^poster - it is because these players are all about playing Clan in an RP way. If you knew that, your comment would have been ameliorated somewhat.
Without specific rules and guidelines about becoming and being a member of a Clan, this is going to happen. Clan-centric players take being Clan seriously that is why the Clan-centric player will always be better than the other factions.
Clan Blood Spirit's solution?
Since the Homeworlds Clans are nowhere in PGI's planning (at least for the nonce), We few players who have been Blood Spirits for about 10 years have decided to be part of an invading MW:O Clan as adjunct Mechwarriors - (ostensibly contract implies mercenary, but you get the gist). Since there really are so few of us who even have MW:O loaded up, we can outfit about a Star +. When our Trothkin who ARE one of the invading Clans requires a filler pilot or Star (or 4 points as PGI will have it) we will answer the call to serve as CBS pilots. We thank the ones who have granted us the chance to participate. (psssst, we currently have Star League Era mechs - can you help us out with some Scat C's and Locust IIc mechs?)
The Homeworlds Clans can have their own Community Warfare just by having their own league of just Clan - ALL of them if we have the collective will to pull it off.
PGI has monkeyed with the BT/MW canon sufficiently (pretty much fast and loose if you ask me) that "WE" can play as Clan should be able to, within the confines of their F2P (Fee to Play) game, without having to depend on the few Inner Sphere factions who have no concept of what Clan warfare really is about. Mercenaries will outnumber the Larger factions and you know they will all be piloting Clan tech (salvage doncha know) unless effective Clan mech operation is beyond them. They will not understand what Clan is either. So, the player who enters casually into Clan membership should be prepared with the knowledge that a Clan does not and should not accept players lightly. Any Clan (BT clan, not those made up groupings better called teams) should be drafting up their rules of entry so that prospectives can get an idea of what they are getting into.
