Who is to say some other walls prices won't be adjusted to match?
Many upgrades in the past have caused lower levels to be adjusted and cheaper.
The whole hysteria could all be for nothing. Why can't people wait for full facts before jumping off bridges?
Agreed :)Quote:

Now, I don't think any of us can say whether or not Supercell is greedy, since greed is a matter of intent, and none of us know the Supercell staff well enough to determine their character.
However, it is interesting to note that while you can get everything without buying gems, Builder Huts are content that can only be purchased with gems. And, yes, you can be like me and save up for them, getting 1250 trophies for your third builder, and waiting until about level 70 for your fourth. But, builders are most useful when gotten early, and will provide a significant advantage. And, of course, if you want them early, you have to pay. Most folks around here claimed they paid $20-$30 for their builders. This is, yes, entirely optional and a rather small amount compared to the top spenders. And, yes, I've heard the "$10 for a movie" refrain. But, even "cheap" players have spent a far larger amount on this game than many apps (I've gotten endless hours of entertainment from endless runners, and those are usually free). Not that this is damning the company, just something I've noticed.
Excellent point, should wait to see the new rules. SC did lower the king and queen costs and build time while increasing 10 levels, that was great balance.Quote:

Etc. This is a game where everyone has choice, to play or not, to pay or not.Quote:

If people are gonna gem it they don't get sense of accomplishment but instead they get to compete in hard trophy range. So if they wanna use their money to compete than that's fine. Its like comparing casual poker night to hardcore poker tournaments. just my .02$ ;) (idk if any of that made sense im tired)
possible to max bases without gems? yes
possible to be top 100 without gems? no
it all depends what are your goals in this game...
i think what supercell has done is excellent but this doesnt not make them greedy keeping the cheap shield instead of closing made them greedy, that is the only point of them being greedy i can find
well duh you need gems to buy 3rd 4th and 5th builder ;)Quote:
