Wow! People in this game don't know how good they have it!

I am amazed at how toxic people are towards the developers and community managers who are only trying to help. I have seen this pattern before and it will quickly lead to an information shutdown on the forums.
I have played Clash of Clans for almost 3 years and have been active on there forums the whole time. Clash of Clans has been top grossing app since mobile games learned how to make money.
In the beginning they had active community managers on the forums who communicated with the players everyday just like in this game. However, as time went by the forums became more and more toxic and a lynch mob formed anytime they posted anything. After a while they realized the forums make up a tiny percent of their player base and it was not worth their hastle.
Their forums still run but the community managers stopped being active months ago. They don't need to be because the game still makes money with or without the forums. This game is doing quite well and my guess is it will continue to do so for a while.
We have a good thing going because the community managers are very active and very responsive. It makes our game play better because we are the ones that crave information. If people make it too painful for them to post they will stop. This game, just like clash of clans, can function fine without any developer input on the forums.
If people want to have an inside track to info and want the community managers to keep giving us that info, it would be wise to tone down the toxicity. I like this game and the forums and would like to see them continue for a while.

Unfortunately, when ever a certain change is done to the game that makes the player feel like it's unfair. They IMMEDIATELY assume the developers are corrupt, evil, snarky leeches who want nothing but our money. People instantaneously go bezerk and just go off making false accusations about the creators. It's bad, and it's done in almost every forum. Have you seen the forums for Clash of Clans? After the most recent update, all the top threads are nothing but toxic. People need to realize that although game companies do want to make money from their game, they also want to put out great content to keep people wanting to play. They want their player base to LIKE them. Why would they risk tarnishing their image?
I've been on many forums over the years and this is the most toxic forum I have been on by far, there's no need for it all
I agree and I am on the Clash of Clans forums every day and have been for over 2 years. Those forums have become worthless because the community managers and mods and worthwhile contributors stopped contributing as a result of the toxicity.
I started this game a few days after global release and really like it. One of my favorite parts is that we still have direct access to the community managers and developers on these forums.
My point is this is a top 20 game. They don't need to be active on the forums to make their money because the forums are a tiny part of their player base. I like that they are active and don't want them to stop posting because they get attacked every time they pass on a message. That is what happened in **** and it would be ashame if it happens here.
Eventhough I have never play clash of clan, I agree with you for some extent.
I think this forum used to be opinion exchange rather than anger releasing forum.
Imop, the main complaint is about some change in update.
But it's not that crime
People do sth wrong, Company do sth wrong that's it
Swearing word, emotional harass word, and all we did will not lead to change.
it make them people less and less!
You don't want to talk with people who always throw swearing word withyou, right?
How about making a bit more constructive suggestion in one thread, pinned it at top and move on?
P.S. Sorry for my poor grammar.
Cheers

entitlement millenials, mostly from what i experience day to day (my sister being of them...sooooooo annoying haha)
No thanks, im entitled to my own opinion. Don't like it ignore anything I may post. I Could care less about anything you have to say.
If you have a sister of comparable age, it's somewhat likely you are included in the broader definitions of what makes someone considered to be a "millenial". I think it's more that people who are naturally immature, pointlessly argumentative and feeble-minded are more likely to feel wrongfully and needlessly entitled to being treated a certain way, especially online. Generalizing such behavior and attitudes to a certain age group or generation doesn't quite capture the larger demographic that encapsulates such qualities.
This! You're my hero!
Keep it up devs and @EA_Jessie! I'm loving the game and I appreciate everything you guys are doing
But in before people blames the whales.
I like the game. And I like that the devs are trying to engage with us.
Mirrored right back at you @EA_Jesse and co.
It's a freaking mobile game. The amount of money they expect you to invest is absurd and with each update it becomes worse. I honestly don't know how you don't expect negative feedback.
Now there is no reason to be abusive to nasty to anyone. But to simply express displeasure that a character you invested money in is now 1/2 as good, or to say it is now going to take 10x longer to level up a character, is what feedback forums are for.
