Donation Pooling for Clan War and Village...

I read through the current suggestion list and didn't see this, so forgive me if it's already been suggested and I missed it somehow.

I was talking to my clan mates today, and we decided it would be really nice to have a running donation pool that we could donate to. Then when a clan memebr needs a certain type of unit, they can simply select which troops they want from the pool to add to their clan castle or war cc. There should be a timer that starts after a memeber takes troops to limit the number of times they can pull from the donation pool in a given period of time.

This would help to ensure that memebers could still get donations when others are offline or away, which is often a problem with the current model of post for donations and wait. Sometimes the wait times are long and people are often waiting to get full donations before an attack. Needless to say it can be frustrating and it slows down progress. The donation pool would help to solve that problem by allowing members to pick what they want from a pool of donations and then jump right into action.

Additionally, why don't war cc donations count in donation count? They should. It's still a donation. Perhaps in the clan list, you could add totals for normal donations, war donations and pool donations. I think it's important to give people credit for what they donate. It would be nice to be able to give a reward of some kind to members who donate the most as well.

Thanks for your time.

Supercell wants to promote active play, meaning they want its players to be online as much as possible, so that's why they have not implemented a donation pool idea. It could also cause animosity between the clan, some players dipping from the pool too much, taking all the best troops, yada yada...

This has been discussed as a separate thread many times. The reason that war donations don't count is because:

1) of the "friend in need" achievement. People would abuse war donations and donate like crazy, allowing them to achieve this achievement way too easily.

2) now that we can drop unwanted war base troops, if the donations actually counted, then people would be donating their ♥♥♥♥ troops and/or low level troops to clanmates, knowing they can drop them anyways. Would you want to go through your war base clan castle donations to keep dropping crappy troops 10, 15, 20 times per prep day? I would not. What a waste of time effort, and what a big frustration overall.

3) clan war donations are meant to be given by high level players, because you want the best and strongest troops to help defend your base in clan wars. These players usually already have FINISHED their friend in need achievement, so they don't even care if they get recognition for their donations because it does them no good. Who it helps is the lowbies who still need to finish their FIN achievement, but they are the ones who SHOULDN'T be donating to clan war bases. This is why the solution that SC came up with of not counting war base donations is brilliant. Encourages higher up players to donate their strongest troops.
