I'm late to notice your comment, but I agree it's a rather unfortunate method considering other club quests can actually be fun and engaging. I still wouldn't want it removed though until other quests or adventurine have been balanced in some way, because smaller clubs have no other feasible way of earning fixtures at the moment and the big clubs that do have fixtures often require a very high PR/mastery level or clubit donation to get in. It'd be a shame if players who want the same stats as similar players had to compete for slots in the same few big-name clubs. I don't have ideas on how they would go about improving club systems, but hopefully Trion can work something out eventually.
