Why DO we want clan wars so much?

Well, the title says it all. Think about this for a second.
I'm gonna throw out my 2 cents worth on this.
Let's try and keep this a nice friendly flame-free thread.

Ok, so clan wars hey? What I think, is that there are hundreds and thousands of clans out there. Lets say, which is probably an underestimation, that only half of them are active. That gives us about 150k clans. That is a LOT of clans "clashing" at once. Think of all the server space needed!

Now, the thing that Supercell need to figure out, is how to introduce clan wars, without the clan wars being too complicated, and possible a way to reward the most successful clans. Also, coding the system.

Sure, there are some awesome ideas for this, but just ask yourself... why do we want clan wars? What are the benefits? We already have a top 200 clan leaderboard.

I know personally, I would love to see clan wars, but not too complicated, it doesn't affect the current clan system, and it rewards the clan in some way.

Let's show Supercell what we want, and why.

None of those reasons actually. :confused: My reason would be because the devs really haven't done much for clans since the creation of clans. Clan wars would be a fantastic way to encourage clan fellowship and community.

EDIT: As to the top 200 clans leaderboard and that tournament, it only affects about 30 players, all of who are most likely sponsored anyways.

Those are bad reasons.

I want it because it would bring something game changing making it way better then rip offs :)

Clan wars, randomly selects 3 other clans of similar strength pitted against each in a race to the highest trophies won in multiplayer battles in a 24 hour period.

Here are my thoughts on possible clan war implementations:

1) Reward system - up to SC to decide. So no point trying to convince others by saying top 50 get 2,000 gems each.

2) Is it a glorified cup push? If i can achieve the same by trophy pushing and compare my clan score with other clans, i don't see the need for it.

3) Do we get to choose who we wanna attack? If yes, bad idea. Matchmaking should be random.

4) Do we lose resources in clan wars? If yes, it opens up to resource transferring. If no, it's a waste of time.

5) if u combine (3) and (4) into random matchmaking with resource losses, hey isn't that just like what we have now?

6) Clan village. Just no.

7) Real time attack and defend. You know, that idea where the attacker deploy troops to attack and the defender deploys troop to defend at the same time? Yea.... Um no.

So when u filter out everything, you will have a clan declare war, random clan pops up, can accept or reject, both clan race for war points which is awarded based on wins, forget about attacking exclusively players from the opponent clan because it allows transfer of resources. Bottom line, glorified cup push.

Where'd you get that idea? Maybe from something that rhymes with Bamurai Biege? ;)

There would need a feature for someone to "declare war" because most clans are farming and dont care about trophies

That is pretty true. I never thought of it as a glorified cup push... So, in essence, for now it is a waste of Supercells resources?

Bingo.

Let me go check out what the other games are offering....

Edit: Nope, still glorified cup pushes. Goes to show how easily satisfied players are. SC can waste their resources to inplement the same, but i will not be convinced.

There we are! I must agree with you there, I would love to see clan wars, but SC should fix pending issues first, such as loot, infernos (my opinion) etc.
