    Who is to say some other walls prices won't be adjusted to match?

    Many upgrades in the past have caused lower levels to be adjusted and cheaper.

    The whole hysteria could all be for nothing. Why can't people wait for full facts before jumping off bridges?

    Agreed

    There is room for impatient people to spend, as well as room for patient people to achieve the "unachievable"

    Now, I don't think any of us can say whether or not Supercell is greedy, since greed is a matter of intent, and none of us know the Supercell staff well enough to determine their character.

    However, it is interesting to note that while you can get everything without buying gems, Builder Huts are content that can only be purchased with gems. And, yes, you can be like me and save up for them, getting 1250 trophies for your third builder, and waiting until about level 70 for your fourth. But, builders are most useful when gotten early, and will provide a significant advantage. And, of course, if you want them early, you have to pay. Most folks around here claimed they paid $20-$30 for their builders. This is, yes, entirely optional and a rather small amount compared to the top spenders. And, yes, I've heard the "$10 for a movie" refrain. But, even "cheap" players have spent a far larger amount on this game than many apps (I've gotten endless hours of entertainment from endless runners, and those are usually free). Not that this is damning the company, just something I've noticed.
    @Mendax - You were kicked for being rude, arrogant and obnoxious and for having a ♥♥♥♥ base.

    Excellent point, should wait to see the new rules. SC did lower the king and queen costs and build time while increasing 10 levels, that was great balance.

    It's a perfect system, I cannot fathom how it's 'greedy'.

    Every time someone complains about them 'been greedy' I just facepalm and think what the hell is wrong with them.

    The company has a model that allows them to make money AND provide an excellent game for free.

    The whole 'pay to pwn' idea is absurd also I might add, that's why the game has loot penalties. Everyone has equal safety and danger regardless of their hall [unless they prematurely upgrade, which is their own stupid fault - not SuperCells]
    This sums it up. After skimming the threads prior to and after each update you can conclude that some people will always blame others for their lack of patience, lack of money, lack of commercial understanding, lack of self discipline, lack of appreciation for the work of others.... Etc. This is a game where everyone has choice, to play or not, to pay or not.

    Why are people getting mad about lvl11 walls? If they're mad because they cost too much they have clearly never gotten anything worthwhile in life, it takes time and dedication along with patience, those attributes are what make milestones like max walls so worth while. If people are gonna gem it they don't get sense of accomplishment but instead they get to compete in hard trophy range. So if they wanna use their money to compete than that's fine. Its like comparing casual poker night to hardcore poker tournaments. just my .02$ (idk if any of that made sense im tired)

    i think what supercell has done is excellent but this doesnt not make them greedy keeping the cheap shield instead of closing made them greedy, that is the only point of them being greedy i can find
