August: you can steal 35% of the storages, without any cap.
Supercell profit: $200000 daily.

November: Storages now are capped to 30%
Supercell profit: $500000 daily.

January: Storages are now capped to 25%
Supercell profit: $700000 daily.

February: Loot penalty being introduced.
Supercell profit: +$1000000

March: Loot penalty even higher for TH 8 and TH9 and bonuses for attacking TH above you.
Supercell profit: +$1500000

April: Bonuses for the league system introduced, reduce to 20% for what you can steal for the storages.
Supercell profit: +$2000000


So with every update Supercell have been making it more and more difficult for players to progress, what causes that people buy more gems.

So who fault is it, that supercell is this greedy? the players? or the company itself?

Apparently this bussiness strategy has been working and i dont see them changing it unless people stop buying gems, i would probably do the same thing that supercell does if i was CEO, just sitting in my ferrari with my super model girlfriend.

The loot penalty was introduced in October. It caused such an uproar that it was halved. It was then restored silently a couple months later, but none of the sheep cared. It was increased in Feb.

Don't be lazy. Someone summarized it a few pages back.

I've spent more than double as well and totally agree with hb. did you not notice what kind of game this was after your first few $100 spent? seeing a few charts/explainations on sc business model it seems its working as loot goes down gem purchases goes up. why would they change if they are gaining record amounts? only way to change would be for everyone to stop buying gems... but seeing this is a game where money gets number 1... I don't ever seeing that happening... but try and enjoying this game for what it is and not to be number 1. be patient and wait 10 minutes for wizards haha

One does not simply wait ten minutes for wizards. :P

I don't know about you guys, I was playing non-stop 10+ hours everyday before, now I play 2-3 hours tops. This game doesn't pull me in like before, the grind doesn't feel satisfying anymore. I think they're doing a good job at making money, why care if your customers are happy or not when you can control the market. Lol. I'm back to playing dota2, more actions. ^^ ciao.

in the time it took you to answer that you could have just answered the question itself.

I just read 16 pages and did not gain any knowledge to make up for the time I wasted reading it.

In fact, I think some of my brain cells died.

Its just dumb the way it is right now. you guys are raking in more cash then you ever thought possible and instead of even the smallest thing like having a gem sale ONE DAY a year or not penalizing the looting you make it harder and make it so you have to buy more gems.

I had no problem buying gems until I start to feel like your just scamming me. You guys really need to add the stuff people want like having an actual CLASH OF CLANS instead of a league that makes it even more of an individual battle instead of a social style tournament.

I spent way more on this game then I should have and would never in a million years spend what the big dogs do. Its funny because I have never played a game that you can pretty much buy your way into the top. I have never played a game that allows <call it what you want> ♥♥♥♥♥ing to get free shields to stay at the top. Whats even dumber is the people who help them.

Im not quitting but I am done spending money. Im around $950-$1050 and you just lost my business.

im getting plenty of loot for th9, just got to keep raiding bro.

People who spend money on gems, and that considerable amount are those who don't mind. Or who can afford it. It really is no biggie. Pay you stay!
