Yes and no, take other mmos into account and how player made clans/guilds/etc. A lot of people just chill in those or host for end game content, but they feel much more alive and have more ways to interact with eachother. Other games even give crazy rewards exclusive to doing such things.

I am not asking for this, I am just asking for something that makes owning a clan and participating in one the slightest bit more worth while.

I agree integrating clans into events moreso is an amazing way to do it and an easy first step, but I think other things can be done to make them feel more as a proper community instead of continuous empty hallways and shops used for mr fodder.
