War Teams
As much as I loathe to make another post that others will bash... Here it goes anyway.
What is the point of crew ranks if the top crew (which happens to be my crew) no longer gets to pick war teams (even if we weren't the highest rank or scorers, i would feel the same way)? It makes NO sense that Spinners & Winners gets to keep picking teams when they are barely in 3rd, they don't batte, and their scores in war do not come close to ours. We did the math. The admins did the math. We out score them by a great deal... Yet they are the "highest scorers" in war because all 100 of their scores are counting verses our 18. This should be balanced and averaged much like in battles.
Many crews have said they wouldnt participate in war if they were on the S&W side. Our crew is headed in that direction as well. But that also means we have to take the hit to our crew score because of this poor team selection system. Please address this issue for us. It's very frustrating when we all want to play on even ground.

This system was overhauled in the update a few months ago.

Thank you Syp for posting, this is definitely an issue and effects the overall enjoyment of the Game when so many feel like they are fighting a loosing battle, literally "War"/ Three days is quite a bit of time do dedicate if you are not having fun, this is not work. What is the logic anyway to calculate scores differently in Battle Vs Wars? Not to mention what is the motivation for any crew to strive to be number one if it comes with zero benefits. Maybe the Challenge is lost when there is so much inconsistency? If Wars mirror Battles in every way except how scores are averaged and calculated then we are not playing on level ground and it makes Battles pointless in in the end being a top crew makes no difference in anyway. Seems to be the challenge becomes about quantity of players instead of quality of play.

I 100% agree with Sypress and mel. Since the change our crew (20/20) has been with S&W the last 3 wars. With the rules as they are, this will never change, so there will be nothing different, the top four crews will always be chosen as they have been for the last 3 wars, which makes for a VERY boring war, not worth the effort.

I appreciate the support for my post, but I did not intend this to be a S&W or TOC bashing feed either. My issue is with balancing the averages and who picks the teams.

I do agree with you Sypress. I was part of SnW's and they do have many great peeps in the group and members that do try very hard. But I do not get why they have to be 100 members strong when really less than half really play the game even part time.
I would propose that despite being 100 members, that their team goal requirement is maxed out at 50 members. 50 is still more than the teams dedicated battle members, but I think it equals out due to the higher chance of individual scores since they will have over 50 people completing cards. Is it possible? I would hope so. Because even if 20/20 and OC11 got to pick teams, your 1st sentence in 2nd paragraph would remain despite the change.
I would rather see an honest raffle to see who wins the team captain option. Each team picks a number from roulette. Their would need to be a set rule that team would be active, at least 5 or 10 members. But then Dav or Chels would complete the list, our numbers, and the 1st 2 teams who's numbers are drawn get to be team captains. I think this would be a really nice option.
