Advice from the CEO

saying it was to fight bots would be the best way to get some heat off themselves.

They would never admit it. In fact, it's against forum rules to even discuss exploits.

In the grand scheme none of this would matter if SC would just break their silence and communicate with the player base. I guess that is too much to ask?

As for the CEO thing... it's the internet, what sort of credibility could anyone have anyway?? even the folk with the little "Supercell" badge under their names need to be taken with some suspicion.

Absent any data, it is impossible to know what is really happening but I agree that there are a lot of threads complaining...

Spot on about credibility on the Interwebz...

Sure they would, they've admitted it in the past actually.

Yes, but a real CEO complains about things like shoddy treatment by airlines. They don't pretend they have some special insight into a competitor's internals and make silly pronouncements about it on internet forums. Unless their name is Mark Cuban.

All the bleaters in these forums are why most companies are not open at all about their plans. Supercell is an exception. It will be interesting to see how long they are willing to put up with this constant trashing and give up on being transparent.

Supercell collects a lot of metrics, I'm willing to bet on them making the correct adjustments based on what they see there, rather than the very small sample size here in the forums of self-selecting malcontents and dubious "CEOs".

3. Moderators should be held to a higher standard than normal forum trolls which is the reason I posted what I did.

He is either lying or took his ceo thinking hat off after work and became a different person.

Making a thread with this title amounts to trolling. The title states the topic, and this topic is "i'm a ceo"

Honestly, I don't care enough to go back and search...it was around the war attacks and airplane mode.

Stop saying this update is to tackle bot issues, because it never has been. Bots are still out there, stronger than ever since now that they can also raid those juicy active bases.

You missed what I was meaning.
I was not complaining that he made his points. Or that they had been made before.
I was saying, that is one of the reasons why he got that reply, because he was making all the same points that was already made, which, if he was a CEO, that just popped in, his points would have been more original, at the very least.

A wise man once told me, don't argue with fools, cause ppl from a distance can't tell who is who. ✌

That, is why I made a point, and not argued with you.
I too, think that the OP made some decent points. But to start off in a lie, claiming to be the CEO of a major gaming company, and even try to suggest which one, yet not backing it up, is not a really bright way to get SC to read your points.
