Members of my alliance are voicing some concerns/frustrations and i’m just wanting to pass them along.
Primary issue is loot gained. Whether it from raids, titans, wars. It seems like the efforts put in aren’t reflected in the loot received and it makes playing frustrating. The time and patience put into the game loses it’s worth. We have members who hit the hardest and have the highest points in wars and yet they gain the worst loot. We feel as though loot won should be on a tiered structure of some sort.
Raids, matches don’t make sense. Players with Team Power in the hundreds lower than yourself win and then to take revenge, you don’t even get half the trophies back that you just lost.
Ascension Items, are lacking in availability. It seems likes it’s impossible to level or ascend our heroes unless we’re willing to pay for items, gems, etc. We feel like there should be a way to trade items within our alliance or even a global shop for members to trade and sell items to one another.
You have some very dedicated and loyal players, but it seems like the practicality of gameplay isn’t worth the time. We put a lot of patience and effort into it and in the end feel like we are left empty handed unless we pay to win.
Just a few things that we feel would make the game worthwhile for us who don’t want to have to shell out money
If you are disillusioned now, just wait until you reach 4000+ team power…
Once you have spent a lot of time, effort and - yes - money to grow your account, to get better heroes, to grow bigger and stronger … once you have done all that, and worked hard on your account (yes, that is hard work, do not dismiss that factor, please) - only THEN will you realize that you will never be good enough. Unless you have one thing that only very few players possess: a special talent for this game.
It takes until you have achieved everything that beginners long for, until you realize that you will never be good enough, because you do not possess this special talent.
Practice, heroes and experience are valuable assets. Yes, they are. But - they do not make up for the lack of this special talent. And they never will.
That is a fact.
A fact that a player does not realize until they are 4000+ team power. I know I did not. Not until then.
To my mind, this is the reason why many high team power players quit the game.
Or why they retire from playing intensively.
As I did.
Because all work and no play is no fun. Especially not if you do not get paid for it.
…
Sure, in the beginning, being able to level up heroes does make a player stronger and that improves the gaming experience. But after a while, you reach a platform. And - like it or not - then, normal people, without that special talent, just have to realize that “You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”. Period.
