As Intended..SC keeps using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means
"as intended", Intended - 1. expected to be such in the future
2. contemplate, expect, aim, purpose. Intend, mean, design, propose imply knowing what one wishes to do and setting this as a goal. To intend is to have in mind something to be done or brought about.
With that being said, SC has made CoC "as intended" now. Since there had to be some foresight into this update, they must have been able to predict a percentage of backlash. SO YES!, they knew this was going to happen to a calculated degree. They expected this to happen, as they have made the update to have the game played "as intended". They also have the "intended" reaction they wanted after the update. A "Real Chief" will play the game as "intended" by adapting to the new "intended" game play. Everything that has happened has continued to happen by the "intended" effort of SC. This is all part of the plan...as "intended".
So, I "intend" to play SC less, I "intend" to not spend any money on SC (any more). I "intend" to keep complaining to deaf ears on the forum, I "intend" to tell everyone I know to not download the game, I "intend" to become the most casual of players, I "intend" to upgrade as little as possible, I "intend" to farm at the lowest possible level I can, I "intend" to play the game as I see it was "intended" to be played.
My real message to SC....SHOW ME THE FRICKIN SUPERCELL HANDBOOK THAT GIVES THE EXACT RULES OF HOW CLASH IS TO BE PLAYED!!!! There is none, I will save you the time. There is no end-all-be-all way to play clash, no "how to play" official rule book, it is all up to interpretation....and that is why SC has the market cornered on "intentions" ..... ya know what the road to hell is paved with?
Hopefully, SC will understand what I have "intended" with this thread, they seem to be the expert leading authority on what is "intended".

PS...
Since I have gone off on a tangent somewhere in this post. I will say, I do like somethings in the update, but for the most part it is a steaming pile of dookie. Their intention to improve game play as they intended it to be played needs work, lots. How about using your intentions to improve the update and intention to listen to consumers.
As Intended - made up - but equally absurd example
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AXXLE: Changes to xPhone ios 9.3
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Axxle created the xPhone as a phone first and foremost. It has come to our attention that people are using the phone for other purposes, such as playing games and surfing the Internet. The glass screen on the device is there simply to keep from getting fingerprints on it, thus we are disabling many features. It is in the best interest of our customers to stop all other functionality except for phone calls. We believe the screen will last longer and people will be less likely to drop their phone.
Please note, effectively immediately you will not have access to any features aside from making phone calls as we want the device to be used only as we intended, not as it is currently being used.
