I’ve been playing this game for 8 years and it’s safe to say it’s only gotten worse with updates. It’s an endless loop, where you’ll be placed in battles against opponents who have cards 4 levels higher than your own, towers 2 or 3 levels higher, so you lose, yet to upgrade your cards you either need to spend insane amounts of money, or win battles for rewards (which are never helpful anyway). Upgrading cards has become something that happens once every few months at this point because A) it is rare you ever get cards from chests that you actually need, B) clan members can only donate a very small amount, and C) they took away one of the most helpful features of the game, being trading tokens. That being said, they still exist, but you can’t get them from anything! They MIGHT pop up in store for an IRL fee. But otherwise, there should be MANY more rewards for the $18 battle pass because that’s a rip off in itself, but it’s frustrating how difficult it now is to progress in this game. Not to mention, you lose as many trophies from a lost battle that you would gain from a win. Big loop of +30, -29, +27, -30, etc. Which makes it even harder to progress. Just wish this game didn’t rely on in app purchases, really disappointing. ALSO not to mention this stupid new evolutions thing. If you’re adding something dumb like that, DONT PUT ME AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVOLVED CARDS WHEN I HAVE NONE. Because I’m not paying $20 to evolve ONE card!
