Would you rather the rushed th10 get included and then blamed for war losses because they helped draw harder opponents? I'd rather sit them, let them continue working on their bases/tactics and avoid the resentment guarunteed to be directed at them from the rank and file. Forcing us to kick/reinvite them every war causes less clan cohesion, not more. It's embarassing for them and I personally hate doing it as a co lead. But NOT doing it would mean lost wars, unhappy members. Just allow us to choose who goes to war. If a clan leader abuses that power his/her members will get out of there pretty quickly. If the rushed th10 really WANTS to war there are plenty of more casual clans that would welcome him/her, but if he/she wants to stay and doesn't mind sitting don't make us kick and reinvite every war.

The same dynamic that influences the forming of clans in the first place also informs who we choose to go to war with. It's unreasonable to have different expectations for one versus the other or worse, limit our ability to freely coordinate one forcing us to circumvent at the expense of the other.

I agree with this, kicking members (especially the people you like) is not cool if its only as a result of war participation.

Its like a sports team, they don't play their matches with all their players at once

If one of our clanmates were not able to attack in that clan war, we could make it so we they arent in the war. But at the same time, we would be down a member in the war. in a 25v25 war and one of the member were opted-out, it would then be a 24v25 war and that isnt 100 percent fair.

I have changed my mind on this. an opt in/out button or leader being able to decide who wars would be great.

Completely silly that people have to leave the clan to avoid a war. In 9/10 cases in our clan this is because an AQ/BK is upgrading and it would not be in the best interest of the clan to go to war like that. This option would certainly make clan life easier.

A clan is supposed to whole players together for some reasons. Without the war opt-out option, my clan (30 members, most of them are real friends) as an example has to split into two to separate the war and farming clans. This decreases a lot of fun enjoying playing game with friends. I then think the option will make CoC a lot funnier.

We've talked A LOT about adding an opt-out feature in Clan Wars and it's not currently in the cards. At this point, we just haven't found the right solution that fits Clash how it should.

We always try to avoid unnecessary complexity in our feature design and strive for features that work consistently and simply for all players. Some players would be thrilled with an opt-out system, but others would prefer things like opt-in, leader-chooses, variable team sizes, or other solutions. Also, letting players pick-and-choose what components of their clan experience they participate in is not a design philosophy we support. When you're in a clan, you should all be in it together! Even further, implementing a system that can enable undue pressure on players ("Opt out or we'll kick you" or "Give me Crab Claws or you can't come to war with us") falls far short of this mark.

That being said, we're in favor of adding more control and meaningful direction to Clan Wars. When we look into the next batch of Clan Wars features, that will be the time to reconsider things like opt-out systems, and possibly come up with better solutions that encourage everyone in their Clan to stick together and participate no matter what. We'll see what happens!

We'll keep tabs on any feedback and ideas you guys come up with for future Clan Wars improvements. Keep the feedback coming.

Cheers,

Steve

there can be a option for clan leader to chose if he want himself to chose who he wants to keep in war or if he want his clan mates to decide themselves. this option could be chosen only once when you are making a clan. it might be complex..but just giving my opinion..

I like the ability for clanmates to opt-out, although I would prefer if players should have to actively opt in clan wars (so the default is that they are opt out).

i cant agree more upon this

This idea has been ruled out in the ideas and suggestions subforum because it's philosophically at odds with what SC envisions a clan to be. You're either in a clan to participate, or you're not.

Form a Chill Out clan and kick inactives with an invite to join it with the #clanhashtag in the kick message.

Can't even recall how many times I read "The game is called CLASH of CLANS" when people were carping, for MONTHS, because something like clan wars needed to exist. Now we want it to be "clash of the portion of the clan who wants to participate and/or is available that day, or meets our criteria for a strong enough base to warrant being included at the leader's discretion, etc ad infimitum..."

Well folks, it's called Clash of Clans. Cope.

Oh and where in the sticky does it say this has been ruled out?
