From the AMA, reason for the cap sounded like it was due to 40 being the normal cap for other games that Fizzer has played.

It would be nice to have a comparison of what clan sizes are in games outside of Warzone.

I think you’re an alt

I know a game, called WarLight, it didn't have a clan cap. Shockingly, it worked. There was a large variety of clans.

we need uncapped clans

8 Ball Pool has 50 per Club

World of Tanks had 100 last time I checked

Grover

uncapped communities lead to chaos and too much hassle

around 50 is I think the sweet spot

Top Troops has 30 per Clan

art of war3 used to have 80 per clan, and they also reduced it to 40.

what they did, however, was making clans not recruit more players until they had 40, essentially forcing them to reduce their privileges once their players became inactive

i dont think this is a solution anybody would want for warlight though. i certainly dont want Harmony to be uncapped and uncapable of recruit further.
it would break their community to pieces (literally)

i came back after years, and the clan was dead. still 80 players, but everyone had become inactive, and only 2 or 3 still played. the leader stayed with inactives because kicking them would lose their possibility if they ever came back, and they died in the process

World of Tanks Blitz - 50 people

Some additional context:
Clans in WoTB face the same issues as in capped clans in Warzone.
In order for the whole clan to get the rewards, every clan member is forced to do clan-based missions (yet, they are mostly done during normal play), which take at least a few hours of play time per week per person on average.
Obligation to do a certian amount of missions per week, is always a requirement to enter any non-dead clan. Clans constantly remove players, who fail to do the required amount.
I have seen multiple times, that the need to invest efforts into managing clan roster led to a burnout of clan managers, so they would give up and their clans eventually died or became non-relevant.

Game like Clash of Clans, Raid: Shadow Legends or World of Tanks use clans to:
1) Force player activity in order to get into relevant clans --> hooking up players in the process
2) Force microtransactions in order to get into elite clans (limited spaces)
3) Giving players in elite clans responsibility for the wellbeing of other clans, furthermore hooking them up.

All leads into players who spend money in the game being more hooked up and spend more money.

Warzone's model is different. The purpose of clans is to gather players community, rather then milk them for money. Hence all comparisons are irrelevant.

Maybe this was true some time ago. Yet since the introduction of Clan Wars and WZ Idle, clans in Warzone demonstrate all the same observable patterns which, for example, clans in World of Tanks Blitz do.

And if you would like to leave Clan Wars out of this scope equation, then the single biggest issue of the clan cap goes away. Everyone is free to have their own "non-CW community clan".

Last War 100 players
Hero wars.com 40 players

maybe we should have an option to create a uncapped clan but it cant take part in cw

^That’s a bad idea because that locks out lots of pre-existing clans from playing in CW. CW is meant to be allowed for anyone to play.

perhaps 80, and then any clan with more than 80 currently can't add more till they get below 80
