Clan war participation being optional for members in a clan

It would do wonders to many clans if clan war participation is is made optional to members and not forcing them to accept war or move out of the clans.

This is especially true in clans where people are staying in one clan since long time. Currently it's like participate in a war or leave a clan where we have been staying since almost 2 years.

Wouldn't it help many players stay in the game for longer time if we have this flexibility since no one in any clan will be forced to participate in a war ?

I'm just going to piggyback my ideas off yours. What I suggest is having a button where players in a clan can click to show ineligibility for war, so they don't factor into the war.

With this post, there are now 3 posts for this idea within the first 2 pages of this forum. It has been discussed extensively over the past months. I'm not trying to say don't post redundant ideas, I'm just pointing out that this is a very popular idea, and yet Supercell isn't going to implement it any time soon:

I think demand is very high for this very useful feature. Pros FAR OUTWEIGH any cons. All we can hope for is that our relentlessness asking for it translates into Supercell making it a priority sooner than later.

yeah, I never mis a chance to keep up the clamor. It is all about hoping they someday realize just how wanted it really is (I think they are still thinking its just a casual thing based on their behavior with it so far.) So I bump and keep reading my own vision of how it should go to every new post on it.

And here I go again....

How it should work...

There should be a button (it can be a new one or the war shield can be modified) that toggles a player as in or out.

Access to hit the button to toggle should go to the leader and the player in question.
---- individual players cannot opt each other in or out
---- its an argument either way to give it to co as well - Good for clans where co is a management job, bad for clans that give it out like candy. (I consider the latter to be a sign of a bad leader)
---- A leader who abuses authority to opt guys in against their wishes are really just hurting their own selves for how they are adding a risk to their war participation. (the guy might then just not attack anyhow, if not seeing eye to eye with leader he wont care)
---- A leader opting a guy out against his wishes has that prerogative to decide who he wants in his war. And its still nicer than just kicking the guy like happens now.

The status of a player is only a factor right at the time a war starts. Instead of just selecting all eligible players from the total population it will just be all eligible players from the opted in group.
---- Can even implement by leveraging the existing eligibility functionality that currently is only driven by a timer.

After that everything works the same. The list of warriors from the clan is rounded to an even 5 via the existing logic and then the matchmaking calculation takes place also using the existing logic.

A player joins a clan with his eligibility set the same way it is today. (He is in unless there is a timer)


Things that would not happen -
...A player cannot add themselves to a war after the fact. If they change their status during a war it makes no difference until the next war when that status is read at startup.
...This would not serve as a way to replace members that take off during war. if they do that then there is the same affect on the war as there is today. Unused attacks stay unused. (it will never change that this just stinks when guys pull that stunt)
