How Supercell could make money instead...

How Supercell could make money instead...

This update was obviously gem and money driven and we get that they need to make money. However there is always a few right ways and a whole lot more wrongs ways on how to do it...

Here is a few suggestions to supercell,
1) Readjust the gems on finishing an update for heroes... people aren't going to spend 800-1,000 gems to finish an upgrade. However if I see that it takes only 100-200 gems, then that is more tempting to Gem a hero, instead of waiting 7 days

2)Triple the production of mines and collectors for 24hrs OR cut the cost to 5 gems only. There is no real value in boosting these resources...

3)Dark elixir collectors needs to be 10, not 15gems per day. More people would boost the dark elixir.

4)Spells, barracks and heroes need multiple options for boosting. (5 gems for 2 hrs, 10 gems for 6 hours)
You would then be creating a value for the 10 gems for 6hours.

5) Offer weekly offers, back when you did the half off the cost and time for hog riders... That was a huge success for players. GET CREATIVE with different troops and spells.... It will encourage people to attack more and attack with different combinations. (Ex. Half off the time and cost for Pekkas and haste) Wow this would create a lot of excitement.

These are some options that can help increase your revenue. This with bringing the shield back for th sniping, but making it a 6hr shield instead... Would help everyone! Making their base attackable twice as often...while providing a FAIR farming system.

Enhancing the PBT back to 6hrs like it was, is a perfect balance. The 3 hrs just isn't working... And you know what they say about things that aren't working.....


Please Supercell, listen to us... Together we can all enjoy Clash again :cool:

Second one wouldn't be viable because that'd reduce incentive to attack.

Good point, they could lower gem cost to 5 for each mine... Paying 70 gems a day is too high for only 500ish more gold a day

uh.. I fail to see much of this logic as sound...

You imply that SC's money grabbing is bad... and you offer worse, blatant, choices than the so called 'obvious' grab for gem sales people condemn?

Tell me, what pray tell are the 'obvious' gem grabs people hate so much.

If you cite the Village Guard feature, I recommend you go back and do your math again, because that is hardly a scheme for any kind of gem sale. You make, on average, 6 gems a day (some more, some less), not including gem boxes, and not including the spike in gems from achievements.

How is this 10 gem feature, limited to once day, based on a person's free gem income, going to be a real money making scheme?

The only 'scheme' I see in gem sales, if it can be called that, is the reduction of cost and time for barrack, spell, and Hero boosts in half. This 'obvious' money grabbing feature will cause everyone to flock towards using them, because they are too stupid to realize how easy they could be nickled and dimed by being addicted to the cheapened feature. ... Please :smirk: (sarcasm for those tone of voice deaf)

Yes, I am getting sick of people shouting about how big of a money grab this system overhaul is, and fuming and threatening to leave, acting like spoiled brats to some of is, when much of it was much needed changes to kill the metagames that was slowly strangling the game to death. If fixing the game so it stays alive is 'money grabbing', then fine, it is technically trying to make more money.

On a less biased and ticked off tone, SC really is limited on gem cost adjustments. They can only improve them in our favor, and will get more flak in return than the Elixir/Wall Upgrade mess up if they ever increased or reverted the price back up again (not including temporary 1-gem events). If they do any of what you suggest, there is no realistic way of turning back.

A phrase some people cite, in argument for game changes they don't like, "Don't mess with success." They are making enough money as it is, and they have not needed to adjust the gem costs in... I don't know when. Can anyone cite when they ever changed the gem costs drastically? I know a feature here and there got adjusted, but I can't place any large changes off hand.

@WarrenJames

Gotta say I 100% agree with you.

One point that was not brought up is if they did change the gem time for hero build time. Imagine how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ off everyone in the top leagues would be who gemmed their hero's to max. And if I am not mistaken those are the people that SC most likely gets the most income from.

Don't ♥♥♥♥ off the people that pay you.

even with these insane prices, the sad reality is people will still buy gems and SC is still making a huge profit.
