Are Clan games happening too often????

I myself agree with the gasps in this thread, who are writing sense. I cannot for the life of me understand why people are hating on the OP saying - "WAHHH ITS FREE STUFF WAHHHH YOU DONT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE". This is false.

If you don't participate your clan could kick you, not participating will negatively affect your clan. Unlike any other game feature. Its not like if you just opt out and not participate in clan games your clan will go, "oh, you aren't participating in helping us reach the good tiers, so you might be the reason I don't get a book of heroes?...hmmm OK .. Cool man!"... See where this is going?

Too many clan games ARE bad for the game, people WILL get burnt out and it will be bad for the game long term, if there are too many. I stated this in the first thread Lach posted about how often the games should be. Many were saying 2 times a month is fine, otherwise, burnout. Now its every week and I can see burnout occurring in many clans. Yes to the books, of course, but too many in too short a time means people have to farm crazily in order to use the books before the next clan games demands you claim your new book or lose it. How can people NOT see this as a possible bad thing? Come on guys, open those eyes past the very generous rewards. Seems some people are just seeing the $$$(And books) reward signs in their eyes and not seeing what it could do for the game.

Thank you Darian for your post regarding the future clan games, its appreciated. I want whats best for the game in the long run, clan games are awesome and amazing and we are all grateful, but too often? Will be bad for the game overall. Even though some of you are loving its frequency at the moment, that's most likely because you play a lot. The game is not populated only by the addicted. I have an incredibly busy life and there are times doing 2 war attacks, 5-6 multiplayer (clan games) attacks, and builder base attacks in one day is far too much. If I don't get it in though, I feel bad for my clan and could potentially catch trouble with other leaders. That's not fair on people without the available time to make all these attacks day in day out. If clan games were less often, I could better arrange things to be more free on a clan games day and play a few hours and get my points in. But at the end of these clans games in the last two weeks we'd have had what, 12 clan day games? PHEW!

disclaimer: My clan is big and we're easily completing the highest tier each time, so my post has nothing to do with whining that my clan can't make the biggest rewards.

Clans games not need to be this much frequent..I am having examinations and Clash of Clans is that much addictive that I can't stop myself from playing the game and the clan games are making me to play the game more and more to unlock all the tiers.. Also we all have noticed that 'BOOK OF EVERYTHING' isn't been in a single game :(

I think SC is still reviewing data to determine a better balance. They probably seen an increase in activity, which is great for SC and great for the game. It's also energized players who were inactive, or preferred not to war / farm with great frequency. But for those that are / were already active, it's an added stressor to our busy clash life.

I usually don't respond to those that say "just don't participate," because it seems ignorant of reality. You hit the nail on the head--if you don't participate, you will hurt your clan. You could be viewed as a free loader if you only do the minimum.

I'm sure Clan Games will mature, and clans will adopt ways to cope with this new feature. Another poster suggested this will lead to the development of clans who only do Clan Games, similar to those that only do Wars and those that only Farm. Perhaps. But in the meantime, it's a heavy burden.

While I really enjoy the games, for the first day clouds are so bad that I can't play at all - i keep getting the no bases to attack message and I'm low legends. For this reason, and this reason alone, I do wish there was a few more days between the games so that I get to play a bit more.

I also have no problem with the frequency of the books, so what if you can progress fast? Surely no one enjoys when they're heroes are down, so why complain that you can get them up quicker? We've been asking for ages for a way to get heroes up quicker, supercell deliver and there's complaints? Makes no sense at all!

Leader and co's in my clan had a chat this morning and came to the conclusion that being a small clan (18k is viable 30k is a struggle, we've had our clan open for a while but as we don't war regular this deters people from joining I think) but we have sent a clan mail out saying that if you feel that it's become a bit of a chore to compete this round then we'll just go with the flow.
The other members by what they were saying felt this was a good idea and felt a little relieved.

I run 4 accounts and I myself didn't fancy pushing to max each account.(I've put my TH10 into another clan and that's only to see how this clan manages it's games and to see how they are feeling about the games in general as they don't visit the forums(it's a 20-25 member clan that I and another visit when they need an extra couple for war).

We've decided to have a war instead.(First one since just after Xmas I think).

So from a very small clans perspective we do enjoy the games but needed a week off and that's what we are doing.
We'll still do tasks and just get what we get.

Many good points in this thread. I'm not complaining about clan games as I do feel it has energized my clan. The issue is the frequency.

I can understand that it's boosting gameplay by making people raid more often so books can be used.

If they want to ease the burden of the grind, give a free wall segment as a reward.

Anyway, clan games=😁 frequency= 😠😐😭😬

Wrong. It impacts the rest of your clan.

We are talking about a game here and your decision on how much you participate. No one should be structuring thier life around games and if it's such a great impact on the people you play with you'll find new ones. There is a place for everyone in lots of different clans. So this nonsense about your involvement of the impact on your clan is a lot of who shot John.

Some very good points you made there. It seems many players were blinded by the rewards and cannot see any downside at all. There is no free lunch in this world, esepcially the nice and healthy lunch. You have to pay for it, and it is more expensive.

I hope the direction Clan Games is going will be as Darian stated earlier on this thread and make Clan Games better than what we are doing currently.

You have got yourself a good casual clan who still respect each other and make allowance for each other before burning out due to straight big Clan Games.

Thankfully I am also in one of those nice clans. I could not care for the highest tier rewards as well, I don't even try to push my less active clanmates. Just do when they can and get whatever the Clan Games rewards our clan members.

But sadly many (not all) in the bigger and more active clans don't see and understand this issue.

Frequent clan games are good for smaller clans.
