Club wars - Feedback

I have played SimCity in all it's forms since it began - from my Gateway PC in the 90s to my iphone and MacBook today. Never, ever, not once, not for a moment have i ever in over twenty years of playing this game said to myself, "You know what this franchise needs? War!"  I play this game because i like building cities, not because i want to fight. There are games for that; this is not one and should not be one.

Although i am a member of a club, I have no intention of participating in this feature (which is obviously my choice) and thankfully my Club Captain doesn't seem to play often enough to have initiated any "attacks" or whatever this feature entails. Additionally, I am disappointed that the league assignments, which are difficult enough to complete or at times even attempt (particularly if your city is like mine and is highly developed with no room for expansion or upgrading new buildings without destroying existing structures) are being further diluted by having War-related assignments.  I just had to start and immediately cancel THREE such assignments because i wanted new options, severely limiting the number of assignments i could work with. It would be nice to be able to opt out of this feature all-together, or otherwise avoid it. (I guess maybe i could leave my Club, but i shouldn't have to do that to avoid this.)

I see absolutely no point of wars in Sim City. Personally, i play SimCity for the express reason that i can do it alone. I do not have to worry about someone coming in and destroying what i have spent time building. in fact, I expressly avoid and have quit playing games with similar features. Having wars, in my opinion, is antithetical to everything that makes this game great and has kept people like me playing it for decades. I will be very upset if i open my city one day to find that someone has attacked me for no reason.

Every game can not have everything. No game game should. Trying to shoehorn new-fangled features into a classic format is often a recipe for failure; otherwise known as "jumping the shark." Please keep the SimCity boat floating on the calm seas and away from war-ramps.

Thanks.
