Know who is on it would be so much easier for communication

Yes, it is worse than swearing. It is an invasion of my right to lurk. There already is an online indicator: open clan chat, click on the bubble, press "h" then press "i." Problem solved

What does swearing on global chat have to do with this? Maknight15 clearly outlined why this is a terrible idea. Not a single person has ever said why it is a good idea, only that it is. Why is that? Because the only reason to implement this is to badger people as Maknight15 indicated.

In case you missed it:

People don't have privacy on Facebook or such. Most people don't care. Everyone will be helped with this. So they don't have to wait minutes or hours just to get troops! I think this should happen and add in a private chat!!!! And you can also change the online in setting to busy or offline!!!! It's a perfect idea!!! Some of you don't realize what a good idea this is!!!!!!!!

There are numerous reasons why this is a horrible idea, I will highlight several:


1) People spend real money in this game and as a result they deserve their privacy. This is not some free forum, it is a game where hard-earned money is spent and people doing so should be able to play Clash of Clans without being stalked by nosy children.


2) An online status indicator will fill the clan chat logs with the following; Bill are you there? Bill why aren’t you answering, it says you are online? Bill, if you don’t answer me I’m going to boot you from the clan.


3) When many people are playing Clash of Clans they are doing many other things besides looking at the clan chat. Most people are; fixing their base, looking at the top players, watching replays, searching clans, or a number of other things. Again, the chat log will be spammed with, “Why aren’t you answering me Sally?” Well, Sally is doing other things besides looking at clan chat so that’s why she is not answering you.


4) The donation stats tell you everything you need to know about a clan member. If a person is “online” all of the time but never donates, what good are they?


5) An online status will cause friction in clans because a person will request troops and certain “online” people won’t donate because they are doing something else (see #3). The person who requested troops will be angry with “online” people who didn’t donate to them and then they will stop donating to those people as revenge. The online status indicator will open a can of worms that will eventually ruin this game.


6) Sometimes people simply want a few minutes to relax and play Clash of Clans and they don’t feel like talking to clan members at that specific time. An online status indicator will make that impossible and cause problems that I highlighted above.




Summation:


It isn't anybody's business when we are online, how long, or the last time we were online. Adults who spend money on this game don't want or need nosy people keeping tabs on our gaming activities. If you want to see a big decline in your revenue SuperCell, implement these horrible ideas. The majority of your paying customers are adults with jobs, we want to play this game in peace without stalkers marking down every time we are online.

What exactly does a social platform like FB have to do with this game?

Most people don't care, because most people are stupid. Our civil liberties are being eroded daily, but it's all good as long as we have American Idol and cheap food.

What is with this terrible "It's on Facebook so it's ok" argument? Facebook is a social networking site specifically created for meeting and interacting with other people. CoC is a mobile device game that you happen to play with other people. A lot of people who play CoC don't even have a Facebook account, and don't want the games they enjoy adopting all the features of FB.

As an experienced clasher, I think it would be better not to have this feature. I mean, sometimes as clan leader, I want to watch convos go on, to check the loyalty of members. Also, I wouldn't want to be constantly bothered for troops, especially when I have none trained. But if they did implement this, I suggest a compromise. What if you could have settings like Skype? You could have On, AFK, Do Not Disturb, Invisible, and Off. Off would be automatic, and the others could be set whenever you felt like it.

The problem with that is people would just kick anyone with invisible status.

The main issue with this idea is that there is no positive reason to implement it. All it would be used for is to bother people who clearly do not wish to be bothered at that time.

They should make it like league of legends. You can add people and then go into your friends list and it would show a green dot next to their name if they are on or a red dot if they aren't. Also the ability to block people. This would be very helpful because sometimes I want to know if my friends are on.
