The purpose of playing clash of clans

[HerryWS]

Yeah sometimes i feel it too.. I feel this game is one purpose goal, to be number 1 in the world.. In the recent update supercell make local rank, at least it make some new goal like to be number 1 in their local country..

but i think, sc should make other update like the most loots for a month and other kinda stuff.. The number 1 get gems too..just say get 500, it not make the sc lost profits too.. So, maybe all the players need that kinda stuff update..

just plz make gameplay improvement update and dont just make new stuff and troops.. We need something usefull about clan, not just for donate troops..plz make clan to be more usefull than that...make clan have something more interesting feature..

Why so serious ?

So much talk and analysis on deciphering the purpose of playing a game ?
Stop thinking, stop taking apart every single action to spend the time between upgrades and pretend to arrive at a conclusion feasible to self.

Just play or don't play .

Its not like we are too serious, we just give suggestion so this game will be better... Some people like to have some goal to play a game so we are not getting bored to play this.. Thats all..

simple goals always help

1. spend free time
2. meet new people
3. experiment different base designs

My goal, i hope one day, we can see this is, to have brackets, to allow competive play for us players, that diecide not to invest in the game

Point 1 and 2, its little bit out of the topic.. Firstly we are talking about the purpose of playing this game.. Perhaps more clever thought than that..

for point 3.. Yeah we can do that, but long term goal will be so much better..

Any mini competition that Supercell creates, be in most gold gained, most elixir gained, clans with the most wins, clans with the most resources looted, ANY form of competition, will DEFINITELY be won by people who are willing to gem their troop training time. So in the end, players who play 24/7 and spend lots on gems will still lead those new boards. So, what's the point?

the guy who serious is supercell, they make the competition of top 1 clan and top 1 player.
and they just want money and not care about making fun of this game.
i hope u remember there is a clan called "greedy supercell" lots of people realize this problem long long time ago. and supercell ignore them.
supercell aim at making new troops, it is very wrong of making fun of this game. they need rebuild the structure of this game.

The purpose of any game is to enjoy yourself while wasting time, if the only purpose of the game is win then it's not a game.

Explained: for there to be a single winner there has to be a "not winner" or loser or whatever you wish to call it. Therefore the result is not the purpose of the game the purpose of the game is to simply play, because a game is frivolous (the results are are not of substance merely for bragging rights , glory a title, honor or whatever).

If you make the result have substance and of significant importance and the reward needed for more than that then it is no longer a game.

Therefore as long as you are having fun playing this game by spending your time on it, the purpose is true to that of a game, and if you wish to spend or not spend your money on it who is judge, Supercell has provided a game that people enjoy and yes they make money out of it, why shouldn't they, they provide the service that they attest to provide and you are not forced to play. Truly if you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong.

I only continue to play this game because i have already sacrificed and put in so much time and effort and also money, that i would hate to just give up all that just to quit. There is no fun in just attacking people then just dropping again to make resources. There is no fun in just leveling, knowing that it will never end. There is no fun knowing all the money you spend on this game is going to a corporation that cant even fund a simple clan war system. I honestly dont know what you find fun about it anymore? Its fun to play, and watch your village grow, but its all for nothing, we didn't say we dont enjoy it, we are just saying there is no purpose for it. After you reach a certain level, you begin to understand what we are talking about, its easy for low levels to get preoccupied and caught up in getting trophies. However, after a while, you finally stop and think... what am i doing this for?

If games weren't competitive then its not a game... Give me at least 3 games where you aren't competing for highscores? or some kind of achievement...

You also contradict yourself, because you say "if the only purpose of the game is win then it's not a game." so your really saying this isn't a game. Because the sole purpose of this game is to win, and thats the only purpose. Did you notice every time you win a battle, there is a winner and there is a loser? Thats what we are saying, that is the only purpose to this game, its to just keep winning.

So you might not realize it, but you actually agree with us, we are tired of just having one purpose which we'll never even reach anyways. The one purpose of winning to be #1... and it should be about time where things change, the system has to change so there are other purposes for this game. Basically what you said, there is only one purpose of this game, which doesnt even make it a game... it just makes it, "who can buy most gems" if it was actually a game, there would be reasonable goals for normal players such as you and i, players that dont want to invest 1000s of dollars into it... we just want to have fun... and its starting to not become fun anymore with no purpose to the game...
I hope you understand where im coming from.
