Why are people quitting this game?

I like the post but it isn't just looting and construction time that make players quite. I was in a 45/50 clan with lots of crystals and masters but just because we lost three wars in a row the clan was destroyed. I agree with you that lots of people are quitting the game. But like everyone says there are always more that come. The problem with this is that an addicte quits the game and the forums and at his place a new member comes. I don't want to be mean to new members and I'm sure they'll do well in the future but presently I'm like on page 53 members list with the most posts and I'm a junior member. I hope supercell does something before phoenix64, 966souchou, jiglypuff and PrincessRorro quite.

I agree the OP was very well written and expressed the remorse for the number of friends that have left the game.

I also agree that the attrition at TH7/8 is just a normal by-product of the fact that those are the TH levels where things just start taking quite a while (upgrade times) and the daunting task of constantly increasing loot requirements sinks in.

Prior to TH7/8, a player can happily raid a few times and earn enough to upgrade just about anything that they want. But now, you need to plan out your resource protection and usage and some people aren't looking to think that much on a free mobile app.

Though I'm all for higher level collectors being released, I doubt that will be engaging enough to keep any of these casual players. There will be some that stick around for the Clan Wars, but for most people < TH9, CW is a loot hole.

The average casual player just isn't likely to stick around past TH8.

You should try to quit the game. It just feels so good not to be a slave to a device anymore. You can do lot of stuffs outside without worrying about your shield or CW starting/ending soon. No more endless ressources/trophies grind. I feel some pity now when I see all these people on forums wasting time reading/playing for such a huge amount/day while there is so many great things to see/read/live out there !

CoC is no longer a game after TH7, it becomes a chore.

Honestly I agree with the collector part, because I have unfortunately 'pushed' my th to lvl 9. Please dont go hard on me about how stupid i was, i know i know, but it is hard to get onto th9 max base because of the low loot collection.

No, a chore is something you have to do. CoC is completely voluntary. I think TH8 + is just as much fun as TH7 and below. Please don't state YOUR opinions as facts. This game is completely free to play, if anybody wants to quit, they have every right to.

so u dont play the game, but are still on the forums? hmmmm let me just process this

Nice thread!
I agree with you on the collectors, I'm a TH7 and I get as much loot as a TH5, but my upgrades take 5 times as much gold and elixer. I farm in the silver trophy range, but i could easily go to Gold I.
A lvl 12 and maybe 13 or 14 collector would do good for the loot from higher TH levels, and maybe a loot system where you get a different bonus for every TH level

for example the bonus at Silver I:

TH1: 30K
TH2: 30K
TH3: 25K
TH4: 20K
TH5: 10K
TH6: 5K
TH7: 2.5K
TH8: 1K
TH9: 0.5K
TH10: 0

This would lead to more people that push.

Great thread.(clapping sounds):p. I feel ya too. I remember when I first started this game. My friend has recommended it to me and I figured "what the heck? Why not this game. Every other game on the Appstore sucks so ill give it a go." Well...that started a pretty awesome time for me on CoC. But every once in a while ill look back to some old friends that I had just remembered and they have no league, bases are three starred and nobody else in the clan. But yet I have still soldiered on. Im a Town hall level 8 and im still having a great time with the game. Just because I have a awesome clan.
But yea... there is a lot of truth to this thread. I really do think that SC needs to implement SOMETHING do help with the economy of the game.

Second, "loot sucks", well, I agree. If troops and spells cost me more than I get, why even attack? If I have to spend 10 mins to search an attack worthy base, I lose patient. The loot change SuperCell made last December is a really bad decision. SuperCell should be focused on developing/improving the game play for players have maxed base rather than slow down players in lower level. This is not fuxking fair.

Last, I agree the rest.

Oh my god! Operate the patient before playing CoC and maybe they won't die! Jesus Christ!





I'm not even sorry, I saw my chance and took it


@OP The grind is an essential part of the game, if everyone maxed their bases in no time the game would die just as fast

Here's my take on this game. I started in March 2013 and I just upgraded to TH10 a week ago. I did not finish maxing my TH9 walls (only got up to lvl 9 legos) and my heroes are only lvl 15 and 17. My lab was maxed minus level 4 golems.

Yes, this game is a serious grind. I played basically every day since I started, minus a few weeks of vacations. I would say I average 2-4 hours per day. Zero dollars spent on gems. That's a ton of time commitment to get to where I am, but I am a very patient grinder and I find ways to enjoy farming.

You basically need one of two things to enjoy this game, a ton of patience or a ton of money (that you're willing to spend).

I'm sure SC is very well aware of the financial trends in this game and how player enjoyment affects their bottom line. If they felt they were about to lose a ton of money due to quitters, then they would do something drastic to fix this. The fact of the matter is, CoC has gotten so popular, new players have more than made up for quitters, and much of the quitters have already spent good money on the game and so SC already got the better end of the deal from them, there's no hurt in losing them since they spent as much as they were ever willing to spend.

New players that get hooked and spend gems to rush to TH10 then quit are a big part of where SC makes its money. Another large payoff coming from top players in the world.

I don't think SC is scared. But for the enjoyment of the game and to throw its loyal followers a bone, improving the loot issue would be appreciated by all. Let's hope these concerns don't fall upon deaf ears, but as it stands, I personally will still have fun playing this game if nothing changes, but I don't speak for everyone.
