If supercell had advertised it as a temporary special? "For this month, you can upgrade walls with elixer!" People would have been so grateful and happy for this. You never see people getting mad about 1 gem boosts. Nobody complains that supercell can't give 1 gem boosts and then take it away.
People need to see it more as a temporary boost to walls to help th7 and th8 players instead of a punishment.
Yes this would've helpedQuote:

This is actually a really good idea. Too bad the damage is already done.
Hide yo' wive, hide yo' kids, the hate/troll threads are coming.
Yes, that would have changed everything (except amongst those players that didn't know it was temporary or got so used to it that they felt it should become permanent).

500k for skulls is nothing, get over it. Hundreds of thousands of people did it with gold only before you, it's not a big deal
Although I personally do not have a problem with this, it has angered many because Supercell gave them this feature to make the game better for them, only to take it away. It is basically like adding a new building to th10 then taking it away.
The problem is, it didn't make the game better overall, it made it worse. So they adjusted it.Quote:

Agreed. I think Supercell needs a new sales and marketing or public relations team. Trying out a change temporarily, and assessing the impact before making it permanent is always a good idea - and to your point, public perception would have been different.Quote:

Or they believe that the game is ignoring protocol and picking on them.
Its called rebalancing and has happened with many things. They deemed lvl6 was too early for elix walls and moved it to a higher lvl. If you people complaining had said anything about it not being available from lvl1 when the update first came out then you would have a leg to stand on. But no, its clear you guys are self motivated without any concern for the gameplay experience as a whole.
SC gave TH 7 and above a feature, then they say that only TH 9s and 10s can enjoy it a month later, of course people will be upset. And your argument about making it available from lvl 1 doesn't apply; what makes people upset is that they had a feature that was given no "expiration date", if you will, and a month later SC decided to take it away. TH 1-6 never had the ability to upgrade with elixir, and people above TH 6 can easily spare whatever gold is needed to upgrade a lvl 1 wall with no issues, so there's no reason for them to care since the new update really doesn't affect them.Quote:
