Gratuitous carnage - if you have deep pockets – Clash of Clans Review

Finally feels futile... Fun game with offense and defense. Fun base building, with strategic army planning. As of Feb 2018 I have reduced my rating to 2 star. At town hall ten it’s almost impossible to progress farther without spending hundreds of dollars. It’s not the base levels that really bug me, but not having the army strength to successfully attack higher level bases unless you upgrade to the only units that can. YOU CAN ONLY WATCH THE SAME 3 ATTACKS/DEFENSES OVER AND OVER SO MANY TIMES. When you want to upgrade, everything has a timer. Why??? 8 -10 days you your barracks go to half production. Unless you spend gems. Higher your royalty the longer their refresh timers. Unless you spend gems. I just finished 270 attack wins, I was able to upgrade about 10 walls from lvl 9 to 10 (LEGO to the yellow ones, 20 million gold roughly or two buildings 1 level each ). At that rate I’ll never get top tier just by playing alone and I’ve been gemming my royalty/army/spell timers, maybe 20 bucks worth. Probably spent close to $4000 on the game (upper level players are ALL gemmers). Messaged customer support for a second name change and they wouldn’t do it. Supercell made 2.1 billion in 2016 and they can’t be bothered for a name change. In summary, I find Clash of Clans to now be boring. Supercell seems to be greedy developers who are not out as much to make a great game, but to get the cash from you pockets. Unless you’re rich and are addicted to the serotonin release of a timer pop. SimCity buildit is still fun, haven’t spent a penny, well maybe 10 bucks.
