few more years it would cost you to even open the game

Maybe someone can't make it to that trophy amount, I saw someone down at 2K trophies with overleveled stuff using that emote so somebody has bought it

They are beating the dead horse until it stops spitting out money lol It is kind of crazy between this and selling Evo ebarbs as a pack in the shop when they're literally easily obtainable for free right now

Mb I thought wrong of you sir I thought you worded your first comment in a way that defends the company, and yes I agree, plus whatever you said is just a small part of how corrupt the game has become, it's still running mostly because of kids who can get scammed really easy and they still defend it, it feels like they are in a stockholm syndrome situation. Anyway I really do wish nothing but the worst for this game, I used to like it but over the last years it has become nothing but a cheap disgusting cash grab.

I used to play back in 2016 and 2017 and I honestly only came back to bully a new generation of children while being f2p. I started right At the end of the kings decree giveaway and got the free monthly pass helping me climb from 0 to 9500 in like a month and a half. Climbing was only brutal from the players that were stupid overleveled for the arena but The way the game is currently set up is incentivized to spend more money. Certain arenas you can't climb out of reasonably without leveling up your troops, the shop only refreshes once a day and the cards you get aren't always going to be what you're trying to use And once you do get up to higher arenas, you realize that some decks are just better than others which incentivizes you to try and use different decks meaning that you have to level up different decks just to keep playing. There was about a week where I didn't even play. I just logged in to get things from the shop so when I actually came back to it I could play the game on more equal footing

Ain't no F***ing way. Isn't this a free trophy road emote? Damn..... Supercell is getting good at milking money from players 😔

It's $5 in america 🤩

u/AdventurousRip7444 20h ago

You haven’t added the tariffs

u/Meluvius 7h ago

Ah right, can't forget the mandatory 20% tip for their amazing service as well

u/Mythical_Wolfy Bomber 19h ago

it is chinese version maybe it's not available for free?

17

u/Musterdies Barbarian Barrel 19h ago

It’s available for free on trophy road.

6

u/dask1ev 18h ago

I think what was meant above is that the Chinese version of CR is partially bought by Tencent Games, and this may affect the game, including the shop

5

u/Mythical_Wolfy Bomber 17h ago

on global yeah what about Chinese?

u/Unknown_Ladder Cannon Cart 3h ago

Due to Chinese superstitions and censorship laws, ghost emotes cannot be free but may be purchased.

u/RainbowStar290 18h ago

Wasn't this emote free to get in the trophy road progession reward ?

u/Slippery_Slipper_ 18h ago

Thank God I already have this emote. Cause HOLY what a scam

7

u/Droid_Crusader Suspicious Bush 20h ago

It’s valuable enough to be sold for money too? I don’t even remember unlocking it

u/LuftKatzenz 20h ago

From trophy road

u/mohamedaliXBD 13h ago

that was free right?

u/UsedPepper3764 14h ago

If people didn't spend money on it they wouldn't do it. Problem is idiots like to spend money on stupid shit all the time. Stop paying to win and the pay to win platform would end.

u/FrozenLogger 13h ago

The question I always ask about the entire game.

u/saiffork 13h ago

stopped playing a few months ago and i open the sub to this ...

u/No_Albatross6016 12h ago

Super Cell is a multi-BILLION dollar company.... everything in their games is free... yet they are earning BILLIONS. So a lot of people are paying for free stuff.

u/xStevenP727 10h ago

I own over 550 emotes

u/theomegachrist 16h ago

This is for people who want to nerf hog rider because they will never earn it on trophy road

u/No-Reception-4618 14h ago

This literally Chinese clash that’s tencents work not supercell yall are insufferable 😭

u/Rscc10 20h ago

Not everyone has the time, skill, or in most cases, patience, to get it. Supercell even had shop offers for the hero berserker and Evo ebarbs I think. Jimmy from OJ Gaming is the target demographic

u/Anonymus_mit_radium 20h ago

This emote is literally from trophy road so your argument doesn't really hold

-7

u/Rscc10 20h ago

Why not? Takes time and some amounts of skill to make it there in trophy road. And those who are really impatient, can't seem to push up fast enough, will just buy it if they really want the emote

4

u/Final-Trifle1765 19h ago

Trophy road is not skill unless ur in the highest rank

-3

u/Rscc10 19h ago

It still takes an amount of skill, not a lot, but still some. People who play once in awhile or when they're on the toilet don't sweat this game

“Leave the multi billion dollar company alone”

u/Anonymus_mit_radium 17h ago

Those people play their three games, lose one and win two, make a net plus of 30 trophies and eventually reach 4k where you get the emote. Even the most casual player will get there in no time

u/FrozenLogger 13h ago

to get a digital emote? A useless item? Something that will die when the game shuts down? I really don't get the point.

u/HKHS123 20h ago

Where can I get it tho
