You'd be hard pressed to find any iOS game that matched (never mind surpassed), the amount of updates, pre-updates, and forewarning that this update had.

Lol @ Daddy's edit.
The answer is that cut and dry. You can be assured Supercell reads the forum, if you don't believe that you are a fool.
If nothing else, the mods read the forum and conference with the developers about it.
You also have acknowledged you're not likely to see the last response. So again I ask you, what do you expect an admin to come on here and say that won't further aggravate people?
The point that is apparently flying over your head is the aggravating people part. I fully understand that there is no way to make everyone happy, but just letting so many people's complaints sit with lack of response is lazy and irresponsible on their part, and pissing alot of their paying customers off. As for what they should say, I dont know. For starters they could let us know if they intend on tweaking the loot or not and put this discussion to rest one way or another. But standing idle simply watching everyone argue over this is not good business practice.
How do I listen to money? Where is the headphone jack? I can definitely still see well enough despite how "blind" we've become, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Anyways, your post makes me sad, since I literally spend my days listening to you guys, passing on and discussing your feedback with the game team. Maybe I dreamt it all?
When a change goes out, and a group of users don't like it, there isn't some magic ability to instantly roll back and correct a change of rewrite a feature. It's a serve side game which means any decision we make could take weeks or months to alter again. We listen to feedback and develop deliberately, with careful thought and consideration for each change due to this. While nothing I can say on this thread will change your mind, you can rest assured that there is Supercell staff and Mods CONSTANTLY combing through your feedback and finding the best compromise with the dev team on how to make the best Clash of Clans experience possible for all users, paying or not.
Also, I always find post-update loots a bit frustrating. This is due to a combination of factors. One of them being that many inactive players return and spend their loot. Another is that already active users are also shelling out a ton of loot and there is less available. And yes, inactive users are pushed farther down the battle queue all the time. We've never changed this, not with this update, not with any update. Churn is part of any game, and you have to build in considerations for that in MMO style games.
Hope that sheds a bit of light.
We'll continue to work on finding the ideal balance for everyone. Sometimes you should just expect a bit of give and take from update-to-update. We're not claiming to be perfect!
Really they need to let you know they intend on tweaking the loot? Clearly they tweak the loot all of the time and will of course continue to do so.
I'm all for coming to the forum and complaining that the loot is bad. I'm also all for challenging other posters that say it isn't.
However these complaints about the staff not caring blah blah are silly.
You see SuperSteve has responded. Do you feel better? Did you learn a lot? Looks an awful lot like response #2 on my previous list. Whoopie!

Fair play Steve, I'm not surprised why you got appointed the role of Community Manager. What you said about loot vanishing soon after every update is always a sad sight for us farmers, but at the same time there is usually a fair number of inactive bases that haven't updated for what ever reason it might be (an outstanding iTunes balance for example ;p).
Everything will get back to normal soon enough, I'm sure of it. As far as I'm concerned, being able to upgrade 3 archer towers to level 8, 2 wizard towers to level 4, maxing purple walls and started skulling in a week says quite a bit... Stop complaining.
A message to everyone getting all stressed out; R E L A X... Sure, SC want to make money - but no one's forcing you to keep playing & paying. Everything balances out at some point after an update. Be patient.
