Free stuff

I think, unless they surprise me and decide they are into cutting back profits, SC should just rule out in general all suggestions that are basically 'SC should give us more for free'. I see a lot of suggestions that in the end are simply that and since the reason COC is here is to make money none of these ideas (not even the creative well thought out ones) stand a chance. I am not judging the ideas themselves, just their chances of becoming real. I think a lot of them are cool sounding and I graciously thank all the posters of them for the thought they put in. But we need to be realistic that SC is not going to do things to cut profits and accept that as being a reasonable position from their point of view.

These include,

• Easter eggs, presents, gem trees, anything that simply gives loot with nothing extra being spent to get it.
• The guys that thought all day to figure out that if mine/pump production was increased they would get more and that would be good for them personally.
• Rewards for the clan member that got the most stars in a war. (could there ever be a multi way tie at 6? Possibly?)
• Rewards for most heroic attack. (Actually, I have yet to figure out how that is chosen exactly)
• Verious other accomplishments during war.
• Free gems each season to everybody that played just because they played
• Additional resources to leaders. (Although I can't oppose this one too hard being a leader)
• Additional resources for being elder or co. (Like us leaders don't get pressured for promotions enough already)
• Bonus increases depending on how many stars get earned (understood this will encourage guys to play for three stars instead of settling for one, but kicking the one star guys accomplishes the same)
• Gems for suggesting something on the forum that got adopted. (So we need to figure out who exactly was the first suggester and do this in situations where not all duplications were from copying, plus this would encourage copying. Let the games begin)
• Gems for catching and turning in abuses on global. (Yup, I saw this one go by. Need I list the problems with it?)
• Missions and quests that then earn stuff.
• A giant magical sea monster that comes out of the water and spits gems all over the place that you can then collect. (Yup, saw this one too)
• A unicorn that you can kill to get gems. (Saw this one too. Not morbid or anything? Why not get the Unicorn protection leagues on our case?)
• Increase gain from obstacles, tombstones, etx... (anything you collect)
• More obstacles to be collected.

What I will support though, and this one has extreme wisdom and common sense so I very much want to thank all the guys that suggested and supported the idea.... that I personally should get free gems for logging in each time. It was very well thought out. I am just one guy so it will not make any reasonable dent in profits. And I would be so busy spending those gems that I would not have time to write posts like this. Win-win.

Hahaha! Well said. Well said indeed.

I want to add to the giving of free stuff the ideas that xxx should cost less (I.E. Dragon upgrades should cost less, boosts should be longer or cost less, etc..) also count as free stuff they might as well just rule out since it is really just another way of asking SC to take money off their profits.

After seeing it several times I need to add "We should get bigger payout from the presents" (all variations) to this list.

On Christmas morning do you come downstairs to your free gifts and tell your parents that you think Santa should have done better?

This needs a stickie so that new members are obliged to keep in mind of supercell's perspective.
Well said!

I agree. I'm kind of sick of people requesting for free stuff from supercell.

If I were a mod, i would stickie this thread.

This definitely should be stickied.

This is perfect!

Sticky thread :3
