Direct Message to Supercell

[Pingfao]

I'm pretty certain the users have every right to be Vocal and Constructive about how the game can evolve and progress further.


Supercell like it or not, Criticism will always be Criticism ( negative or positive).

Not quite sure why I was quoted for that, because I never said anything against criticism. I simply pointed out the flaw in his opening argument.

Also, OP, I do agree that trophies should be more desirable, but how would removing them altogether improve gameplay?

@OP,

This is an evolving game. Back in the days when pedro didn't hold a microphone and shout at the top of the hill, atleast 90pc of the coc population was chasing cups while few smart guys knew cups meant nothing.

Now, the situation is... Atleast 50-60 pc of coc population claims to be farming while the rest do a combination of cup chase and resource chase in cycles, as their clans mandate. A further low percentage in the second category dont mind spending money to save time and buyout all the cool toys available to chase cups.

In this scenario, it is a difficult game for noobs with th less than 6 or 7 to barely manage to gain resources or cups. Sub-200 farming is stealing candies from kids. They will get disillusioned a lot quicker in the game and turnout rate (loss of players) at early stages of the game will be higher.

So, SC has a challenge here. They need to do something to turn the tables around and keep the new players, while making sure there is no mass-exodus of mature players at th8-9.

Designing a multi-player game where the ecosystem allows for sharks to attack noobs makes the balancing act difficult.

League system and the loot penalties are to ensure noobs dont quit too soon. However, quite honestly, the bonuses from leagues dont cover my next-ing costs between raids. So, no real bonus there to keep me chasing cups. Besides, neither the leagues nor loot penalties are so painful that farmers feel a threat (as yet).

10x-20x the current bonus may be something to force farmers to think of cups and leagues.

To add to what has been mentioned above, once you do get past 2500 trophies, there is a distinct lack of loot and matches as this is the point at which most players begin to gem and buy shields.

When SC can address the loot and matches issues, then there will be more incentives to trophy chase and I can't help but wonder, the early part of the game had renewable loot in goblin maps - perhaps that's an option available to SC to open up the loot. once the 'herd' moves this will resolve the issue of matches.

It's not right to force people to play the game how you want it played.

True, it's not right. Something isn't right, and what isn't right is just what you said isn't right. You seem to think something else, and what you seem to think is that SuperCell is forcing it's players, and what you seem to think they are forcing them to do is to not only play the game but play it the way they want us to play it. I disagree. I don't think they are forcing us to play. I think our freedom of choice to play or not play remains intact, so although I agree that it isn't right to do such a thing, I don't think they are doing what you seem to think they are doing. So, if your contention is that they are forcing us to play the game how they want us to play it, then you are mistaken because they are not forcing us to play the game at all. Clearly, you didn't mean to suggest that they are forcing us to play, but that is an implication of your suggestion that they are doing so, and no, you didn't explicitly say it, as the subject matter has to do with saying it's not right, which you are correct about.

Still, there is something you don't like, but you haven't managed to state exactly what that is without inadvertently saying something else, and I would submit that it has to do with their dictating the parameters of the game, but even still, you can freely farm and upgrade at your leisure without succumbing to the pressure that is associated with their set parameters.

In short, it's not wrong of them to change the game how they want, disliked as it may or may not be, and if you choose to play, you are free to play any way you see fit so long as it conforms to the set parameters.

Supercell, like all companies, make games to earn money....

How they earn money........they earn their cash from the players who gem( most particularly the top players in this game who strive to be the best)

they are developing this game for their cash cows, not for farmers............this game was intended to be a game where everyone went for trophies, not for resources........

However, it turned out that farmers now populate 50% of the clash of clans population, ruining their profits....( they could make more if everyone went for cups, hemmed their troops, base, etc.......

by introducing this league system, they are slowly changing the way how some of us think.by imposing a huge bonus in the champion league, I have seen more (stupid) players determined to go for cups to get a better bonus, trying to get that 100k bonus that they will never get ..........


in the future updates, league bonuses will likely increase or supercell will find a way to stop farming by introducing why there is a better reason( better bonuses etc) to go for cups........



thats my 2 cents
