. Doesn't matter that it's not their personal skill that got them the victory or the kill. Actually many of these people have fooled themselves into thinking that yes, it is in fact their personal skill that got them the kills and the victories and the underskilled ones are actually the ones trying but struggling to find solid counters to the broken new equipment. Eventually though either the high wares off or the thing gets NERFed and plarium introduces another new, yet more broken piece of equipment.
I agree they really aught to expand the clan system. But hopefully with no FOMO stuff cause mech arena has enough of that already. In fact I'd like to see less of that. But I don't expect clan changes to be coming anytime soon. It seems plarium would rather focus their resources on finding out how to give dopamine junkies another hit in exchange for cash.
