Am I the only one who feels like clash of clans is declining?

Yes suggestions had been made, and i do believe SC sees those suggestion, i'll leave it to them to decide. SC reads suggestions, but they should not waste their time to explain why they are not implementing every single one of them.

If you want to help the game, post a well thought out post on how you are suffering. Only when these type of well thought out loot problem posts contribute to the majority of post will i agree that it needs fixing.

Do u have any idea how annoying it is as a restaurant owner to have the same bunch of customers come in day after day, order the same thing on the menu, and then complain it sucks? When asked why, they just say "it's your job to figure it out, i'm going to eat next door". Yet, they come back every single day, saying nothing more than "this food sucks"

Very constructive.

Any feedback can be constructive with a large enough sample. Some feedback will help more than others but it's all useful. By your logic, polling a million people and asking them who they are voting for (or does the loot suck, yes or no?) would be useless since their answer doesn't explain why. Again, all feedback is constructive. Sure we could find out more if we ask people to write an essay about why they are voting for someone, but who has time to read all those essays? Presidents are elected by sheer voting numbers, it doesn't matter why people voted.

This is not an election, and SC does not make updates or balance troops based on number of whiners. It may seem that way with the hog nerfs, bit i'd think that more thought had went into that.

Or else they would have just created a poll and look at the numbers without reading feedbacks.

Feedback thread is not for "i agree loot sucks +1" comments. Hence they should be ignored.

According to their own founder and co-founder (see link above), that's *exactly* what they do, but you must be right because ... er ... because ... <mutters> ... er ... yeah!

Whiners and proper feedback are different.

Whining is not proper feedback.

Saying "I don't like the new loot system" is proper feedback, even if it's phrased "loot sucks". It doesn't take a dissertation to get the point across.

And that ends our discussion. I'm gonna go enjoy the game now.

Have fun entertaining one liner complaints. ;)

One thing SC needs to realize is that a lot of casual players that used to rely on collector raids are hit hard by the recent updates. I personally am okay with SC's intention to promote storage raids despite of those occasional 50+ nexts. But those casual, collector raiders are not.

The casuals, they don't go on this forums, even if they do, they could be too lazy to sign up an account just to voice their bad clashing experiences. Most players are not reasonable; they don't care; they do not look at things in an objective way; they don't have the ability to analyze the intricacies of game mechanics, things like 'if i put my wb here, which wall is it going to get'. They don't learn or improve their skills.

CoC started off as a game that is very easy to get started. You don't need to have a lot of hardcore game experience to pick up this game. The majority of CoC's player base is consist of people like this. They think this game is as easy as those block-eliminating candy rush-like games.

But what if this game is getting too hard/frustrating for them?
They start to log on less, and less, then delete the app.

The mass don't adapt like most of the forumers here do. The sad fact is, SC can either cater to them, or lose them.

Ikr loot has been ♥♥♥♥ recently, I gave up raiding 4 days ago and boosted all my mines.

How about I upgrade my town hall to level 10? I have enough GEMS.:rolleyes:

Ignoring the numerous straw man arguments, spelling mistakes, poor grammar and misused words, it seems you value people whinging about repetition in a video game, threats to quit, mentions of cancer, and announcements to the world of upcoming deletion of their app unless their demands are met in the very near future.

Each to their own I guess. I will continue to voice my opinion on those that believe that their particular gripe deserves it's own thread on here, while you can continue to chunter on and defend those that moan for the sake of moaning.

Still you can always try to effect change by stating 'Yep this game has taken a turn for the worse', that's the way to go about changing the world.

Yep because every sentence I make has to change the world. You don't listen to anything anyone says, all you hear is yourself talking. All I was doing is agreeing with what the OP said.

Funny how people that complain about GRAMMER always have their own GRAMHER Miss Steak in the very same posting.

Funny how you talk about straw man arguments and proceed directly into an ad hominem argument. Never mind your use of characterizing my argument as a straw man argument is completely inaccurate. Do you know what a straw man argument is? I didn't think so. Seems you have a penchant for misused words yourself.
