The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[Onomatopoeia]

We are lamenting this issue for months because the issue has been around for months.

The only ones who should quit here imo is the full SC board of directors for their total lack of respect for their customers.

I guess the issue isn't as bad as you picture it to be since you are still playing this game despite the issue having been around for months and no indication of imminent change...

It's hard to take someone serious who has been lamenting the same issue for months and claiming to be close to quitting... but is still playing. Please, have some self-respect and quit already.

Funny post.

You dont need to take me seriously. In fact, I was not actually directing the post at you.

I'm glad that you pick up on the fact that I have been complaining about loot for months though - ie since before the infamous lix for walls update.

I'm playing less. Quitting is becoming easier but aFTER BUILDING - OOPS CAPS - up a maxed TH10 base over 2+ years, its not something I want to do...

But spending more time on the next button that I do chatting in the clan or actually deploying troops in a raid is clearly non sustainable.

I look forward to when you progress your base and are also embraced by the full warmth of the current system. Time played plus abysmal loot and you might be more understanding of my position...

Oh it is bad. But some people have friends in game. We log on to socialise with them and try the odd raid.

I have raided 3 times in around 6 hours. BARCH. I am choosing not to raid as opposed to waiting for troops.

NOPE 😊. I personally dont believe that grinding for exp/loot/levels is especially fun or enjoyable especially when the gameplay mechanic is all fluff and no substance.

There are many console games out there luckily. These games together with those which have no sort of lvling system which ranks players based on actual skill are the most fun to play with.

Try picking an action game from the 80s and early 90s, i guarantee that you will have the most fun in gaming in a long time, certainly more so than the dulling mechanics in CoC.

I'm sorry, I think you misunderstand. I'm not justifying why people play these games, I'm trying to explain to you that for whatever reason Clash brings enjoyment to the people who play and that in the end it's no more or less pointless than other games. Sure, it's different than the mechanics of other games. I see that you find other types of games more fun. Go play them instead, nobody's forcing you to play Clash.

I'm one of the older folks here on these forums. I played those 80s and 90s games you speak of in my childhood. Most of them involve a lot of mindless button smashing and incredibly simple mechanics. Not a particularly good example to make whatever point you were trying to make.

i couldn't agree more with this statement. Everyone is trying to find a troop makeup and trophy range that's not a waste of time. There should be incentive to building the longer training time troops. I can confirm that many members of my clan (mostly th9, some 10s) spend more time spamming the next button than actually fighting bases or talking in clan chat.

This conversation may provide meaningful insight to what's really going on.

Watched Misery last night, thought of you guys.

Watched Forrest Gump last night, thought of you.

Epic movie, I'm glad to be associated with it.

Possibly James Caan and Kathy Bates' finest performances to date.

I think it's pretty obvious by now they will never take it seriously. I mean, Kathy Bates and James caan's acting performances are more important than giving feedback or keeping us informed. Even after confessing to not doing enough to communicate. Isn't that clear enough for us? The whole thing is just a joke to them. Time we do the same and find our fun in other games.

2 good rids this morning.

The third...lets just say I wish I had not bothered starting the search. Already skipped so much that I will not make a profit and even with a target of ONLY 100k of each, I am seeing nothing to attack. How many posts until SC take this seriously?? It is not only TH8 and below playing this game. Higher TH players are here too and need a way to acquire resources that are not being addressed by the current economic solution.

I could list the games that handle economy better than SC but that is against ToS...But a bit of searching and most of us can find them. In the absence of any ideas within SC, perhaps you can take a look at the alternatives out there and "borrow" some of the looting mechanisms - nearly all of the games allow players the ability to raid within minutes. I am NOT lying when I say that i have been nexting for 30 mins here! I am past caring about the cost. I'd actually be fine sinking the 2m gold i have in my storages into thin air - remove it from the economy in the irony that is SC's chosen system (no available loot and they take all your loot to prove that to you!!) - but more importantly I will phsically not have the resource to keep searching...

Maybe that experience will finally give me the balls to delete the app...

Lol bro

just do what i am doing. Totally not raiding. Log in once in every 8 hours to collect and donate and then log off. As for the rest of the time, play the game that i told you last night hahaha more fun lol

Its fine man 😊. Im just stating that clash eventually boils down to mindlessly smashing down buttons in a restricted area around the screen.

Come to think about it, arent the mechanics of clash quite simple too, you train your troops and deploy them in designated area on the battle area based on where you want them to go. Oh and you can defend against those attacks too 😊. But really it basically boils down to doing the same thing over and over again whether its farming or pushing.

As for the 80s and 90s games... yeah i agree that there is a fair share of crappy games back then. I assume that those button mashing games are those boxing/wrestling games or those terrible arcade or movie knock offs.

Of course, there are still many great games that require practise for mastery too. Just check out the many lists of the best/hardest console games of that era 😊😊😊

If he deletes the game, he will miss his friends in the game, people whom he chatted everyday for two years. But if he doesnt delete the game and continue playing, there is nothing much to play because most of the time he only gets to press the "next" button.

I'm afraid you won't have much to look forward to. Despite your false assumption, I am already embraced by the "full warmth of the current system", as you so eloquently put it. Perhaps not as advanced as you (knowing that you farm lvl 11 walls), I still have been TH10 for a long time now with about 1 Billion GG (doing heroes, lavas, finishing off ATs). I actually quit playing myself about 4-5 months ago due to me being bored with the decreased loot and endless nexting (and only recently came back when the new ATs were introduced). But you see, I didn't write a multitude of pathetic complaints with threats of quitting before I quit. No, I just acted like a sensible person would: I didn't enjoy this pastime anymore and I quit. And then I returned after a couple of months. While the current situation isn't that much better, the increased league bonuses do help. I have adjusted my playstyle by going up in leagues and playing more casually. I'm not thrilled with the loot situation, but evidently it's acceptable to me. Otherwise I wouldn't be playing, would I? I mean: you'd have to be a complete idiot to keep playing a game of which you don't enjoy its most important feature to you, no?

My point? Adapt or quit. We get it by now: you don't like the loot situation. There is no indication that the situation will improve, so why do you still keep playing?
