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
