Lowering the cost of walls please!!!

To Whom It May Concern,

I have been playing clash of clans since the beginning. To give you a quick background, I am currently lvl 96 and I have created a clan that now has ~46 members. My background is in design and marketing and so I have a good understanding of gaming philosophy. Over the years I have spent countless hours farming, upgrading my base and I have found that the walls are a really big stumbling block for the game. Personally for me, I have lost the interest to play as much because of how costly it is to upgrade even one wall at a high level. In the past, when I was fairly active I would farm an average of 2-3 million gold a day. I calculated the amount of time that it would take for me to actually get my walls to lvl 11 and the approximate time was .... half a year. Half a year of non-stop playing just to upgrade walls, is simply insane. The concept of playing the game for half a year is not the issue, but rather only being able to upgrade 1 wall per day...or 1 wall every two days as the accomplishment of all your farming is rough. Having goals in this game, both short term and long term ones is the key to keeping players driven and playing.

Personally, I have already lost a lot of the interest in the game because of how pricey the walls are. I still play from time to time out of commitment to my clan. Recently, I have begun playing another game.. very similar to this one called Dungeon Keeper by EA sports. My overall critique would be that they don't seem to have a "wall issue," where something is soo overpriced it would take months just to get it, and they have better community features where you achieve goals as a group and there are rewards for doing so. I really want to see this game progress and so my suggestion would be to implement something similar where there are team goals and maybe this can affect the walls somehow. For example, if a clan get X amount of trophies, they get access to level 10 or 11 walls... that way it promotes people to actually get trophies. Right now... most of my clan though we are all ~80 lvl, we dont want to get trophies because there really isn't a benefit other than the look. The bonus gold isn't worth it and farming at a lower level is just more efficient.


Anyone else feel the same?

but its fun at the beginning to save up money to buy or upgrade walls

The first few levels arnt that bad but when it gets to like 500k each wall thats when u should lower it. I mean come on thats way to much

make lvl 8 walls cost 400k or 450 pls

Those that already have their walls maxed up or nearly maxed (through hard work or hard cash) will likely oppose any decrease in the pricing of walls as even a small percent decrease will result in a collosal amount of gold. I have nearly gotten all my walls to only lvl 7 and it took a long time, but i had fun playing the game while upgrading walls only once in a while. Any decrease in wall price at or below level 7 might irritate me a little atm, imagine the unsatisfaction those with walls 11 would feel.
My advice is, unless you have maxed out all other upgrades that needs gold, don't make wall 11 a goal, its not a neccessity to have maxed wall, just a compliment to your existing defenses. I see it more as a luxury to those that are willing to get them.

If walls are deterring you from the game dont upgrade them... besides i have finished lvl 9s and if they lowered cost now it would tick me off. They are fairly priced anyway.

I know what you saying but wall prices are fine, supercell might even give us an achievement for them soon so never give up.

I have done most of my lv 9 walls and have had no real issues.

Sure it's slow progress, so what? I like having something to spend gold on while upgrading my heroes.

Also I find farming higher leagues more efficient. But each to their own.

No, even lower. I would like 200,000 gold for a level 8 wall, and level sevens should cost 125,000 gold.

I like walls prices, it keep the game interesting.
