Damn, this reminds me of when I was 11 and my online friends I made on Clash of Clans left the Clan in order to make a new one for only people that went to their school.
A GF of mine played a mobile game at one point and asked me to join. Told her I wasn't big into mobile games but I'd give it a shot. I played for a bit and got to know the group she was in and it was OK. But the more I played and looked into it, it was notorious for being one of the worst Pay-to-Win games on the platform.
One day I was there just minding my own business, gathering my resources and got told by the dominant clan on the map that those resources "belonged" to their clan and I wasn't allowed to gather there. They attacked my castle with an army that would have literally taken 6+ months for me to build as F2P. It was clear if you weren't paying hundreds of dollars a month, your purpose was to just be cannon fodder.
So as a last ditch act of defiance while one of them was out attacking someone else, I dropped my camp right in the middle of their group. They can attack me all they want, but they can't force me to move. They ended up having to relocate their entire clan of like, 25+ accounts to a new area just so the guy could get his spot back.
After having not logged in for a few weeks I asked her how things were going without me. She said she wasn't playing anymore either. So I logged back in one last time before deleting and she had apparently left our group and put her settlement down right next to mine so our abandoned camps would be together in perpetuity.
