Is Clash only about wars now?

[blackcollector]

Hi,

I've been playing for almost 3 years now. Most old players know that at first this was mostly an individual game. yes we were in a clan to exchange troops and discuss while waiting for your troops to cook. But the goal was mostly individual. Only a few clans dared to be in the top 200 clan ranking.

When Clan wars came it was a wonderful new thing in the game. We could team up and win against an other team. This broke a few clans, cleaned up a few others. But clan wars was still optional.

Then came perks. Now clan war is not optional anymore. It's even mandatory if you want your clan to be popular. When we became level 5, it was a huge change in our clan. People asking for maxed troops could now receive from almost anybody in the clan since 90% of our players are Th9+. Still optional but there are serious incentive for doing wars often.

Now new things might be coming for war too (tournaments). But is this game all about wars now? Does multiplayer have no other purpose than farming and pushing for the few that still like that?

I'm worried that this game is concentrating too much resources in wars. Mostly because 50% of my clan don't care that much about war or perks anyway. Not everybody is of competitive nature.

I'm on and off in wars because I sometime like to concentrate on my bases and war is more of a distraction to me some times. War is fun. But I didn't install clash for team competition 90% of the time.

The game is called Clash of Clans....

[4CH1LL3S]

Yeah... I think you're right...

Maybe they should add some other things clans could do to gain clanxp, like for each 180 troop donations 1 clanxp, or for each 500k loot raided 1 xp... Those are just some ideas.

At the end enjoy the game.

looking at it from my perspective...clan wars is basically half the game to me. i farm on matchmaking and then i go and do my two raids in war then go back to farming. its a big addition to the game, it introduces a lot of new strategy for people that arent up in champ 2+. it makes people more competitive

But the clans didn't 'clash' for the first 2+ years of the game's existence...

If it wasn't for CW, I'd have quit the game by now. Other than pushing what else are you going to do when your base is maxed? (My base isn't maxed by the way.) It's just that CW give me a reason to keep upgrading it since maxing it out for the sake of maxing it doesn't appeal to me.

[MissJayAlexander]

Nope.

This game was all about farming. People started to get bored and eventually quit.
SC introduces Clan Wars, it was a game-changing update, everybody loved it and the game resurrected.

Now it seems Clash is only about wars to you, but in ClashCon there will be announced a game-changing update, so the game will be all about that new feature that we don't know yet what it is about.

Just wait!

It is still an optional part of the game. The reason it has been expanding, and the reason that SC is adding so many clan war oriented updates is because it is such a popular part of the game for many people. It gets most current players, and the players who maxed and are getting bored, it gets them playing longer, and it convinces people who might not play to pick up the game, because their friend just told them about the shiny new perks that came out. More players = more money being spent.

If your clan doesn't like wars, then don't war. I don't see the problem here.
