I agree with you. After a couple of months I'm finding the game play one dimensional and upgrades to things like walls and farms too expensive. I'm a top 30 player, but I find that I am playing this game less and less each day. I'm no longer prepared to spend real money on crown purchases. I'm tired of the repetitive rounds of battles with the same few cheating players. Lots of players in my alliance are keeping their medals low because they can't compete with players using 24/7 online hacks, and game exploits giving a huge amount of game resources through 10 farms, 12 trees, 14 caravans, and extra walls etc. It can't be that hard to check? The accounts of players in the top four alliances would be a good place to start. I have spent money on this game, and am dissapointed that the developers have failed to do anything about the cheaters and game exploiters. These players are getting ahead in this game at the expense of honest players. My alliance leader's account has been completely broken for the past month, and Nexon have done nothing about it despite him sending several reports. Why can't they fix one account in a month? Poor form from the developers. Their inaction is killing this game.
