First, we lost people who didn't have the clan tag, but that was understandable. Now, though, people are slowly leaving my clan to join larger clans for the rewards. I can't even tell my own clanmates that they should stay because that would mean I'm actively telling them to get less out of the game. That just wouldn't be fair.
I'm really disappointed in this new system. My friends shouldn't have to be in other, bigger clans just so they can get more out of the game and I shouldn't have to open my clan to a few dozen strangers just to keep up. I want my clan to be hand-picked people that I want to enjoy the game with, just like how clans were routinely spoken about by Bungie. How can I do that when there are now incentives to join bigger clans instead?

The clan feature and guided game weren't improvements, most clans are toxic, and if they aren't they are small and only play with people they know. Adding those clan rewards didn't help. Now players are looking for bigger clans.
