To Dearest creator of COC

I'm absolutely and utterly addicted to this game called Clash of Clans. Im the type of person that wouldn't pay a single dollar for a ringtone or anything else in the app store, but yet I have invested X amount of dollars in this game. It shows how much i appreciate the work that everyone has put in to create this game. I read the forum religiously and what concerns me is the fact that I read stories about how the game goes down the toilet after we upgrade to TownHall level8. Stories about how its difficult to farm gold and elixor, about how people only survive by filling their storages with their credit cards, basically about how its not fair at that stage. So quitting the game is their next and only optioin. I for one would be very depressed once I get to that stage and I would like to personally BEG the supercell staff to PLEASE PLEASE keep this game alive so I can enjoy the game for as long as I live and enjoy every single dollar that I have invested in to my village. I also read comments about how people think the creators of COC "just dont care", but i would like to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and disagree with their comments. I believe something greater can come of this game. I would really appreciate it if anyone from the supercell staff can reply to my request. Thank you.

The game is pretty much still alive sir. Just have to adapt to the ♥♥♥♥ty changes lately. But yeah. Anyone can still make progress. Just slow like ssllooooowwwwwww... .. . . . .

Mike,

they will bleed every last dollar out of us because they can. The next update stands to make them millions, no joke. Over a million users worldwide if we all spent a dollar on the next upgrades it would give them that. But there will be people that instantly upgrade everything they can just to stay ahead of the curve for 1-2 days or 2-3 weeks. Meaning they spent close to a grand with the addition of more walls, which from the bottom up is around a 1million in gold for 1 wall to level 8. Addition of the x-bow which will force us to buy gems just to fill elixir storage, let alone the upgrades for it and the waiting time to build(rush that with gems too!), new th will be disgustingly pricy, probably more army camps and upgrade those from bottom up.....the list goes on my friend. Most people will at least spend close to 100$ this update on average more. Times over a million users........do the math. They do not care about us because they are playing off are addiction to not quit a game we love and a game weve already invested so much in both time and money. Ive been in the top 10 in this game and now exactly how they do things. Once you get there its harder to stay there constant gem buying. No other way.

As long as people continue to use real life money to stay ahead and keep their gem-clan on top then they will keep the current resource situation as it is.

So...nothing will change. Don't believe me? Just look at clans like Order, Irish Pride, and Phantom (during contests) and see how many of them have maxed out everything (including skull walls) and keep their trophy level high.

So, Mr. TC, you can thank them for keeping the game like it is. Oh yeah, you can thank me also because I'm going to max out this Ballista and get the Town Hall lvl 9 as soon as it comes out.

Town hall 9 should be a requirement for the Ballista. MONEY.

Being on the rank is a totally different story. I believe you have to spend money just to be there. But for some people who doesn't care at all, game is playable. Have to spend, but not as much.

Thanks for the input, well I understand that I shouldn't invest another dollar in to this game. Saddening really.

A great idea would actually be to give back for a change...all they do is take. Up the output of elixir and gold per hour is a small give. Especially with the new elixir shooting Xbow. Make unit prices cheaper. To beat a max level d you often need an army that's well over 300k with spells some closer to 600k. When the most you can get in a day from our mines is 360k.....sure doesn't seem fair. When you get up as high as I've been you have to spend just to hold your rank, attack 3-4 times more just to make up defensive 1stars worth 10-16 trophies. Trophies are not easy to come by when you are that high. You're constantly battling against top 30 players. Where you have to 3 star a max defense to get 20 trophies. So now you've spent 500k on your army and 1 starred a 15-20 guy and your stuck with 6-7 trophies for 6th of your resources. And that's if you win! Could be -20+

What they should do ,but I'm sure they won't,is make it so u can't get the x-bow by buying gems.... Make it so its like an achivment or something.... Idk.... But I do agree that there should some type of giving and not so much taking.....that's how it works in any relationship.... Buisness or personal....... I can assure u of one thing.... If supercell keeps taking and dosnt give.... They will not be around for the long run..... Maybe they don't care or maybe they do..... Either way.... They've got there money!!!...... But...lets keep it real....gona say one more thing..... NO ONE ,NO ONE..... Is making anyone play this game ..... If ur unhappy with the game... Then quit ... That's all ,quit .. Not sticking up for supercell here I've left my fair share of rants on this forum but.... We all know there here to make money.... So why keep on ranting and ranting....before I leave I'm giving it until the next update to see what gets fixed before I go.... Maybe u should do the same.... Peace!!

YOur right , no one is making us play this game ,,, but this has become an investment of time and money for a lot of people....ESPECIALLY THE GUYS AT THE TOP. So to just stop playing when you have put tons of money into this game is not really the point. THe point is nothing has been given since day 1. It was easier to play this game before they added new structures that made sure you couldnt hold your spot unless you had them....then it was the spells....if you have no spells your chance at beating a top defense are near impossible. Lets not kid anyone here....we are here to have fun playing a game...but supercell is a business and I respect that, with that being said, for the long run, a happy customer is best...I will keep spending monthly donations into this game if it had stayed the same...now. im no so sure. the day they expand the map is the day i quit!!!!!Quite frankly it would have gonnneeee waaayyyyy to far then. Game is fine as is, but they keep putting more things on here that require you to buy gems to hold a spot or ranking where you get nothing for it. Ive played many games involving real currency, some you actually got real money back and could witdraw it!!!! THe player gets absolutley NOTHING BACK IN RETURN IN THIS GAME. Unfortunately they are exploiting are weakness and addiction. Kudos to them for making an addicting awesome game but for the love of god...a sign of good faith isnt to much to ask for. Youve taken and taken and taken and taken, slight give, taken and taken and taken. Drop the cost of troops, up our gold and and elixir output because its getting ridiculous

Like I said I'm giving it until the next update .... If things don't change I'm out.... And I've spent 300$ on this game but I know when to get out
