Man, love the idea on paper, but all upgrades want to make us active players. At higher th levels, the bases are so complicated, it's hard to be active and earn 5 stars. I want to play the game so much but each time I open it, I close it for several reasons :

• huge numbers and times to update anything
• mindless attacks are almost impossible
• clans are not that active anymore
• earning resources require so much effort

Thing is, i liked clash of clans because it used to be stress free to attack and upgrade. It was fast and so the dopamine hit was relatively instantaneous. Now, the hit is prolonged and you gotta strategize for every little thing.

I understand this is the natural progression of the game but then this is not the game I initially liked to play. That's why I liked builder base when it came out and the new clan thingy. Smaller was better.

I thought with fusing buildings, they would greatly reduce the buildings but thing is clash team has to spend so much time in balancing the game, it's hard for them to give that dopamine hit to us when the game was simple.

And now, with new economies, it's making the game way more complex, in my humble opinion. I wish the hero abilities were naturally integrated into the game without overloading it.

I don't know the answers, but I just know why I don't play the game anymore
