The State of Clash of Clans

Really, I was not aware there was a problem finding resources. While you complain, I did not see your statement for improvement..how about some ideas?

What? R u serious? Statement for improvement? How about return the game to how it was? Duh!!! Lmoa

I'd say at this point. The game is really bad. Is there a problem finding resources? NO! Drop a few hundred cups and start farming like 90% of the population is doing.... Is there a problem finding resources while hunting cups? YES. They need to fix it badly.

We all play by the same rules, so if the game rules change, the ones on top are those who adjust the quickest.

If only that were true. Town Hall 7 players get more loot than I do at Town Hall 8, even though I have stronger troops. Not the same rules at all.

Still no reply from mods or developers about the reverted loot penalty except that they're not looking at it. Sometimes, there's just bad news, and there's no good way to say it. Some entities avoid such things and wait for them to blow over. Honest companies give us the facts, and then let it blow over.

The blog post was an editorial. It's an informed opinion. No proof required, and it doesn't need to be unbiased--it's not a news article. You want to tell your side, write your own editorial.

The community likes to believe that if there's something they don't like, they can change it. In truth, if we banded together, we could. Those who say, "stop whining" don't get that. They are the sheep.

Tell them what you want, and vote with your dollars.

A balancing argument? I wish Supercell gave me anything to create a balancing argument with. Sure, they made a great game, there is a reason for why this game is so popular. The problems stared to pile up with each update. You are not a noob, you know that battling today requires much less strategy and planning than it did before spells came out. You know that the matchmaking is unbalanced in favor of the offense. You know that there isn't an open line of communication between the developers and the players.

I know you love Supercell and everything about them, but you have to face the facts. High ranked players are leaving the game, not because they got bored or want to move on, but because Supercell has made this game harder to play with each consecutive update.

If they reverted the game back to the way it was in the beginning... It would be the smartest move supercell could make...and then work on updates that improve gameplay for everyone... Not just the new people....

I absolutely agree. It was that first game that was so amazing, and it's what I spent money on.

I bought the Scrabble app. I'd be upset if they kept changing the rules. Supercell has never bothered to explain to buyers that the game will keep changing and to beware of any purchase. It may seem advantageous now, but might not be tomorrow. I'm obviously not their demographic, which is someone who will buy gems for fleeting purchases on some combination of strategy and farming game, however, they've never bothered telling the people what their demographic is.

It was the change of the game and my perception of Supercell and Apple that had me vow never to buy another gem. I don't know if I'll ever reach the end game at this stage since I refuse to buy any more gems, and they're adding content faster than I can upgrade with 4 builders going full time.

Plus, with the loot penalties, I'm reluctant to upgrade to TH9, and I probably won't do it.

Maybe the end game is more fun, and I'd end up buying gems again, but I may never know.

For now, I'll keep looting because it's so fun to see other people lose.

The point in any game is to have fun. I am glad to see that your still have fun playing. I am not sure at what point I would not play this game..I do know that I became "addicted" to Everquest. I do not play that game any more. When a game becomes a problem for the person playing and is no longer fun, or creating problems within the house hold, or spending to much cash on it, I think it becomes un fun and is no longer worth playing.
Supercell and Apple will do what they want for the best interest of their companies. I hated when Apple came out with the new iPad, as I had just purchased a new iPad. If they had bothered to tell the customers that they were rolling out a new product I would have waited along with thousands of other people....It was a smart move for Apple. Does the mean I will never purchase another Apple product...
My point is play in have fun otherwise it's all for not.
