It happens. I'm almost certain that was one if the initial complaints just after WoC was introduced. Players werent able to cast and join the war after the clan was signed up but before roster lock. Roster lock means no more participants are allowed to join the war or leave the clan. Everyone knows this. Hell I remember being in clans for EE that would sign up just to see how many numbers they had going in.
How does your statement make sense if we had not been match? And Drgn that makes since. But if you want to ad more members you should just withdraw clan have them cast woc. Then re enter. And yes I will not use 33 any more. Was being nice and letting in a few friends who wanted to war. Can this already be thought about for next practice wars?
It's a tactic some clans use ... They only sign up part of the clan till last minute ... It's incase other clans they don't want to fight in their size range are counting their casted members .. It's so they avoid certain matches they don't want
