With this new rule of randomly placing players into squads it destroys the idea of recruiting Clan Affiliates in this community. No Clan affiliate is going to join this community knowing that they are going to be split up and be placed with random players of their army that they choose. Clan affiliates never had been a problem since I have been here and in fact are a part of the solution of this balance issue that was present last year. For example Sparta try to lead by example by switching to REDD to give them a better chance of winning last war, so far VbD has switched back to REDD. There is now a greater chance of REDD being able to win this war, but if you try to split up Clans why would they want to stay in this community. If you say "who cares we don't need them" you are dam wrong because the ODSTs, VbD, Sparta play a BIG role in this community and if you lose them you are losing half the members of this community. I love the fact that the Forerunners are noticing the problem of last war and are trying to fix it, but this is a completely different war now and the skill has changed a lot so far. What I am proposing is that we hold off with this randomizing of players for now and play this War with Squads that we can choose and see how it goes. If there is a balance issue then I am more than happy for you Forerunners to step in, but this is a different War now with players on different sides.
