This topic seems to piss you off. Not sure I get why.This. I've been gaming for a long time, mainly Warcraft in it's hay day. Burnout always happens. We were down to 30 man wars at one point recently. That simply isn't enjoyable.You simply have to keep recruiting to maintain activity. People love quick donations. That doesn't happen with dwindling numbers and it puts a greater strain on everyone. No one likes to be the one responsible for donating all the time.We slowly drop to 45 then 40 then 35 from normal burnout and then all at once the folks that want to roll in a 50 person clan look elsewhere. I'd be one of those at that point. Not that I need 50 v 50 but dwindling down to 35 would make me want to jump. Not sure how many like me there are but I find the bigger wars more entertaining.Why are randoms necessary for long term health? Seems to me it is having the opposite effect.Yeah this. By my count there's only five legit randoms in there now and the rest of the new faces are friends of fbgs. Sure some randoms are annoying but doc hasn't been giving them a very long leash either. For long term health randoms are a necessity. Some will suck but you'll also find some good ones as well.It's fine, Fbgs can stay randomnless and decrease in size. I'll start looking for another clan.
For this being a social game, people sure are antisocial. Oh and the majority of ransoms are friends of cla mates for the most part. If a random sucks, we boot him. I don't see the problem. People are only random until you get to know them.
And I don't think it's anti-social to not want to pull in randoms. You want anti-social, go play some Boom Beach. The team feature in that game sucks.
But when I go to the bar with friends, I don't want to hang out with the other dudes in the bar, just my friends. And yes, I get that it doesn't make any real sense why I'm ok hanging out with the group of guys from this board that I don't actually know but not that thrilled with hanging out with the random dudes in clash that I don't actually know.
Just my two cents. Not saying anything needs to change or trying to create drama. I'm in the middle of the pack in base strength and in the bottom half of participation so I'm not trying to drive the ship here. Just may be time for a change for me.
