The Clash Economy plummet ?

First and foremost I understand that they envisioned clash of clans as a trophy based game, BUT that same trophy based game takes TONS of time and TONS of resources to reach the required levels to even worry about what trophy level you are at.

My question is: what percentage of clashers care about trophies solely and what percentage of clashers care about loot solely? If i were to take a guess I would say that loot wins that one.

Back to the topic: Th sniping no longer gives a shield. What does this mean? Most of the Collector raids will be gone within weeks. Which is why you see so many people dropping trophies right now to try and keep up with the drop of those bases.

Why are these bases dropping so fast in trophies? Many of them are people that quit before the update and still had the TH outside.

Another reason why the economy is going to plummet is: If i were to guess the average loot bonus for a successful attack is ACTUALLY lower than it was before the update.

Final reason is very simple: If you want people to actually build FULL armies to attack another base that means that person is SPENDING a ton more elixir or dark elixir to do it. What does that mean? That same attacker has less resources to raid for the next guy when he/she raids them.


It's a simple list, but it's the truth. Over the next couple of months you will see 99.9% of the clashers down under 1000 trophies just trying to find the collector raid bases that were formerly available all the way through crystal.

how do you guys and gals feel?




Bump

Wait 2 weeks, many weak bases will quit and will compound the issue of no loot being found. Its happening now. Only ones with loot are strong bases but they aren't getting a shield most often. I'm pushing hard to drop trophies because the game is now totally broken.

Cheers:)

i'm glad to hear somone agreeing. the game is broken. the very last part of the post is the most important. Everyone will be dropping trophies and doing the opposite of what moneycell wanted lol

I agree, i think this time its done, i only ever gemmed for farming along with probably half of the coc community. What a greedy, stupid update.

all the first time posters should ring alarm bells for supercell.

I'm a developing TH 10. I maxed my weapons as a TH9, got my BK and AQ to 20, maxed my troops and spells, and got about half my walls to 10 and the rest at 9. So I had a pretty good start as a TH10. Pre Dec update I've gotten about a 1/4 of the way to maxing my TH10, but I still need alot of the big ticket items and my heros are 25/20 now so it's a bit of a DE grind each upgrade.

Here are the problems I face as in this new economy. the new mechanics have made it so that at 1700 trophies I'm facing maxed out fortresses if I want a decent loot take. This requires an army that is going to cost as much or more as the DE and elixer I will get from the raid. Or... I can spend 250k gold searching for an easier take. So my question to Supercell is how do I upgrade expensive troops and heros without buying gems when my army costs more than what I'm getting in return? This is very frustrating for me because I am not a player who will just drop $100 into the game when I want something. I am however a player who occasionally gets an itunes gift card and redeems it for gems which I can use to buy down upgrade time, about twice a year. To me this update is geared towards forcing players to buy gems to "top off" loot to finish upgraded or research. Supercell is a company with profit in mind so to some end I can understand, however your current model is going to push away players like me who dont addictively spend money on gems but do occasionally buy them.

Hit the nail on the head. I'm a near maxed th 10, been cruising around gold 2 for a while now just farming. Since the update, I'm noticing a huge influx of TH10's in the gold leauges. Im getting hit non-stop by people dropping down, i logged on yesterday morning 300 trophies up! Its not just in gold either. I went for a look down in the silver leagues today and its the same story.

I'm willing to believe that things will get better. I won't quit either way, but its clear that this has shaken up the entire game dramatically. It will be an interesting next few weeks, to say the least.
