Where to begin...
I have a lowish game budget so it doesn't matter how many more offers you throw at me, there is a limit on how much I can spend. In fact, the more bombarded I feel, the more demotivated I become.
Interference with gameplay as pop ups arrive, frequently causing a freeze, is highly irrittating.
Interference with game actions with half the game screen obliterated by buttons, is also highly irritating. Every time I change screen I have to scroll past the buttons.
Player attacks are prohibitively costly, With the number of defending troops increasing in leaps and bounds it is necessary to send a train of attacks against worthy targets - either that or clobber a lower level player, which has always felt like bullying to me. That aside, tool cost alone is ridiculous - 6 waves at 40ish tools per wave, call it £5 per attack, £10 for a double tap etc. Gift pack and event rewards used to ameliorate costs but with everything now being dependent upon miserly returns on silver horseshoes that is no longer the case.
Reasonable progression used to be possible on a moderate budget but increasingly less so with every update. Scores in every event are completely dominated by booster buys. That's ok up to a point, fair enough if players want to spend money on achieving more, but when it becomes effectively zero progress without significant spending there is not much point in persevering. I can't even buy enough skips with silvers to make a decent score possible.
I am not leaving the game yet, still a few bits and pieces I can use up and the outside chance that the situation will be revised, but the new year could see a turning point.
