Opinions are like.......

I am the leader of my clan. We have a core group that has been together for more than a year. Our numbers have stabilized after much effort. We were all very excited about this update until it's release. The only opinion that matters is that of my clan and my clan, as a whole, dislikes portions of this update. Not all of it, but the below items are what I hear most from my clan and also feel from a players standpoint.

1. PBT
2. Death of farming
3. Loot bonus
4. Availability of loot

The PBT was somewhat corrected, but nobody likes being regulated. However, SC's latest fix makes it livable.

The death of farming makes upgrades nearly unachievable. You simply cannot save gold/lix/de without becoming a major target. Farming was a means to save for that cannon upgrade, that barracks upgrade or your troop upgrade. The only thing that is achievable now are the items within your base that are quick and inexpensive to upgrade like bombs and traps. Try sitting on a few mil gold and see how long it takes for it to get taken from you.

The loot bonus does not offset the cost associated with the army that you have to build or how many times you need to hit next to find a base that has the resources that you need and is well within your ability to take.

The availability of loot is severely lacking. The economy is broken and just like our current Adminstration SC decided to print more money to infuse into the game, but this is a short term fix. They know it, we know it and unless SC does something to permanently change the current economy woes it's going to get worst.

TH10's, some TH11's have vacated the higher leagues making life in Gold a dangerous place to reside. Wasn't it SC's plan to have people reside in a league more appropriate to their TH level? I'm a TH9 and float between the Crystal leagues, dropped down to gold to see if I could make any headway down there, but life in gold league sucks and now I'm back up in Crystal where I can compete. It appears that the only people to benefit from this update were the TH10's that already have the defense and offense to take what they want and hold onto it. The lower TH's have taken a huge hit and saw no benefit from the latest update. Surely SC can give them a little to make it worth their efforts to stick with the game. This can't only be about TH10's and TH11's and to a lesser extent TH9's.

Flame away, I'm cool with it.
