I think you are completely wrong here. I know for a fact there are many unhappy players out there that don't even post on the forums. I know our clan is slowly dying and most have given SC until early part of January to make changes to the broken system or they are hanging it up. Our clan is mostly adults ranging from age 30-50 that are low in game spenders around $20 a month. Right now there is no point to boost barracks when there is no loot out there to get and non of us are willing to make war armies to farm with. If it wasn't for my clan mates I would have already deleted this game.
Really hope SC does something in the next 3-4 weeks because if not I can seriously predict a lot less people playing the game, me for one.
Just to level set I'm a close to max defense th9 other than walls with only a couple more dark troop upgrades left with both heroes lvl 15+. Don't get me wrong I am still progressing but the progression is way less and you have to invest so much more time in the game just to progress at this slower pace. If a person isn't willing to put in at least 1-2 hours of boosting barracks a day in raiding you just cannot get anywhere. You feel like you can't take a day off and if you do you take 2 steps backwards. When a game starts to feel like more of a job than entertainment you know the end is near.
I'm a Finance guy with my MBA and my opinion someone at SC should get fired over this upgrade/business model change. Only time will tell if I'm right but everything I am seeing in both my clan and on the forums I don't think I am too far off. The game is not horrible post update but it doesn't have the sticking power it had pre-update that made the game so great. Can you imagine if they had ClashCon post update. You would have seen a riot at the convention.
