1) Talk in private to a select few of people to see how they feel about their clan. Do they like the distribution system? Do they like their leaders? Which leaders do they not like and why? Do they wish they could do something different?

2) Approach the leaders you feel are most open minded. Ask them these same questions in number 1.

3) If you can gather at least 20% of the clan is interested in change or fails to trust their leaders, then you have what can be the militia to start your revolution.

4) Start out by suggesting new, probably unsatisfactory ideas in an attempt to illicit messages from leaders resembling a form of dictatorship. Use these to message players that you think this leader is unfit to hold their position.

5) Attempt suggesting radical changes. Do your clan members control what happens in the clan? Why not suggest to give them the power to vote on new leaders? The more distrust in one particular leader the more likely people will agree and want to be able to vote that leader out. Others will also like to have their voice matter, but might be too afraid to stir the pot. Therefore you should offer secret polls where votes can be counted and no names will appear.

6) Suggest a radical change in the direction you actually want to change to. Explain how it will benefit the server and provide growth to it. This will be the toughest challenge, but the more outspoken people will tend to lead the charge from here.

7) Keep picking at certain players you want to break down and get them to show their ugly side. The uglier they get the more the other players will not want to be around them and tend to agree more with your line of thought. Revolutionizing a server can take months to a year. But with the right patience, tact, and an accumulation of dirty behavior you can get any clan to break apart.

So you are advocating actual deception, maliciousness, manipulation, and being an all around bad human to attempt to unseat a dom clan?

This is the behavior of a sociopath. And any dom clan that has been around a while has had to deal with your type before.

Doesn't mean it's a bad thing, corruption within a clan isn't a rare thing and if you can turn that into an advantage then I'd say fair game on their side and tough luck on the clan.

Sociopathic behavior in a game based on working together with others is generally not a good thing.

My clan has fought for years, it’s leaders know nothing else. My fellow clansman, they know nothing else. We log for every unox due and we try to outlock. We log for proteus dues against T10 dg rangers decked out in gele and bt gear and we freaking try (assuming we have a decent group of course). Many days are rough, they make us question if any of it is worth it. If the millions we’ve invested in our toons are worth it. If all the struggling and pushing is worth it. Then we have good days, we out lock this clan of dg t10 over-geared toons. And it feels so damn good. We treat our clannies with love and respect, because we have one thing the dom clan, in all its grandeur and overwhelming mass has lost; the familial bond. We fight together, we cry together, we get frustrated together. And in the end, we are together.

What we do for our server goes largely unappreciated. We keep the competition alive. Without competition a sever is essentially dead, in my opinion at least. There is no joy in free gear, no real sense of accomplishment. The joy comes from fighting for it and earning it. From utilizing years old gear from years old bosses to the best of your abilities. From facing a group of toons geared like you never will be, and giving them a fight.

We lose. Often. But that hasn’t stopped us. It pushes us forward. It’s hard. Sometimes they whisper sweet nothings in our ears, seducing us with the promise of gear, luring us with their activity. But we know better. We ask not what our clan will do for us, we ask what we can do for it.

If the dom clan is withholding drops from the rest of the world and preventing perfectly good people from being able to enjoy the game, then yes, they do deserve it. There are a good amount of dom clans that just cut off invites when they have enough people, or exile others just out of dislike for them(even when they haven't done anything wrong).

These tips have potential, and can help even out the odds. It's not like you are going to have much of a chance fighting a clan that is clearly better then yours, sometimes you have to get creative to make things happen.
