I have an idea to encourage more donations from teammates.
Why not implement an incentive whereby if you donate troops and they are then used in a raid, you get a percentage of the income from that raid?
Doesn't need to be a big percentage, just enough to incentivize players to donate more frequently.
Well, that sounds interesting. One of the best ideas I've heard in a while.
I support this idea!
Hard on the programmers? I could code that with less than 2 months of experience in a high school course. Here's basically all that needs to be done in words (if donated troops are used in battle, give donator 5% of profits) The gold elixer and dark elixer would then obviously be a variable that you would put in, and bam suddenly you've made money. It sounds as easy as it is, unless of course the people who are paid to code don't know how to code.Quote:

I was also thinking that how much damage the CC troops did would affect the amount of loot received.
Ok and how much additional load does it put on the system to have to track who gave what troops?Quote:

What about the loop hole of going from clan to clan and donating troops as rapidly as possible?
Doesn't seem hard to compute. There is likely already a table that keeps track of what is in your clan castle (type of troop). Instead, just map to row (type of troop, ID of user).Quote:

Allocate some fixed amt of profit to user.
}
}
The problem I see here is that you don't necessarily incentivize what is being asked for. Many people want archers, which are cheap, yet I could see people giving giants or healers because the donation benefits them even more. When you request a donation, you have no control over what is being donated other than good faith.
Wow, didn't even know that incentivize was a word 'till now... thought you guys were just making it up. Huh.
Maybe when you ask for troops, you could tap on something that allows you to choose, "if archers are donated, they will receive 2%, anything else will receive 1%". And the loot percentage you receive doesn't necessarily have to correlate to housing space of troops received, either.
Since the beginning I didn't like the idea of donations to teammates, just for the fact it's very ♥♥♥♥♥ sensitive, it's also unnecessary. Playing to gain resources & build your own town is the big idea behind Clash of Clans. If we get a donation option of let's say.. 100k per day would still be 700k p/week and 2,8million p/month. I think this would damage the CoC economy.Quote:

The percentage doesn't have too be big, just a token to reward and encourage donating. To avoid people donating whatever they want, whether someone donates a dragon or an archer they get the same percentage. Say 5/25ths or 5/30's depending on the clan castle size.
Very smart and interesting idea. Good way to get more people to donate!
Interesting... This would certainly make people donate more often. However, it should be toggle-able on / off by the clan leader. Some players wouldn't want part of their profit to go to other people, even if it's only 5-10%.Quote:

I actually really like this idea and I think it would help a lot
So we just sit and hope that Supercell see this thread and make a decision from there?
I guess. The more people see it, the better, though. As long as you don't bump your own threads.:DQuote:

Never in a million years will this be introduced, if your clan "mates" dont donate they arent worth having in your clan, you get rewarded for donating ie xp also freind in need challenge rewarded with gems.Quote:

>They take profit like this: The guy takes 200k the donator takes 10k of it but the raider takes 200k
Which way do you mean? If it is the first one then not as much people would request.
Or just join a clan with active players who donate?
Would it be from what the raider gets, or will a bonus just be added to the donator without being taken from the loot, like a league bonus?
Wait, what? If the donator takes 10k then shouldn't the raider be left with 190k?Quote:

Oops :rolleyes: did bad math yet it's my best subject lol :rolleyes: either way lemme edit that in edit mode. The first one would be bad because it would discourage some people to request, and that's a problemQuote:
