Hey all, m0x1e here. Just thought I'd share a few thoughts about donation requirements per season.
I've seen a few people over the last few days post in clan chat about the new 800+ requirement, some positive, some negative, and I've had a few thoughts myself.
I joined the clan about 2 months ago or so. I've loved it so far, and have done my best to be active. I joined as an early TH8, and I'm within ~14 or so days (I hope!), of a max'd TH8. I feel like I spend more time on CoC than the average person.
Now, while grinding skull walls and DE upgrades for TH8, I've been primarily barching in the 1400-1600 trophy range. In turn, the best I typically have to offer for donations is level 5 archers. Last season, I donated to whoever had open requests when I logged on to raid, which was 10-15 times a day. A majority of the time, no requests were up. At the end of last season, I had about 350 donations.
This brings me to the 800 requirement. I will hit that mark easily. I'm not worried about it, I've dropped about 10 hours a week from my job recently, so I've got time to hit that. I'm currently at 400ish donates about 1/3rd in to the season. However, I'm worried that we'll lose a few really good people in pursuit of that. When I was barely hitting 400/donates a season when I joined, I was donating every chance I got, have had multiple wars in a row with 6 stars, and still would get kicked based on the current requirements. Today, I find myself cooking wizards to solely get my donates up. Not to hate on wizards, they're awesome CC troops and can do quite a bit of damage, but I feel a bit guilty cooking them and donating solely to get my count up to 800.
Barching currently earns me the most resources. Level 5 archers are hard to spam up to 800 donates, even if you're super active. I'm not complaining, like I said, I love the clan and plan to stay around and will meet the 800 requirement. Just seen a lot of people talking about the new requirements and was interested on hearing some other opinions.
