I felt like I paid for gems more often when my loot stacked. With no loot being available it's taking me more time to get get it.. Therefore not buying gems. Anyone else notice this?

Absolutely. I refuse to spend gems on loot but sometimes use them to speed up an upgrade. Longer times gaining loot mean less opportunity for me to use gems. Guess they should've thought of that before the worst update in history...
I was looting too much gold and would occasionally gem upgrades to finish and free up a builder for the next upgrade but after the last update I am not doing this anymore. Supercell is taking this game in the wrong direction by continuing to reduce loot available to raid and I'm not going to buy gems until they free up more loot at the higher TH levels or majorly increase the league bonuses.
Apparently SC is saving you a lot of money.
You should thank them! Stop complaining.
I would rather have more fun and spend a few bucks a week!Quote:

On a side note, I have much respect for those with the patience I don't have lol!
If you can't find enough resources to keep your builders busy that's your own fault.
Wow! You really read a lot into what is written here. I never said I need to spend gems to have fun.Quote:

I was happy to play and spend 5 bucks a week or so. Thats $250 a year that Im happy to throw their way cuz I really liked playing this game. If they go any further with loot reductions I'm gone. Just not loving the game as much and there was no good reason to make the change. Multiply $250 by 100,000(about 10% of players) that might walk away from the game to get $25 million/year and suddenly Supercell might take notice.
They would now need to increase the raidable loot from storages by 25% to return to where this game was lots of fun. That is a big difference! They really put the screws to their customers with this latest update. They need to make more loot available at TH8 & TH9 which would not go against their policy of "protecting the newer players".
If it was no problem before the change, but now it is, then it would be the fault of SC because they made the change.Quote:

I'm hanging on right now in hopes they make it better in the next update. If the bonuses aren't raised or the raidable loot is not raised then I wont be spending any more time with this game. I will let my 7 year old play it but there will be no more gem buying.
