I guess $1000 isnt enough

I disagree hon. Extremely lucrative businesses that produce MMO's do have sales. Popular PC MMORPG game businesses have the perennial subscriber discount promos & sales on special in game pets etc to gain even customers You are stating the obvious and I'm stating a fact. I said a business making millions could if they wanted to as an appreciation player promotion, which would "entice" even more people to buy gems. Have you actually played other MMO's? At least once a year, usually holiday time (sometimes not), they have specials to reel even more people.

Supercell is riding a gravy train. They have chosen not to do this or even comment on the possibility, so it's actual possibility remains to be seen.

I never said anything about lowering the gem price permanently. I said a one day sale. Heck, I would be happy with a 6-12 hour sale

Also, being at the top of the leader boards gives people an incredible opportunity to make a name for themselves (rightly or wrongly.) COC has such a broad audience that people are spending thousands of dollars to be at the top of the boards so that they are seen by everybody, as you can see that jorge Yao has done and is now advertising his twitter and facebook accounts. Why wouldn't supercell be charging a premium for this type of exposure?

To be honest, I haven't played any other MMO's but I do understand business. If you have something ppl want and will pay exorbitant prices for, you don't voluntarily reduce your income. Only reason to do so is because sales are faltering or not quite as robust as expected. Supercell has seen nothing but ridiculous returns on this game, in my opinion fueled by the discount gem sites that are now all but extinct. So I again do not understand why you think they'd voluntarily cut their own income. But hey, just my opinion.

To show appreciation to the people who made them rich by giving them a small break every now and again. They have made more than enough, and will continue to make more than enough to cut us some slack every now and then. It's simple gestures like that that keep people around.

The top charted COC "whales" are getting thousands of gems now every other week. Reaping the rewards of carrying SC on their mighty wallets/purses.

I am fully aware that SC are riding high on their $$$$ train, we all know that. I just gave my .02 just like anyone does.

Sooner or later that money train will slow down with another spin off MMO or some other hybrid game. Their Christmas gem special will be interesting then I'm sure.

In the meantime, I only hope they hire more people for customer service. That is lacking as has already been said.
