In games with clans do the clans earn cash? If so how? What would the clan use the cash for?

I've never been a part of a clan, so I don't really know how that would work. In most games a clan is just a group of people who regularly play together, even most MMO's I think don't have in game mechanics for clans. This game world is probably closest to an MMO than anything else, though it probably plays more like a character action game or FPS given the lack of levels or abilities.

I think in Sanctuary the reason for forming a clan would be for safety in numbers and to allow for the completion of larger and more difficult quests. If zeroing out is still a thing we are keeping from Ready Player One, then a clan would be a way to protect yourself in the badlands by allying with other players. MMO's also have quests and raids that can require dozens of people working together to beat, often requiring a specific strategy, decent gameplay skills and strong teamwork to beat; sure you can try and do this with a group of random people, if you want to give yourself an aneurysm, or you can join a clan and work with a consistent group of players.

As far as money goes, it would be earned by completing quests as normal. Loot would be divided by a prearranfed method and so would gold. Maybe a portion of it goes towards clan expenses/funds; maybe the clan ship can be upgraded? Either in terms of performance or amenities?

Just for future reference, editing in a tag later on doesn't send that person a message. I almost missed this question.
