We've been using Daniel to take away the war items, which is far from ideal.
@Wolfphoto Looks like you have 2 other options available at this time, both are outside your shared guidelines. The monster is an option but will take some time or contact one of the or both of the guys that have expressed interest in trading for or purchasing your war items privately (via PM) and see if they’re interested in coming to your club temporarily and securing the items. Good luck.

If someone doesn't like playing wars, that's right.
If their clubs got severe rules about it, that's right too.
But to be less than the 1% of players and pretend EA to change a game that (with some problems, of course) is liked by the other 99% sounds a little utopian.EDIT by EA_Jason: Trolling, baiting, flaming, or general rudeness removed.

@meesfeet Your message is vague (by design) but certainly speaks volumes...but do you really believe 99% is accurate? As for me I tend to state the obvious. Sadly sometimes folks assume my post is written for them regardless who it’s addressed to...it’s simply a way to let other folks understand what they need to do if they’re in a similar situation and since I brought Daniel to the table I guess I contributed the obvious as well. You know there is something to be said about doing the same thing and expecting a different results...but that‘s somewhat utopian as well.
As for me I’m a simple country boy with a garden full of vegetables and a freezer full of meat and folks are welcome at my table regardless of whether they’re a carnivore or a vegan as long as they act like they got some sense and wipe their feet at the door (my Bride ain’t too happy when her floors get tracked up).
Take care my friend... - 6 years ago@meesfeet It helps if people actually understand what we're saying. We're not asking EA to take the war element or monster attacks out of the game. What we're saying is follow through on the team menu design and stop discriminating against players and teams that don't want to war and stop forcing the war agenda on people that have no interest in it or in the monster attacks.
If a team doesn't tick 'War' in the team setup menu, they shouldn't get war or monster attacks as tasks in the CoM. Their tasks should just be non-war, thereby giving them an equal opportunity to win the big individual prizes and not wasting their gold tickets by having to cancel the war and monster attack tasks.
I hope that clarifies the situation for you and anyone else that's getting their knickers in a twist over this post by trying to detract from the original post and raise smoke screens by going on about veganism, utopia, totalitarianism and some of the other brain farts I've witnessed by some of the arm chair professors. 🙂
It helps to keep your comments relevant when some people are raising legitimate concerns about the game
Many thanks to those of you that have understood and supported this thread. If you work for EA, please make contact as the issue is far from resolved. The support ticket hasn't been closed down yet either, it's still a live issue for us.

Dear @PinnacleValley: I don't know the correct % of people loving wars in SCBI, but let's see these facts: how many clubs are classified on war ranking? in January 1919 we rebooted our club and restarted from 1500 war points. At the end of the first war we were ranked at about #130.000. We won that war, so I can easely suppose that there were at least other 10.000 clubs behind us. 18 months ago!! I've heard someone telling that clubs now are about 200.000. If it's true, there could be a celling of 5M players involved in wars. OK, I know how many clubs and players are inactive or there just to be a "number", so let's easely cut this number to... let's say 1/5? Still 1M players involved in wars.
Now let's take another fact: how many complains can we read in this forum about removing wars or war tasks? I mean, almost all of the threads in a game forum like this are complains about something that doesn't work well or that could be improved, and even if there's lot of problems with wars, there's only few people clearly asking to stop wars or war tasks. Ok, maybe not a 1%, they're probably more than just a 1%, but it remains a little minority.
Why must EA have to change a gameplay to satisfy a request shared by a little minority? And how can they know you don't want to play wars? And what about if you change idea? And, what about the fairness in competing with people who still have war tasks? You could argue that it would be easy without wars tasks, as you could specialize in less kind of tasks, or viceversa you could argue that to have more kind of tasks would help in competition. Or you should separate competitors by they choices....
Not so simple.
About vegans, let me close this offtopic with just some words: Live and let live should be the rule. I don't have any problem with vegan eating vegetables I respect it. At least until a vegan disrespect me for eating a Tbone steak. Even worst if he disrespect me and too starts using falsehoods or hypocrisies they easely believe as avails their theories, like that human body are not made for eating meat.
(PS: I already know the way you write your posts, and I share it and understand it even when we have different opinions, my friend😉)
@Wolfphoto: don't misunderstand me, I used a little ironic joke. Forgive me if that offened you, it wasn't my intention, but let me explain why I used this irony: of course you have the right to ask for what you would like. To ask, not to pretend and somehow, what you wrote sounded like a pretension, at least to me.
Then, after your request, just be realistic: if your own one is shared by a lot of people, maybe (MAYBE!) one day EA will try to satisfy it. But if just few players will share it as it happened until now, I guess it won't happen.
BTW, good luck on your mission.

@PinnacleValleyThanks but you're now stating the obvious. We had already arrived at these conclusions with the help of the other players that have contributed to this thread.
What we are after is fairer gameplay for teams that dont want to take part in wars or monster attacks, which is the purpose of this thread
All the best to you.
