Shadow's got a point, being in a clan isn't totally pointless. I mean, you can't expect to be in good terms with everybody even if you're not in a clan. As I see it, joining a respectable clan is a good way to make friends, improve your skills, etc. specially to newbies who don't know their way around. Of course, I'm not just talking about JJ2, I'm talking about multiplayer games in general, since that's the topic. If you can't see the point, then don't join any.
