What WoW were you playing? There is very little similarity between CoC and WoW and honestly I struggle to figure out if this comparison was sarcastic or not because the rest of the post seemed serious. Honestly you could find more similarities between a toaster and a ball of yarn than CoC and WoW.

Oh my, I did say WoW ... I was referring to the whole warcraft game franchise. Same types of troops, heroes, spells. CoC is a subset to the warcraft games with the distinction of having clans vs. multi player gaming.

I'm not really talking about loot. But if you want to talk about loot, it is always good. Just the game gives you oltrageous limits to find a good one.Yes, loot does affect fun, and so does chatting. As I stated tapping next doesn't make people want to play a lot(apart the seriousle addicted) so less chat as well. I'm not saying the loot is bad or something. But really, tapping next furiously is very frustrating and no fun.

I guess I'm confused. If the loot is "always good" than why are you pressing next so many times? Just raid already.

I judge how good loot is by the amount available AND by how quickly I can find it. So IMO loot is good. I can easily and reliably (5 min of searching or less) find raids with 200k+, with 30% of raids being over 300k and I even find a 400k raid once a day.

I'm a TH 9 that farms between 1300-1700 within a given day.

Yeah i somewhat agree with the troops and theme as a whole being sort of similar with wow,however it is a lot different in the gameplay and with the millions of games out there on the market ther is bound to be some themes and concepts that are more likely to be made into games therefore some games will be similar in ways.However what coc has done is bring a dying Genre to the forefront of gaming and spawned some very obvious copycats and then some that are a little more original but still running of of Coc's great success

Strategy games like coc have been around a lot longer than just WoW,and yes you are right that supercell doesnt own the rights to the genre of our game,However they do own the rights to all the characters and probably a lot of the in game mechanics that some other games have copied (Castle cxxsh hopeless as it is) but what Coc does it does really well and way better than any other competitor on the market (that stupid game with the ninjas)Clash of clans is number one in many many countries for a reason

This I can agree to. I'm not defending anyone here. Some of the initial gameplay and screens used to mimick CoC (don't mention names... against forum rulz) ... down to some nitty details. However, that's no longer the case. They've evolved past where CoC is today, you just did not give it due diligence. You can't play those other games like you play CoC and expect to do well.

"but what Coc does it does really well and way better than any other competitor on the market"

How would you know that? Doesn't sound like you've seriously played it. The AI of that ninja game is far more superior to CoCs (path algorithms in Clash can't even compute distances correctly) ... The whole clan system is several years ahead of CoCs pace already ... Clan wars make the game a team sport and injects extreme level of adrenaline fun that just doesn't exist in Clash, and they've just started.

Theyre both fantasy games, all fantasy games have significant overlap with unit types and such, Warcraft didn't invent archers or goblins. CoC and Warcraft have significantly different gameplay, it's not really fair or accurate to say its a rip off.

I think much of this "nexting" complaints could be solved if people knew how to farm properly, mainly what ranges they should be in for their town hall level. I never "next" for more than 5minutes and most of the time its only for 1-2 and I manage 100-300k gold everytime.

I don't think its similar either lol and I agree with the comments about the next button if your farming in the right range good loot is never hard to find.

That makes more sense haha I've never played the regular warcraft, so I didn't even realize you probably just typoed :P

it was 3am and my mind was spaghettified a little. Haha.

To the OP, where are you friend? Want to drop by my clan, we could chit chat and I could share some tips on recently acquired farming spots ... and how you can spice up game. Theres a spot, I tell ya, where no one attacks you when you log off, and there are tons of resources to loot with barbs and archers. Send me a pm if you want. Cheers.

No. CoC is a rip off Blizzards WoW (World of Warcraft). Supercell owns no rights to call any of the other games on Appstore a copycat, and they rightly have NOT called them such. Don't you go do that now.

I agree with your original post. You want fewer nexts... you need to get high in trophies where the loot has gone, need to be in TH10. Supercell has made the game unplayable to a lot of people, I lost half my clan, some pretty good players and youtubers as well. Fortunately, one of the games you so obnoxiously called a copy cat is actually better to play than CoC. So I have a lot of fun there ... then get back to CoC when my shield runs out.

I seem to be spending gems there cos its really a lot of fun. In CoC, spending gems happens out of frustration ... which I have completely put a stop to.

First of all, I never had the intention to pull out World of Warcraft or whatsoever. I haver never played it, and I never mentioned it in my thread. I call copycats the games like Battlebeach or Samurai for example. The gameplay is exactly the same as Clash of Clans, isn't it? BUT, this is not the point of the thread. By mentioning World of Warcraft you created a comparison thread of Wow and CoC. Great.
And about the second part of the thread, I realized that time I was trashing by playing is oltrageous. I'm not encouraging you or the players to play less, just a personal thought, really.

I think much of this "nexting" complaints could be solved if people knew how to farm properly, mainly what ranges they should be in for their town hall level. I never "next" for more than 5minutes and most of the time its only for 1-2 and I manage 100-300k gold everytime.

There is never a permanent trophy range for a specific TownHall my dear. I do know how to farm properly, don't worry. I am a max skull wall. And about nexting 5 minutes, you know that it's a lot of time? Let's say you skip once every 2 seconds. That is the minimum to see if the loot is decent or not. That is 30 skips a minute. 150 skips in 5 minutes. Also, what is more stressing is the skipping fee. I'm not whining about the skipping fee, which is actually good, or something, but 750 (Th9 skipping fee) x 150=112,500 going in 5 minutes is a bit stressing, no? Don't you pray Jesus and keep saying "please please please" every skip? Because I do.
1 raid, 5 minutes, 150 skips. If I play half day I do 10 raids.
10 raids, 50 minutes, 1500 skips. If I play the whole day I do 20 raids.
20 raids, 100 minutes, 3000 skips.
You know, it takes me 5 minutes to find a decent base as well. One raid might not me a lot, but play half day, and you trash away an hour by tapping next 1500 times.
Much fun.

Actually, loot is on and off. It would be unfair if the Loot System were the same as 8 months ago. One thing I've learned is that the game takes a lot of patience.
