@Supercell
I can only speak for myself, but I think a lot of the current mood of the forum is due to a lack of knowledge. You are a business and need to make money. I will always respect that. You have created a fantastic community but also taken on the uphill challenge of keeping them happy. I think myself and others would love some sort of statement about the direction of the game. Will there be an emphasis on clan relations, an increase in content, or even a change in the current content? We are inthedark. I realize you have little to gain from a business perspective by telling us your goals, but it just might put many people at ease. It doesn't have to be detailed, but even a paragraph of your opinions on the game would go a long way. Give us something to be optimistic about.

Just my 2c

Yes! That's an awesome clan! http://forum.supercell.net/images/smilies/rolleyes.png Lol jk, now I'm going to get serious here, just trying to have humor spread around here.

In general though, in my opinion the forum tends to be a place for two kinds of people:

The general clash forum community, people for whole this is a second home, they know all the people - tease, launch, cry all in equal measure - I personally (as a player) love this community, sure we have our differences but hey.

A place for people who don't use the forums much to come and express an opinion - maybe it's an idea, maybe it's a support issue they are getting frustrated about, but quite often it's a complaint.

Now the regulars often do have genuine grievances - balloons being over powered in the early days, levels, loot, hogs, builder lag are things that come to mind - but they also value being here more than the grievance they have at the moment in time so they are not destructive to the community - there are very few regulars who are trolls.

The problem is people who have a single issue of some nature they feel strongly enough about that they want to express their displeasure and sometimes this means upsetting others.

So how do we deal with them - we can argue with them, we can tell them they are noobs, we can make them feel unwanted.

Or we can show them who we are as a warm, thriving, generous and helpful community and put our arms over their shoulders virtually and hope that they will realise this is not a place to be disruptive but one worth spending time in and becoming a part of.

It's time to hug a troll guys - it confuses them, it disarms them.

So the next time we get someone raging about the loot try saying yes it's not great, but which clan are you from how long have you been playing are you enjoying the game, what strategy do you use, do you have any ideas about how to improve the game.....that kind of thing.

Anyway thanks for reading i'll go back to modding now.

Honestly, I don't like balloons, I don't feel like they are OP either. But that's my opinion.

I honestly STILL have no idea how the system works, it's really confusing. Although I seem to like it. But I do admit that it kind of made us town hall 10ers raid those little nooby town hall 8ers and stuff. I am still with Supercell though, I HATE complaining as a matter of fact, but sometimes there are flaws in them. The simplest thing to do is just to mention what you don't like instead of whining. Let me state examples:

Acceptable:
Hi Supercell, I don't like this system, can you change it or something? If not then how can I change my strategies for this? Change trophies? Army? etc.?

Not Acceptable:

not everyone is mad, in fact a large portion of the community is happy. There are things everyone would like to see happen within CoC, the fact they haven't doesn't mean 'we are all angry.'

you really have no idea what's 'delayed' the next update. Maybe they're getting it right like you said. Maybe there's a programming issue. Maybe it's something big they're working on. Maybe they're just taking extra time because of all the holidays. You have no idea and neither do I.

i can only speak for myself, but this is what everyone wants..... That's all I have to say about that portion.....

you're saying everyone needs to stop flaming and stop complaining, yet the entirety of your post is a complaint to SC.

And the entirety of your post is a complaint about the OP.

And mine is to you.

Just to remind everyone, nobody here is allowed to have an opinion other than mine. Once we all get that through our heads everything will be just fine. :rolleyes:

Well spoken Daddy, I wish a few more of the mods had this attitude. Your post should be a sticky.

Another soft toned double whining thread. I am a fan of innovation!
