I am the leader of a war clan 50 members 20,000+ cups. The day before war all members announce in clan chat their war status. 10 minutes before war as the leader I close the clan, Kick members, declare war and invite members back. Job Done with 100% involvement in the war and we win. We do this twice a week. Everyone loves it. Only change I would like is a tougher challenge. Would the opt in/out button do this? I don't know.
The time consuming component here is the keeping of a list and the clan communication that goes on before the war is declared. Let's just call this good team work in a good clan with members that are like-minded. Incidentally, we are also a farming clan who also like to war and as such we have a few members who don't war and don't mind being "kick/vited" (I wish there was a better term for that). The opt in/out function will not change the amount of communication required in our clan
Ultimately, I would still like the opt/in out function and here are the sole reasons for it.
- It would speed time involved during my breakfast where I kick/vite everyone. It would just be a simple - close the clan, run through the clan list and confirm the communicated opt in/outs, make any necessary changes to make the numbers right and declare war.
- It would stop messing up a clan seasonal donation history as for the kick/vited members this gets reset 4 times a season at 2 wars per week
I am yet to see a valid argument for this not being implemented. The argument that it would mess up the match up formula is bogus as the clan match ups would simply be based on the number of members IN the war at the time that the "Start War" button is pushed.
I have also seen a few people mention they are not willing to let the clan leader have overriding power on this opt/in out function. How is this different from how we currently do things. If I don't want a member in the war I kick them, simple. Furthermore if you are in a clan where you do not want the leader having overriding power, then I suggest you may be in the wrong clan with a bad leader that you do not trust.
That's my two cents worth and I am positive that if implemented correctly an Opt in/out button with the leader having overriding power will benefit everyone and improve the clash community.
If anything I would simple make it an opt OUT button. That would just save me kick/viting people...
Flame/troll away.. or not.. I would rather people add valid discussion to the topic instead of troll away with inconsistent droll and ill thought out arguments for the sake of being argumentative.
