That's it, just lol.

i dont need to be a CEO to understand basic customer satisfaction issues. I agree with your points, and hope that SC will fix. I doubt it, but still hope.

What a joke, if it makes you feel better to disregard the entire post based on that then more power to you friend but as a moderator I would expect more. Get over yourself, and best regards to you and your moderating as well, keep up the good work! Lol

The complete misunderstanding of the scientific method and its application to game development, not understanding why you'd want to coincide something the community would dislike with something that would keep profits incoming rather than separating them, the idea that all of this change outside of TH11 is purely to somehow "stop bots" (you could do the PBT stuff completely separate from shielding items if you'd wanted to, the motivation for this was clearly not just to "stop bots").

Mostly though, as a CEO, the goal is to drive profits. Not one word about that, just complaints about not liking the update basically with some business sounding words thrown in but not really used in the appropriate context.

1. Regarding the method for testing....incremental was his thought. Whether you want to say he doesn't know about the SM or not doesn't change the fact that this wasn't sufficiently tested and it wasn't tested incrementally.

2. In theory, abandoning a portion of your player base is counter-productive to profits. You have no proof that this change will not negatively effect profit margins. Effects from this update won't truly be known for months or even longer.

3. Nearly everything outside of TH11 was designed to stop Bots....even the major YouTubers agree with this. Removal of the shield for TH destruction, increase of TH resource holdings and PBT changes were all designed to stop them.

4. Profits seemed fine. There's an old saying, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." CoC was at the top of the charts in regards to income. You cannot prove that their intentions were to increase profits...that's pure speculation. The simple fact is that they were sitting in a position where $$ was flowing in regularly so they really didn't need to do anything except add new content to ensure that the $$ kept flowing in.

I also find this condescending and unwarranted.

Lol a game development expert. TH11 with the old loot system would not have worked at all. Before the update loot went extremely dry in higher leagues because there have been too few bases to attack. If they did not fix loot in master+ they had to do much more changes like readjusting all costs, making new collector levels for th10+, which would break much more.
Honestly loot is good if you have a bit of attacking skill. I really love the new system.

I dont think they changed anything about the dead bases algorithm. It is just a combination of them moving down in leagues because of th outside and more bases in the queue in gold+ so the algorithm has plenty of active bases to show first. Go to sub 800 and you will find all those dead bases.

The new system works great on offense, but awful for defense and getting loot into the economy. This system hurts the very casual to casual players who did make up a good portion of the game.

Wow, what a great post, and so true!!

2. It isn't about increasing or decreasing profits because you are right, we won't know. A real CEO would understand why you give the sweet with the sour.

3. The major youtubers don't all agree, and even if they did, SC has given clear direction on the reason.

4. Profits seem fine-lol, I don't even know how to rebuke this. Nobody involved in business would ever say or think this. That's stagnation. That's purely a consumer perspective..."you're making enough money corporation, don't try to make more"
