Agreed Wiseguy. Credit where credit is due, SC seem to be listening to the community these days. The captivating aspect of this game seems (to me) to be diversity. You can push,farm or war...or rush bases just for fun lol. That being said, IMO , the key generator for gem use would appear to be the top guys pushing. The war community may occasionally gem a hero upgrade, however, not the type of revenue needed to keep running costs/profit similar to that of previous years. I might ♥♥♥♥ & reserve judgment until the day it drops & read the fine print...except for this lol
last year the community was turned upside down with the changed rule of THs outside not giving a shield (because this was not the way the game was intended to play out)
now we receive half ,third less training time waits...seems to me like a subtle nudge for the community to start pushing,thereby using gems to boost etc. just the opinion of one lol
