Traditionally in MMOs, you join a clan or guild to share resources and strategies plus show who your friendlies are.
As there is not clan vault or player trading of any kind along with there looking to be no conquering of virtual territory, what is the basic purpose behinds clans in Destiny? You don't need a clan to squad up and go on raids as you can just use your gaming network's friends list and and PVP is so simple it doesn't care what clan you're in.

Although I anticipate many of my friends to buy and play Destiny, I joined a clan (Astral) to expand the number of people that will possibly be on at the same time as I am. Also, Raids are for 6 people, and being in the clan allows for people to plan times and days better, especially having a forum/website. The best case scenerio is that my PSN friends join the same clan that I am in. Since I am in a clan, they can click on profile and see what clan I'm in and follow link to clan.
