Are clans pointless?

[Nativo]

I think clans are almost necessary. Why? Because you get to know people better, because you improve your skills (in some cases), because it's more likely that you'll enjoy the game if you know the people playing with you (you got their mail or some other way of comunicating that makes it safer too), mostly because if you choose a clan is because the guys in it are a lot like yourself (or at elast that would be my way of choosing). A smaller community within a bigger community, much more personal i think.
