Are Clan Wars Overused

[Xitra]

I really don't like wars that much, farming has always been the big draw of this game for me. I get way more out of starting an expensive upgrade than I do out of pulling a 6 star war... but they do make for good team building exercises for a clan. Activity always spikes way up on prep and war day (once a week for us).

My issue with war is that I'm a low enough town hall that I can complete some decent upgrades in 1-2 days. So I spend prep day (and the day before prep day) farming like mad to start defensive upgrades to finish before prep day ends, and offensive upgrades to finish during war day (with plenty of time left to build and use 2 armies). It becomes so stressful, and I doubt it makes much difference in the grand scheme of things.

But it is kinda funny to declare war a few minutes before your town hall finishes upgrading (I'm a co-leader). With 4-5 builders, you can add a lot of defense to your base before war day starts. I actually timed two accounts to finish upgrading at the same time, and declared war just before they finished. 4 builders on a TH6 and 5 builders on a TH7, building out new structures and timing upgrades for maximum benefit in 24 hours. It was a blast! And then neither account got attacked.

After a few times, it gets stressful and old. I can't farm during war day, as I risk losing whatever CC troops I had to pull teeth to get in the first place. (Maybe it's just my clan?)

I like going to war like once or twice a week for a couple weeks, then taking a couple weeks off, and alternate that.

I love to war. It hasn't gotten old yet. I know it has been said before but I would love SuperCell to roll out an "Opt Out Of War' button. Our clan is pretty well versed in dropping or kicking with an invite sent, but it would be much easier if each individual had the option to war or not and still remain in the clan.

No, clan wars are not overused in my opinion.

Clan war really adds fun to my clan. We war always and we have a lot of fun. We are a farming clan with rare pushes. So clan war is the main place to use heavy troops. Wish we can war more!!!

Clan wars are the best part of the game imo.

On an average week I will do approximately 100 Barch attacks (farming) plus 7 GoWiPe's (war). I have to say that as much as i enjoy the baching and farming aspect of the game, trying to master GoWiPe on bases my own level is the most exciting and enjoyable part of my weekly clash time.

If there was no clan wars I would probably not be playing anymore at this point as I have only heroes and walls left to farm for.

War gives all those months/years of farming a purpose. With all of the time and effort I have put into maxing my defense and high end troops it is nice to have a consistent chance to actually use them every other day, otherwise whats the point?

I love wars. My clans does a war every Saturday so it isn't getting as boring for me. It is fun to test out bases to maybe try out for a push too. If your clan does well, you should love it. If it doesnt, you will hate it. Just did a hockey tournament, lost first two games and everyone was demoralized. They weren't having fun. Perfect example. It is a good place to test things for push as I said before(just dont do something stupid lol).
If you dont like wars dont do wars. If your clan has a set time for war like mine leave before that time and come back about an hour after that time. No war, and for me it is fun to see how many peoples bases hold. Just stop being negative; hope I helped you become happy with wars

Clan wars are an addition to the game to make it more fun... some people like them, others don't. Me, I like doing 1-2 per week. Also, some people just do wars for the loot.

ummmm…
Depends on who you are and whether you like clan wars or not.
You can't assume everyone will want to war once a week

I was never suggesting SuperCell allow wars once a week, was just asking if everyone preferred to war once a week or all the time.

I can't get enough war! I hate that war prep is 24 hours long, when we look for a match, we are ready to start war within an hour, I wish the prep time was cut down, we would war even more.

Exactly this. I would like to see prep time cut down to 1 hour and just let people put troops into clan castles even after the war has started (ideally I would like to have no prep time at all and to let people put troops in castles during the war only but I know some people would be too upset that their bases were attacked before they could put troops in).

I also don't feel a full 24 hours for the war itself is necessary either. It would be nice if people could choose how long they want war and prep time to be when they start the search. For example, you could have the 24 hour/24 hour category that we all have now, and I could choose the 0 hour/12 hour category that would make for no prep time and a 12 hour war. I would love to have 14 wars a week. It doesn't take 24 hours to attack twice and it definitely doesn't take 24 hours to look at bases and fill clan castles.

As for the OP, if you are dreading war when it comes up either you or your clan is taking war too seriously. Find a more laid back clan that does not care if it wins or loses and war becomes much more enjoyable.
