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

The minority that are on the forum are likely to be the ones that have the greatest passion about the game and these people are the ones who are normally be telling everyone how great the game is and telling everyone to play it, if the forum users are the ones complaining then its there biggest fans of the game which are complaining...

Yep, I agree. I've brought 8 real life people into the game who knew nothing about it. One of them gems regularly.

A reminder to keep things civil seems to be in order here. To clarify, that means personal opinions are welcome, personal attacks are not.

People voicing their concern by no means affects your enjoyment of the game, if anything it's only for the better (FOR YOU). So what with the antagonistic attitude?

I personally don't think others have to post up to my standard. I will, however, debate with the ones that don't. While the forum is free for everyone and they can of course post what they want within the rules, i disagree that every opinion should be taken seriously and that every post is equally valuable.

Also it's really not about people voicing their concern, but how. SC created specific threads for discussing the loot changes (including one liners) yet people insist on creating tons of new topics about loot while also adding very little to the conversation. They are free to do so, but freedom is a two way street and I'm just as free to voice opposition to those additional topics.

Everyone is saying that SC need to fix the loot problem and that its SC just trying to make money by making loot harder to find (not referred to this thread only). But tell me before the maintenance break we just had when was the last one? It's been awhile hasn't it. And before the maintenance break we just had (so the maintenance we had before the last one) we were getting breaks every week! Clearly SC are trying to find a solution to all the threads full of complaining.

But don't expect me to take this into consideration when i'm trying to figure out how many players dislike the loot system, because I know SC sure wouldn't. At least i hope they don't listen to spam whinings.

I should hope they do.



For the very reasons/points I've been trying to make all along.

Customer feedback is customer feedback. I'm trying to recall several business cases that illustrate this and my memory is fuzzy at the moment. Which one that will be universally recognized by the forum readers here is a quandry.

First I wanted to go with the GM implosion but I don't think many people will have read Bob Lutz's book that illustrates some of the major strategic errors in marketing that were made at GM.

Others are archery/hunting businesses.

Suffice to say, there is a always a story about a business that refuses to acknowledge who their real customer base is. Turns out their customer base wasn't who they WANTED it to be, and ended up killing off their golden goose without realizing it.

My point is the one liner complaints are just as valid. Because as I have said before someone who cares to complain is giving the business an opportunity to make it right, some customers will vote with their feet and the business will have learned nothing about their business model and how it failed. Having a well thought out feedback on a product is a very expensive and elusive bit of info, but a simple like or dislike is still better than having an open loop feedback; as in no feedback.

Look I understand your fear...an analogy of the fat Walmart customer that goes to CS to return a package of licorice that is open and missing half the candy, without a receipt, with security tapes showing that customer eating the licorice around the store. Im taking it as your fear is that ALL one liner complaints fit this model.
