    Clans are the best way to learn how to play this game. When you join a clan they will teach you what they now. Its a shared experience. It also helps you keep a decent level of play. In MP one noob will ruin a whole game. You are only as good as your weakest team mate.

    The point in clans you ask? Is it not more fun to play together than to play on your own. Also as you improve clan members and other clans ofer a much beter standard of play. Since I started to know other clans I have really had some fun games. As Gawain mentioned above it also does help you keep a desent level of play. As for clans making trouble, I have found it best to stay out of those sort of things. In many situations I have heard and seen many personal arguments turn into all out swearing contests. But I must admit theres more pluses to a clan than there are negatives.

    There are many players out there that are far better players from learning how to play before coming to MP. Why do so many have no inclination to join a clan?

    Clans have their good points and bad. It is up to the individual which course they want to take.

    Some people prefer to play as individuals, and are good players too.

    Some like the feeling of belonging to a clan.

    The choice is yours

    Players who are good now, are still able to ruin games.

    4 individually weak players who work as a team will beat 4 starplayers that don't.
    anyone who's capable of good teamplay isn't "weak" imo. And the other way round is true for "starplayers"

    'will' ?? How is any 'newcomer' (I detest the term 'noob') expected to learn.

    a "noob" is a bad player, usualy with a bad mouth aswell, who refuses to listen to more experienced players. There is nothing wrong with beginners, but if they charge of toward 3 opponents while their teammates are still grouping together and telling the guy to come back - which he doesnt - then this beginner can officially be classified as a "noob" and just ruined a game.

    I have never seen a player come from sp and be good right away at MP.

    Its realative as to whos playing. If in a 4 on 4 .7 players are equal and one is weaker rest assured a good team will find that weakness.

    4 individually weak players who work as a team will beat 4 starplayers that don't.
    Isnt this what clans are about?

    Again Im speaking of BAD players like those [cF]Adherbal was speaking of. In those cases the games over before it begins. I guy who takes all v0 units and no range units has pretty much condemned you to loose before the battle even starts.
