    Please, people donating wrong troops and general anger towards it is hurting this game.

    Can you please list who donated the troops. This will solve this issue, you might get the wrong troops but you will know who did it, which will in turn stop people being idiots.

    Its a simple fix could be done server side I think.

    I'm sure this feature will come, but really, are you one of the angry receivers of a donation gift?

    Maybe its just me, but I see donations of any level as a commendable effort from (ALL) my ship mates. Lower level players are just as eager to help out and higher level players should support them.

    Not a server side fix - it'd require adjustments to the UI at the least, which would require a client update. We are planning on adding though, so you can gently remind people that although you appreciate the thought, you don't really need a load of level one Buccaneers when your own are 20+. ;)

    It's been less about the levels and more about the types. People asking for raiders and getting brutes. Messes with planned attackes, particularly in higher levels. Clash shows who donated so you know how to correct members. Yes, I agree with those who are gonna say be happy with what you get and you should be able to win without them. At the same time, some people plan very careful attacks and the gs troops are part of that plan. And with the tougher defenses, the gs helps tip the balance in some battles.

    This is where a persistent donation message would help. If you type "Send me Brutes", then the next time you request troops, the message box auto-populates "Send me Brutes". Most of the people in my guild are tired of changing the default message, so everyone just gives each other gunners.

    Also helpful to borrow from Clash is the ability to delete unwanted troops from your ship.

    ++++1 on that. Maybe the easier solution. Lots of moaning and groaning in clash before that was implemented. Really messed up war castles when people didn't read requests.

    I don't like the suspicion associated with this so I have stopped donating I also will never ask!

    It could be done server side, the donation event could trigger a server generated chat message.

    I am pretty sure the real reason I got kicked out of my last guild was because I donated a ship full of buccaneers to a teammate as a joke. He didn't notice they weren't sky raiders until in battle and sure didn't like it very much!

    Ah, but we've already got complaints about the requests filling up guild chat, I think we'd be murdered in our beds if we started listing each donator! We'd might be able to use the message tab...

    I'm not a fan but that's just me and the game will always be bigger than just a few players...

    In Clash, the donator is identified in disappearing text that appears for a few seconds at the top of the screen. You have to be on at the time of the donation to see it. No log is kept, and it doesn't show up in the chat window. To me that is the best approach.

    In clash it's an on screen message that fades after a second. So no chat clogging.

    Time to find some better guildmates? I have found that the guild ship is great for encouraging more chat, except in inactive guilds...
