Well to be honest, the way I see things is with more clans leaving official servers like LVP to do strictly CW matches and sticking to private/clan servers (BB is a good example of this) the quicker this community dies. It used to be that you'd have clans fight over areas of the map, now its "lets do CW, at a specific time, specific server, specific set up, specific number of players, and etc.," to me thats fine, but when the majority of clans are turning to this style as the only way of fighting, then it makes samp boring. 24/7 training, clan training wars, wars, and etc., is nothing compared to the old massive fights in LW (NAM/SHIP), LVP (GB/FC/SHIP).
That interaction with other clans, the whole mini sort of diplomacy amongst clans really gave the TDM modes more life then most other online shooters. Although now it seems alot of interaction is done on the forums, with it being resolved in a CW. It used to be a sight, to have 4-7 clans fighting it out and having random players suddenly get swept up in it (Which allowed for the noobs to pick sides and become the skilled players they are today), and the server just being in chaos, but all the being fun.
