War event treasury discussion

[ubba13]

Exactly. It’s probably unfortunately worded, but still the amount of reaction seems considerably over the top, especially considering there is nowhere in the game that loot can stack over full apart from a subset of real world money transactions on special packs.

And this is also the first time they've offered something that will overflow the treasury by this much. The others have always been ~ 2x, so as not to overflow; leading people to believe it may be different this time. Our beloved community manager was asked if the treasury would be capped 3 days in advance and did not answer.

I'm not worried about the loot. But I do see a pattern of SC offering things and not delivering. This is just one example. Changing rewards for CG not long ago was another. It's getting to the point you have to take their announcements with a grain of salt.

We have posters here who will pounce on other posters if they have an "i" that is not dotted or a "t" that is not crossed. Then go to great lengths to defend SC when things like this happen.

It's not that 'we always look at the bad side of the events'
It's just a matter of thinking before acting

- Would a x4 bonus be nice for everyone?
A: Not exactly, as high attackers in clan wars get their loot castle almost full without the x4 bonus

I'm just saying there's not much difference for some users, including me

What if you lose? Are you still going to get a huge amount now that it's x4??

People here are only thinking about winning, and yes, the bad side. But think about if you lose and therefore the good side.

I don't even understand how people can complain.....

darian clarified that it would be capped by cc but it still seems like false advertising. next time they do this,(if they are not willing to allow the loot to overflow) they should simply announce it as 4x xp & 2x loot event.

But there are players getting 4x loot. Just needs a clarifying statement that it's up to 4x loot depending on treasury capacity..

Its almost as if forum people never lose wars.

I don't like to be misled. When I saw '4x loot bonus' I thought 'yay that's fun'. But then I see that it isn't really, the disappointment is an unpleasant feeling. Sure the bonus is 'better than normal'. But for me the feeling of disappointment lingers.

Why not celebrate generously? What a wasted opportunity for some feel good fun. Having this 'trick or treat' uncertainty about it spoils it.

And what harm would raising the cap really do? Even if I got an uncapped 4x loot bonus and win the war (say 6 million), I still won't be able to upgrade a single defence or troop (I need at least 7.5 million). Having a cap of 3.6 million means that even if we squeeze in two wars (we can't) and win both I still can't upgrade a single thing.

Perhaps it's easier to advertise it as 4x loot rather than "Whatever loot amount will fit in your empty treasury, except if you lose, in which case it will be 4x loot".

Seriously, it's more than you all normally get and SC didn't have to up their war loot offering, they could have done something completely different (probably wish they had now, given all the complaining) to celebrate 4 years of wars.

Why is everyone talking about how it benefits losing? Why does losing need to get incentivized? We war to win right? We do most things in life to win. We have competitive natures. If you aren’t good at war then yes you don’t have anything to complain about. You’re seeing more loot than ever.

Someone like me who has played this game over 5 years loyalty. Spent some good money at different times and have seen the good and the bad just wants to see Supercell be fair. Don’t be so damn cheap for a couple of days.

Many are saying this is just a game why is it a big deal. No, this is a business for Supercell. They collect a lot of money from players. Therefor they need to be held accountable for what they promise. If not then just don’t do events like this. I run a company and if I told a customer I wasn’t going to honor what I promised, all hell would break loose and it would be incredibly bad for business. You’re always going to have the devils advocate people on these forums. Especially the keyboard warriors that think they’re cool by calling people out every chance they get.

The bottom line is, SC falsely advertised this event and that’s what the issue is. What’s worse, they’ve done nothing to remedy the situation making people believe they just don’t care.

You know the old saying, under promise and over deliver, here Its the opposite. Its about expectations management, Its very well known in business If you set the client expectations to high, they will be angry, even If the report/product is a really high quality and above the usual standard.

is it a big deal, of course not we getting higher loot than normal, the difference in he long run is negligeable (compared to overaller treasury case)

is ir natural for people to be upset or feel "cheated". Yes a little. Was sloppy from supercell but in the bigger picture not a huge mistake. They didnt builder base this one, probably not reasonable to be super angry.

honestly it doesnt seam like they are being cheap or disinenuous, this seams like a sloppy mistake, and mistakes happen to us all. Is it annoying, Yeah a little, is it a huge deal, surely not? If we shout at them for every mistake they they will go deaf - we should be a little discerning.
