Ultimately, my point is merely that I agree with JJosh. I don't begrudge you for the recruiting you've done so far, it's not your responsibility to care about what's best for the server, so if you want to continue to recruit from other servers and make a 600, or 800, or 1k country super-clan, then good for you.
However, that's not the question that JJosh asked.
He merely asked if it's best for the competitive nature of the server. I think MLB's lack of a salary cap sucks because it allows the Yankees and Red Sox to be two of the best teams every year. I think College hoops during the UCLA run would have been incredibly boring, because there was no parity. I would love to see my Chicago Bulls beat the super-team that the Heat put together because parity is interesting.
When LaE was huge, there was no parity here, and I'll be honest, that was one of the few times I was ever on the "right" side of that equation for the 1 1/2 sets I was in LaE and it was definitely pretty fun to net in the safest atmosphere possible. However, there was no parity on the server.
At 400 countries, CC is not invincible. So there is still parity. The only thing I could see as bad is if CC continued to grow more and more to the point where any war you entered, any set you netted, anything else you decided to do, the end result would be a foregone conclusion before things started.
If you're happy at 400, then I don't even see that as problematic. If you're hoping to continue to get bigger and bigger (relative to the other clans), well then you and I will just have to disagree on whether that's a positive thing for the server.
