Is that a haiku?

Elasticity. If that junior associate could go to other firms (games in the analogy), you have to make some form of concession to make that person stay with you. If you say, "you'll never be as good as partner X", that's not likely to sit well with someone who has thousands of other options. You cater to them a little and say "I know it took him 30 years to get there, but maybe it will only take you 25", or something along those lines. It's not instant gratification, it's concessions designed to make new players stick around.

Down the line is is the exact same thing: the older partner needs to do more work for the same result. The junior associate only spends 25 years and the partner 30 years. We are looking at identical players like you mentioned earlier, so the qualities are the exact same. The junior associate earns 5 years of partner priviliges compared to the partner, whom has the exact same qualities, does not.

Supercell, I dont care what you do with the rest of the upgrade, I am DELIGHTED with walls costing both elixer and gold. It makes so much sense since there is so much elixer in the game. Excellent decision supercell. I know not everyone will be happy, but you have made this clasher very happy

Let me guess: you must be the one providing them thousands of dollars every week, or nah, buying less gems but always boosting those barracks?

Oh really, just the casual player with Inferno towers and lvl 4 walls?

Let me put it in a comparison to explain what I am saying.

Hypothesis: I am a 23 year old, graduated and have a law degree. I come in a law firm as a juniar associate and demand to have the same paycheck, same privileges, etc. as a partner of 55 years old in the law firm.

Common sense: won't happen as the partner has worked years on it and due to his work he became successful. Hence I should not be allowed to become partner when I just get in.

SC reasoning: I started later, so the requirements to make partner should be lowered so we can have more partners. How would you feel if you were the 55 year old partner whom spend tons of work and time to get the title while I just did the bare minimum?

You tell me what you think. This is obviously an exaggeration, but quite accurately symbolizes what is happening here. New members get treated differently compared to older people.

Excellent point made 👆

Supercells focus as of late has been on new player integration. They are more concerned about bringing in new players with little concern for how their long term players are affected. New players mean longevity for this game and even more important longevity for revenue. First and foremost this is a business, we are concerned about progressing our base, they are concerned about progressing their business. If generating new players/revenue comes at the cost of some long term players then I guess thats the cost of doing business. Attrition is a part of this. Those commercials on TV are expensive and are there with a definitive goal. It's not to bring a smile to the faces of existing players but rather to get new players to dive head first into this game, open their wallets and start buying Gems. This wall update will be a huge benefit for everyone except th10's. I remember full elixer storages at th9 but how often do you see a th10 with full elixer storages? Nobody cares because the commercial was just on and 500 new members just joined 😎

First of all I'm not gunna explode in another rant like I did in another thread...First of all WHERE did upgrading walls in a row come from...Really SC? Take it off the ruled-out list then you can do that! Then the elixir for walls upgrades...excuse me if I'm wrong but that was ruled out awhile ago as well!Maybe the ruled out list should be called "Stupid Ideas That We Will Take Consideration Later". Yeah, not fair for those who worked their butts off for farming walls...No thank you SC no thank you...

*End Mini Rant

Thank you very much for pointing this out. I didn't even consider this, lol. However upon going through the ruled-out list, I couldn't find these 2...maybe they just changed it or something

[V3n0m45]

If everyone could just stop with the "but what about the people who farmed lava's en zaps?!" that'd be great. There are 40 pages of constant same nonsense spamming.

Here and there you get the "Good job SC" posts. I like you guys. ;D

But the rest, who claimed they spent X amount of years and X amount of gold and X amount of gems, should rather get a wife, or life, or both.

Seriously, this idea of 'it was hard for us, so you should suffer too!' is one of the most straight up stupid arguments ever. If that was the case, then everyone should still be working in mines and suffering through 14 hour labour days instead of relaxing in offices and living more comfortable lives. Just because something was a certain way once, and some people have to go through it, doesn't mean that the system isn't flawed and should be fixed as soon as possible.

Updates happen that make things easier for newer players. I played a game once where there was an item that required 200 days to get (you could only get a coin once a day, max, and it needed 200 of them) and it straight up sucked. I did it, all the other top players did it, but when the update finally came that made it easier for people to get (by getting multiple coins in a day) most people agreed that it was long overdue. Just because we'd had to grind out for nearly 7 months to get this damn thing didn't mean everyone else should be forced to suffer the same fate.

Accept that whatever your wall levels are, it's not a real achievement and you shouldn't hold onto it so hard. This elitist behaviour of those people who happen to have been around from the start is what kills off a game from developing further, you should welcome new players and welcome changes that make it easier for them to close the gap- because they have like 2 years to catch up to the 'hardcore' players. You'll still be top of the tree, don't panic.

Irony in your argument. It doesn't mean that you enjoying this update means that the top of the tree has to accept you. Your mind is incorrect. You stating that we the hardcore players are selfish and do not wish new players to catch up. I'll be right damn straightforward with it. I do not want them to catch up. Why? Cus it's obviously ridiculous to shorten the time needed to achieve the same results. What bout you? You wanting to enjoy the benefits of this update and we do not enjoy a single thing? Damn you're so damn self-centered.

Even if the loot will be fixed in this update (it probably wont), older players have already wasted ALOT of elixir and it could've been used on walls and now they add this, i would've probably had max defences months ago as i wouldn't be spending my gold on walls, so thats much higher lvl walls and defences that i could've had now

DO you understand how dumb this comment is?????? It is called an UPDATE for a reason. Let me explain clearly how updates work. Updates basically makes changes in the game from a previous version of the game. Do you understand now they will be CHANGES in the game, yes CHANGES so suck it up.

[TheLastClan]

damnit i really hate the idea of walls being upgraded with elixir, cutting their prices in half would be just as good dammit and only half as annoying as those idiots whining about having stuff that has ben ruled out in the next update getting something they wanted

[GonFreakss]

With walls now costing elixir, TH9s will now be able to upgrade their walls to lavas at a much faster pace than th10, where elixir is much more scarce!

I still remember the days sitting at TH9 not knowing what to do with the overflowing purple elixir... well, at least SC solved that problem for all TH9s and below.
