Gui,
It seems like at least Fizzer himself considers UserVoice to be useful; why else would there be a WarLight page on UserVoice? It is definitely actually used, there's quite a few ideas on there marked as "implemented".
Every idea there can be commented on, both by other players as well as administrators (in WL's case, that's Fizzer). There's nothing to stop you from discussing ideas on the forum before posting a thought-through suggestion (which is exactly what I tend to do myself; I know some other people do the same thing).
As an example, had site-wide ELO ratings been on there, we (and Fizzer!) could try and get a little feeling for how many people actually want it. It would also provide a single place where to discuss (and solve) practical issues. Now we only have a few people (even if they're quite vocal, it's still just a few people) asking for such a system.
Remember that UserVoice
is listed as the preferred way to give feedback and suggestions! If you don't like it, fine, but that doesn't mean it actually
is useless (you often seem to support your opinion with arguments which are, actually, simply your opinion; you often state your opinion as if it were indisputable fact).
Anonymous,
Would an official clan system really be that much of an improvement over the current system of just using tags?
Also, in my opinion, one of the priority should be an official clan system. (..)
THAT is what Warlight would need. In my opinion sure, but i belive most of clans would agree with me.
The clans might be a little biased when it comes to a clan system. :) If you could convince me most of the non-clan players also want such a system, then I'd be much more impressed.
Lonewolves haven't won wars, haven't made the history.
Maybe not wars (which require an army, so you pretty much require an organisation to begin with), but quite a few lone wolfs wrote history! Many of the early Nobel Prize winners for instance. Many explorers travelled the world in very small groups. The, unarmed, Chinese guy who stopped a tank simply by standing in front of it sure made history. Oh, and there's of course assassins, from Julius Ceasar's to Kennedy's, who acted alone (please, no conspiracy theories; you get the point) but made a huge impact...
More importantly though, coding an official, built-in clan system would be a huge amount of work and what would it get us? People can no longer "be" in a clan they're not really supposed to be in simply by changing their name. Is that an improvement? Yes okay, it is. But is it vital? Meh, not so much if you ask me.
Please also keep in mind just about every clan system out there limits people to be in at most one clan at a time, while there seem to be quite a few WL players who are in multiple clans. If you got your official system, that would probably no longer be possible! (Because otherwise there's even more practical issues to solve, such as which clan does your win count for when you play in the clan league?)
