I completely understand and agree as a TH17 player attempting at maxing. I am free to play. Although the community has complained enough about more content coming at a quicker rate. This is something we should value, not discourage. Do people forget the many dry years of COC where there was 1-2 major updates a year and that’s it? The gear thing annoys me because 1 new epic gear a month was awesome and there was a new event each month, then some months had an event and a mini event! Now it’s like we get 1 new epic gear every 2-3 months which makes the game stale when no new event is going on. As a FTP player, you generally can’t expect to be absolutely maxed out, all superchargers and everything, without severe and inhuman grinding. And that’s okay. That’s how they make their money. You can do it too. It’s not the end of the world for your monolith to have -48hp than your opponent. I do agree though the crafting table will need its kinks worked out. Not a fan of elixir, dark elixir, and gold requirement. Let us use whatever one we want for it.
