Should we have some other ways to upgrade our clans besides through wars?

[Bloodykira]

I like the new upgrade. But as you know, the war is the only way to upgrade the clan's level. I think it force players to attend wars as more as possible for upgrading their clans. It may be confusing to some people who don't like the wars to be so frequent. I suggest to add more ways to get the experience of clans. I want to see whether there is some people hold the same opinion with me.

I've posted elsewhere that I think troop donations (whether directly or to war clan castle) should earn you some amount of clan XP (limited/capped per season and awarded at the end of the season based on total donations). You should basically be able to earn as much as one or two fully successful clan wars (but once per season) if you hit the max/cap for donations (I'm not going to try to come up with a number, but obviously it shouldn't be easy to hit without really donating frequently).

I absolutely would like for there to be other ways to upgrade your clan - pushing, farming, donating or whatever. The farming clan that I'm in is now a back to back war clan (with many of our members opting out). That's fine, we've had members that have wanted to war and now they have the opportunity, but the rest of the clan would like to contribute without going to war.

I don't think that they're going to add additional ways to level up the clans though. I believe that SC wants us to participate in clan wars more and this update has encouraged many of us to do just that. If they were to add additional ways to level up then things would continue as they were prior to the update.

I agree with you. I think that's a good idea. And maybe the stars you get from every battle inculde the farming battles can also be taken into account. We can set the maximum experience that can be got from each way.

i would like a change to donation exp
that 5 exp could go to the clan exp not my exp, then there is a point to donate troops for other member even the one we dont so friendly with

Sitting two or more leagues below your natural one, and raiding much weaker opponents, who don't have a chance to defend themselves adequately, is effortlessly easy. Clan wars require skill and significant expenditure of rss. Wouldn't be fair if one could level up a monster clan via easy rss raids against much weaker opponents.Only strengthening clan via wars ensures that all clans have to make a comparable effort to lvl up their clan.

I like it how it is. Wars take teamwork and strategy to win. This is a way to reward that. Larger wars make that even more difficult so that should be rewarded. My clan does 20v20 to 25v25 depending on the war and its tough to keep up with everything, particularly second attacks to clean up. I can only imagine doing 40+ wars correctly.

I would say no, this way you can't (directly) get ahead with gems. If you would let people upgrade their clans by using donations or trophies for XP, then it would just give a massive advantage to those who buy a lot of gems. It's nice to have a level playing field for once and now, people with maxed out bases and 40/40 heroes get paired up with other people who have similar bases/heroes (mostly). So they don't really have an advantage in getting XP, which is nice for once.

It is reasonable for some people to argue that wars should be the unique way. But I still think it is unwise to turn the core of COC from relaxation into competition. If you like competitive games very much, I do not think COC should be the best choice. The comfortable gaming environment made COC successful, but the concentration on the wars may destroy it.

Another significant factor that should be taken into account is "simulate attack" which can be used in "jailbreaked" ios system. The players without it can never defeat those who can "simulate attack". If you have ever tried it or seen someone use it, you should know what I mean. If SC continue to turn the key from farming to wars without preventing "simulate attack", it is obvious that more and more players will have no choice but use "simulate attack". It will totally make the game unfair and make the players exhausted.

In summary, I like the clan wars which make the game more stimulating and interesting. Nevertheless, I don't really think it should be the core of COC. So I will insist on my opinion and hope some ways to make our clan stronger without wars.
