Clan is still “beta” so it is good first event to get this type of feedback on. I’d be more concerned when it is an arena type event clan vs. clan. Then it would really be set up for isolating new or less established players vs. long time players with strong rosters. Or worse, a clan of deep pocket whales that buy up as much as they can...
Those types of issues should be considered in planning future events to make it balanced and accessible for all player levels, not just the strongest or well funded.
