I have never written in the forums other than to give support or not give support to ideas, but this new change has my head spinning on so many different levels.First, this is a game to be enjoyed, and it should not consume 75% of my real life time to run a successful clan. The ability to have multiple admins that are able to do everything-kick people, open doors, title rosters, and start epic battles is what makes a clan strong and able to stay active in all time zones. For example, 6 admins today have real life responsibility some foreseen others not. That is not a worry because there are 6 other admins(able to do all tasks) to pick up the slack regardless of time zone and keep that clan running smoothly. I call that team work. This is a game and we should all earn our spots and responsibilities by helping, so it is not a huge burden on 4 members and our real life to keep their clan running. Teamwork is everyone doing what they can for their clan based on their real life's obligations.
If that clan needs 40 admins(able to do all tasks) to do that to they should be able to have that ability. Now, with that being said, I am not sure what you are trying to do. Maybe, I have missed your reasons but I think there was others ways to accomplish this. I have sent feed back several times regarding this and that when admins open doors or title members there should be an update in newsfeed or clan chat so there is no ambiguity or question to who did what. Next, if it is about the game wanting more funds and about buying the position, so clan deplete their gold banks, then the clan should be given at least 10 admins(able to perform all duties). The clan would then be required to purchase any additional admin spots. I also think a co-owner would have been a great idea to add during an update like this. You could have placed a price on that as well. Sadly, even with your changes it still doesn't tell me who opens the door which was one of my issue that I have been bringing up for a long time.
I am sure that this is beneficial for all clans and the owners of those clans.You are taking the fun out of game and making it harder and harder each passing moment. The social part of the game is dying which is what most of us miss, and what many of your success stories about why you have lasted so long speak of. I have read many articles about ATA and the founders always prided themselves on the social aspects of the game, but now you are killing it. Most people now go into 3rd party apps and groups and hardly sign on to their accounts in the game because there is so much drama.Please find a way to bring the fun back.
