This is not the case. There have been well documented cases of large amounts of players getting refunds through Apple based on an app that did not perform as expected, or where an update to the app invalidates or devalues previous in-app purchases. I'll be happy to give you details if you're interested, but I'm not going to post non-Supercell app names here.

With that said, it's rare... as it should be. I don't think anything that Supercell has done (or failed to do) rises to the level where Apple would rule in player's favor.

Well, if you actually took the time to research, you'd know the real problem is this:

A day is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds long. :rolleyes:

All AppStore (and Google Play, and Barnes & Noble Nook store, and Amazon Kindle Store etc.) apps are timed on a exactly 24-hour, rounded time schedule. Nothing Apple (Or Google, or Barnes & Noble, or Amazon etc.) can do about it, at least not until all 32-bit clocks have to be reset in 2038. ;)

(The extra 2 minutes is lag that cannot be changed, as SC has yet to identify what's lagging.)

P.S. Do you SERIOUSLY you could win this fight between a multi billion dollar company like Apple and a multi million dollar company like Supercell? :rolleyes:

Then explain why the shield time differs from the builders time please.

Who said anything about winning a fight against them both? It would certainly be more like pitting them against each other and grabbing some popcorn

I don't know. Different algorithm?

Apple would win in five seconds flat. :rolleyes: My friend Tim would just revoke Supercell's devo ID and shut down Clash of Clans and Hay Day. :rolleyes: You'd be destroying the game instead of helping it. :rolleyes:

The build times aren't outrageous, and they aren't too short either. If I was Supercell I wouldn't change anything. It's right in the middle so people that want to buy gems can buy them and people that want to wait don't have to wait for a crazy long amount of time.

People are not saying that the build times are to long,(well some might). What this thread is about is when they say its 14 days for a upgrade thats what we expect,not 14 days 5 hours,so as your builder might then be finishing at a time that is not convenient for you,you end up gemming it to make it finish at the time it was surposse to in the first place

You're right, you don't know.

Of course Apple would. That's why we're talking about getting them involved.

We don't want them to shut down the game. We want them to force SC to fix builder lag (SC admitted they could do it but it would take a full updates worth of time and energy) instead of giving us L12 walls. Did you read any of this thread orr

Getting apple involved? Hahahaha what am I actually reading

I don't know, because it DOESN'T MATTER. :rolleyes:

I really don't understand why you care about a measly 6 minutes a day. That's only a max $0.0012 USD worth of gems. :rolleyes:

Again, why do you care about something as insignificant as builder lag? :rolleyes: It doesn't matter. At all. Just don't gem, or gem time.

You can't comprehend it. It's incomprehensible why you would quit over this, much less care about it. :rolleyes:
