I just want supercell to own up to the mistake of having them that high in the first place

Walls and heroes have been a huge source of revenue for Supercell thanks to those insanely high costs of upgrades. But they have observed the decline in the number of active players and clans and they know that these high upgrade costs are the main reason behind it. These little reductions in costs are an indication that Supercell is trying to retain active players at all levels.

Many veterans did not think it could (maybe foolishly), so they put a lot of time and money into walls. Now that people know that SC will reduce prices as they alone see fit, people have been warned. However, there is no inherent depreciation that occurs in a digital game, so veterans have every right to feel like they are being taken advantage of for the "greater good".

Anyone who maxed out their walls at the old cost who would be willing to trade places with somebody else who hasn't upgraded any walls past level 9 and now gets the benefit of cheaper walls is an idiot. It will still take the player a very long time to max out his walls.

Retaining players by disenfranchising your most loyal players?
Pricey walls are not the reason people might be leaving. Earthquake spell assured them of that.

Highest walls are not a necessity in this game, many have reached legends top ranks without it. It was an ideal, many slaved for years to achieve it. Now its just handed to others without us being compensated in any way.

Call a spade a spade. This is supercell valuing new entrants over the most loyal existing ones that actually contributed the most to the games success. This is the worst decision I have ever witnessed and I am appalled.

Bell phone service offered better deals to new customers than loyal existing ones. I left bell because of it.
When your greed blinds you to the point you hurt your most loyal, to the reason you are a success. Its time for us to leave.

This is ridiculous and I cant believe you did this supercell. I'm out.

Well I don't think SC is that greedy. The free 30 gems give away is a clear example that they do want to retain players.

This is more of a bad decision-making. I hope it is limited time only since there is still time to contain the loss.

This crying over lower prices is something else.

I hated the fact they made walls cheaper however I kind of like it on second thought. I'm th11 and have 60 level 10 walls and was going to grind them out in a couple months. Now I'll just wait till I'm max defense and upgrade a my legos to 10 and my 10's to 11. It'll barely cost more and be more productive.

Prices fluctuate in clash as lvls are added we have seen prices and build time drop, if sc decided to raise the price to cook a troop would the people complaining be ok with them giving you a negative gem balance or a negative loot balance to make up for the troops you cooked in the past?
