A true statement according to HTC 

You don't need to be online to get the war win perks.

From the Trainer:
and a perk point bonus is awarded to players that have been in the winning country for a minimum of 12 hours prior to the end of the war.

I spend half (or maybe more) of my time in the tower (afk).  But frankly, I don't care too much whether or not that pleases or displeases anyone.  And that won't change.  Ever.

The Mom from Texas brings up another good point.....  How many times do we hear somebody say "It's my 15 bucks"  I suppose for 15 a month if you want to chill in the tower, so be it.

Looks like "side balancing" to me.

They are trying to balance the game play, NOT the population. If your "country" has more players you are handicapped by NOT being able to use the "uber" equipment. Should you have a bad case of the DT's, you are more than welcome to switch sides and use the "uber" equipment and satisfy that "need", but it is NOT a requirement to help balance the game play.
