The difference between 20 defence and 30 is huge, and 20 defence has been accepted in pure clans since the early days
The difference between 10 defence and 20 is huge, and being accepted doesn't make it right (30 defence is accepted by most clans).
and how is the difference huge? The only bonus you get from 10-20 is mithril armor,mystic, mith defender...What else? Not much... Sure mystic is good but it doesn't give you as big of a boost as Turmoil does when you get 30 def.
I'm not saying its right, but a 1 def pure fighting a 20 def pure is NOT THAT BAD, they can still manage to win because the 20 def pure doesn't have insane offensive bonuses. But when it comes to 1 def fighting 30, its nearly impossible, especially with soulsplit.
You're complaining about an account in a pure clan with offensive bonuses? I'd rather have 30 defence accounts with turmoil in my clan than 20 defence accounts with mithril. I don't really see 30 defence (or 5+ for that matter) accounts as being pure, but at least they have great offensive bonuses instead of mostly defensive bonuses.
Well with that reasoning then why dont you accept 45 defence? Even more offensive bonuses and its only 3 combat levels higher than a maxed turmoil pure?
Lets get back on topic here.
1 def pures are no longer the best "build", the main topic here is why do they stay 1 defence, and why don't they branch off and make their own community because the difference between 1 and 30 is so immense.
I'm clanless, but the one clan I lead was 10- defence. As for 1 defence pures making their own clan, I'd say that in most cases, they probably don't care anymore. I'm sure most are in their clan for the community or for good trips (which accounts with defence can help give). Also, a clan with low defence requirements can not accept as many members as a clan that accepts higher defence accounts. So in that aspect, they are already at a disadvantage. Not even counting the advantage defence gives in actual fights.
