Clan battles DEFINITELY splits up communities. Seen it. No bueno. Think about trials. It started out as fun for all. I never played against the same person or team twice in a weekend. They implemented a new matchmaking system and within a few months you were seeing the same names. Sometimes back-to-back. Now... It has become such a chore and highly sought after just for differently colored weapons and a rainbow effect. So few play it that I just saw a friend with a 1.5 KD who did carries in years one and two begging for help. Now you pit clan vs clan. Same. Exact. Scenario. It'll start out great fun. Everyone's clans will be participating. Then after awhile, only the same dozen clans will remain. Only it's worse than trials. No top tier clan who rightfully earned their place is going to take in a .9 or even 1.2 average into their clan just to "help" them get rewards. No matter how "average" the rewards would be, people will pay for that crap. The general idea that your PvP skills alone determine your worth right now creates a divide. I think the idea of clan wide rewards is cool. Clan vs clan may not pan out the way you want. Or maybe I'm just over thinking it and it'll be the best thing ever. Could be, rather.
