Sure do hate it when I get signed out of sites for no reason : /

Anyway, I don't see why it makes players less likely to join a clan. If anything, they would get it, be all "OMG THIS IS AWESOME I WANT MORE", and grind up to the point that they can get the "real thing"; in this case, Acrid. They then continue playing with it, getting them 30 ticks closer to Acrid's rank. They might even join a clan just to be in position to craft Acrid ASAP when they hit r7, as well as having a pool of people to run with and level even faster.

And on the way to r7, they grow to like the clan, and stay even after crafting Acrid, having learned the value of friendship, the true meaning of Christmas, etc~

See? Having lower-ranked versions of weapons with similar characteristics works out just fine.
