1. Our clan went from 50 players down to 18 now due to fights over war performance
2. I just had a 20 minute long argument with a CO over expelling somebody who whiffed on 2 attacks in our last war we lost
3. Clan wars cause a lot of pressure and stress to perform and not all players are good 3-star raiders
What I think will make matters worse is the new update. To me, losing in clan wars wasn't that big of a deal because I would usually just waste a truckload of elixir. Currently, elixir is pretty useless and it isn't uncommon to be sitting on maxed elixir with no use for it. Unfortunately, now elixir will soar in usefulness, being almost as valuable as gold (if not more so for some players!). I've always placed low value on elixir as I've been able to farm more than enough without ever directly targeting elixir stores. Now, the elixir cost for failed CW will truly be crushing as it means less walls.
