The devs actually did really well creating this war system even with all the hate about auto-join at start. It's the first system wars I've enjoyed on this game well done devs you took the mindless turtle wars out and the crap 20bil wars with 5 actives.
And don't whine about being in a clan to small to join it's supposed to be viewed as an elite tier of player involved in these and so far the players I've warred with and against are pure class and skilled.
