Mass recruiting is shit.
Yeah you'll get a temporary high, win a war or two, then the comedown hits, everyone hates eachother, and your clan crumples.
Looking at how easy it is to beat Jaja/ Welf (are they still about? been inactive), even with half their ops, will give you a general picture. No maging, spearing, returning, piling, sniping/ antisniping, tanking - I'd rather be on a team with 50 people who know what they're doing rather than a team of 70 mass sniping.
That said, loving the enthusiasm
A push in recruiting won't hurt, as long as it's done properly, and you have some good ideas
