OP seems afraid of some member shifting and cherry picking is going to make a big difference in clan matchup. Nope! You pick your strongest, you get put with another set of strong members... except!...
If you min-max your base a set way, and have a clan full of them, you can game the system and get easy wins! Sound crazy? It is! Crazy true! Our war log was near perfect before the Winter update! :mad: Haven't been able to recover since! People left, new ones got recruited, were noobs, and left, we couldn't opt in or out, so the last 1-4 people, based on trophy score was automatically opted out for us, and it was a mess!
Hell, even the last war (before the much more sane current one) had obvious TH rushers! But the match making system thought after awhile of searching, "Herp derp, well these guys look good enough", and the other clan just wiped us almost completely off the map! The speical stuff they had from being a higher TH and the sheer size made it hard to match thier attacks. Plus for some reason, literally half the clan didn't attack, mostly out of sheer and utter bad luck and bad timing (something about St. Patrick's day and traveling) with a few not bothering because of how outmatched we were. How do I know? I asked each one I could! 3 are now effectively banned deserters, and 9 out of 12 I pestered and poked to get a reason of them, and wrote it down on a list of who was in trouble. I managed somehow to keep my members, with 3 silent ones opted out of war (by me) to see if they notice, and if they are worth keeping.
So... yeah... a bit ticked off by the unfair system, not from the opt in/out, but by @#$%#$% min-maxing killjoys. :mad: And why such a damned exploit in the matching algorithm hasn't been noticed and fixed yet, or partly fixed, in the last update is a little beyond me.
It isn't the Opt in/out stuff that is exploitable, it is the matching algorithm, and forum members already know about it and have posted about it already. (BTW, I should thank them for posting the info. I was able to research this and was able to possibly stop the bad matchup in this war with a simple trick)

opt in /out was introduced to have more interesting wars (if war becomes easy its really boring and lame like earlier we won my war 25:3 stars :confused:, it gets really boring when enemy doesn't even tries attack:thumbsdown:
There should be excitement and proud after winning every war :cool:
