Have faith, be patient - Supercell Will fix the economy

The thing is though.... There didn't have to be anything to 'fix'

Interestingly enough, I have only had a loot problem when high in cups......I see nothing wrong with farming right now (went from 2800 to 1300-1400) Th9 with full Legos some lavas and 15/15 heroes (farming de)

SC will perhaps fix it if they are in offices or maybe they give a damn
They are on fat bonuses vacations till another few weeks, Once back they will ban you for making accusations.

Till then you are free to talk to the wall

G3? What comp? Collector or storage? I'm legitimately dubious of every claim that "loot is fine" when the masses have observed and proven otherwise.

I stopped believing they had rational thinking when the update dropped.

Agreed. Unfortunate, massive, illogical miscalculations.

How are casuals "content" for the whales? Don't whales just gem everything? Or are those the super whales that do that. I feel like casuals are more accurately "content" for the subscription customer. By that I mean those that regularly spend a modest amount on gems on a regular basis to boost, raid more often, and progress much quicker then someone who never uses gems.

I think you are right OP that they will fix this though.

Supercell's business plan for this mistake is to spend a few millions on making ads. This is how they are apologising to us, not by changing anything but by making freakin ads of lava pups...

I think it comes down to Hubris. They believed that they built the #1 game and then could change it how they want and people would adjust.

I think they messed up and worried about a single aspect of the game, the maybe .001% of people who pushed trophies to get in inappropriate leagues. Like others have said, many forum posts were made prior to the update predicting what would happen when they made this change. It's been even worse than that. If you can't attack 8x per day, you're pretty much toast. I'm averaging 12 attacks per day as a new TH9 and having a very difficult time progressing. Mainly because I'm trying to gather elixir and holding maximum elixir so getting crushed.

I think Jonas and others had good intentions but completely missed the boat. They wanted to make it easier to progress and in fact made it very difficult. Beginning of TH9's and TH10's are almost impossible now.

I actually don't have faith. They can't rollback the update because there is too much involved. There is no way under the current rules even if they half storage losses and improve loot bonuses to make the game as it currently stands work for truly casual players. The TH snipe love it or hate it is what made the game accessible to casual players, and that is now gone. Only time will tell how that affects the overall game.

They don't have to roll back the changes to the snipe to fix the game economy. Double or triple the possible league bonuses for all levels and incentivize attacking for bonuses. Or reduce the troop cost by 50%. It's not worth it for most semi active players to push up in leagues but it could be if the reward vs. cost was better.

Apparently they saw something was broken when nobody else did.
