count on his luck dude
I agree with most people on this one - the dude just had some terrible luck. If it were me, I'd be seriously peeved, but hope I'd have the strength of character to suck it up and get on with playing. I do sympathize tho, which there seems to be a serious lack of. Especially considering all the money he undeniably spent to get up there. So, I don't want to trivialize his loss, but I do want to stress that it is an eventually we should all be prepared for. As hb808 pointed out:Quote:

I do appreciate how you spend your money ^^ Although there is no way to know what percentage of his money he is spending to maintain his ranking. A few thousand bucks may be somewhat insignificant if you are making six figures, but it is more money than I could ever consider spending on a teacher's salary (especially on a game:eek:).Quote:

Now, for how important this game is to an individual, well that is completely relative; each person ultimately determines that for themselves. Whether playing a game should have such a hold over someone...ummm, I guess there is a real discussion to be had there. I'm guessing from the tenor or the majority of people's responses, we still value the real world over the CoC one. Thank the gods :p
Still, I feel sympathetic in a "well, that would suck" kind of way. My first reaction wasn't "suck it up princess" LOL Although my sympathy is only marginally beating out my more sarcastic side in this case. Must be getting in touch with my sensitive side ;)
Why would you have tears? You think of this as a little program on your ios devices and losing a spot to you is MEH. That's why you aren't in the top 5. What does that have to do with Moreno? He cares about having a high spot on the ladder enough to invest a tremendous amount of money and time. Of course he can always earn more money, but the time can never be recovered. So to lose a spot through no fault of his own but rather a server issue could be a very big deal to him. All OP asked was should this be chalked up to bad luck or should supoercell take steps to ensure it doesn't happen.Quote:
