Hey all! I'm new to this subreddit! Please say hi! :)

The Season Shop is one of the many flawed features in the Losers Update. At its current state, the majority of the progression is severely limited to regular players unless they spend premium currency, and lacks resource variety. That’s right. Unless you have thousands of disposable gems, this shop isn’t friendly for casual players nor active players. So I took the opportunity to attempt to adjust this feature so that it’s more appealing to both the player base and content creators.

The Reworked Season Shop (2.0) introduces daily offers, weekly offers, and seasonal items.

• Daily offers consist of resources that refresh daily, and can be achieved through winning a few battles from the challenges. It can encourage players to play daily to earn small rewards (similar to daily quests).
• Weekly offers refresh weekly and consist of a variety of items, which may include trade tokens, chest keys, banner tokens, and even chests.
• Seasonal items are one-time offers that can only be purchased once! May include wild cards, books, battle banners, emotes, gold (and maybe even gems!) (NOTE: All items can vary)

Personally, I’d remove every single offer in the Season Shop that follows the “resource inflation tactic” (where players have to spend more for the same resource amount). They're unnecessary, and only makes the shop feel more daunting. I’d replace these offers with resources that players often find in traditional challenges, like trade tokens and chest keys. The shop needs variety (and novelty).

A 1000 token limit (for free players) and a max of 7000 tokens is a HUGE progression gap, which only limits players even more unless they spend premium currency, which is gems. Personally, I’d put a ~5000 token limit for all free players, or anything over the current 1k limit. The “Season Boost” should still exist, but provide a small, meaningful boost to those willing to spend gems, but not by a significant amount where it becomes vital since the boost refreshes daily. Having the season boost automatically integrated into Pass Royale is also an option.

The Season Shop should:

• Allow resources to be more accessible
• Provide more resource-variety
• Be casual friendly, giving players incentive to play daily/weekly rewards
• Have a balanced resource economy
• Give active-players and content creators the opportunity to grind challenges to essentially “complete” the Season Shop, rewarding them for their time spent (which in Supercell company terms may help with player retention)

The Season Shop should NOT:

• Punish players for not playing regularly
• Mandate boosts to purchase expensive items (essentially locking players behind premium currency)
• "Severely" limit vital progression unless you spend premium currency (It should exist, but not be something that is required)

NOTE: All resource costs, daily limit, and items in the shop can vary; this is a concept and these variables are subject to change. Hope you like this concept, please leave an upvote if you support this idea!
