I’m a long term player (6 years) and supercell are just cash grabbing as Clash Royale has become over loaded with unnecessary Gimmicks. The original game play has not changed, it was an awesome platform, now we have banners, crowns etc that add nothing to gameplay but takes time away from leveling up. With level 15 cards on the way it seems to me Supercell have lost their way with this one.
I think the adage, Keep it Simple Supercell (Stupid = Supercell) is appropriate here as the game has lost its charm. Pass Royale now has two levels, you get less bang for your buck and players are leaving in droves. Our clan is smashing every week, we are not being challenged unlike in the past. New quality recruits are few and far between.
I think the game is in a shamble as it has been overloaded with crap and we as users are expected to pay for this indulgence by Supercell, i will be signing out from this game as I feel that Supercell are not doing enough for the gameplay to justify increasing costs. I suspect numbers have dwindled and now they expect the remaining few to bankroll a game that has lost its way.
In the latest update the pass makes no sense, book of books and magic coin made it worth the spend but i must say the removal of these have killed it for me. I’m going the way of many, this will be my last season because i cannot see any benefits in the recent changes other than cash grabbing! Supercell will no longer receive my funds.
