It's still fun enough for me to play. I'm a 'semi serious casual' player, lol, which means I am able to check into the game several times throughout the day and can play for an hour or more on occasion. I have spent under a hundred US funds on gems in the last year and a half but will no longer purchase more, simply because although I like the game I can see how this is an open-ended purchase. I just won't get sucked into the competitive nature of this game by buying gems. If I get routinely pounded or progress extremely slowly, so be it. That said, I don't mind progressing extremely slowly. I am in a strictly social clan, not a war clan, so it doesn't matter.
