Partially, what makes the game F2P friendly are Sneaky Goblins

As an f2p, I am genuinely thankful for the players who spend money in the game because of them we f2p's can keep playing for free.

Tbh, clash of clans has a pretty good balance of free progression and paid acceleration. Hopefully supercell doesn’t get greedy like with clash Royale

what separates it from something like clash royale is you arent forced to fight against those who paid for faster progress. you got mismatched in war or found a base stronger than you in multiplayer? doesnt matter, just attack lower or tap next. not so much the case in clash royale where youre at a disadvantage if you face off against someone with 1-2 higher level cards

well, clash of clans prioritizes giving you players with the same town hall level as you. you can spend lots of money to max a base, sure. but you can’t buy skill. you can have a completely max base and still barely know how to attack. as far as mobile games go, it really is one of the less egregious ones out there, appreciate the content and figured i’d drop my opinion here.

As much as I want to be maxed out faster I do still want to feel something like I worked hard for it, like years and years of progress is like so valuable for me

Coc can't ever be pay to win becuz when you pay for anything in the game you progress faster and meet opponents at that higher level which are "usually" your strength so paying only decreases the time needed to progress

Its honestly really nice they added the gem mine and make it so obstacles are respawned. Imagine if clash royale had it...

Whenever I watch your videos I get a bit a whiplash getting to watch high quality content from such a small creator. Much love

It isn’t p2w It is pay to progress

Actualy i got max th15 without spending any money but the problem is it takes exactly almost 2 year to reach any new townhall like th15..

If you dont care about having the latest townhall level, then it is pretty much free to play.

Clash's greatest strength in my mind, cant be pay to win in any stretch of the imagination. You can choose who to attack, and those who pay do so to just accelerate their village strength, which just puts you higher in the matchmaking, resulting in no-one being disadvantaged by you whipping out your wallet. Gems and magic items are more like a convenience than a power, you pay to not have to wait so long and so on. I spend some money on the game and its just for convenience, i find fun in being a top donator and i need 1 gem donations to be the fastest donation slinger on this side of the forest. All items can be gotten for free if you put in the effort and its not unfair.

Wow, great information I am not expect that much quality content form such a small chanal😮 Keep Researching and make that much quality content you can achieve a lot❤ Love form Gujarat❤

I’ve happily been free to play for the past two years. I’ve always thought the game was F2P friendly but with the announcement of Th16 coming about 6 months early, I’m definitely worried about the game’s future. If they keep adding new th’s early, I don’t think players like me will be able to keep up

in clash of clans with the pass you get alot of loot that will be lost if your base is attacked and the the more loot in your storage then more of it can be taken by lower level players

F2p here, and it's been about 3 years or so since I started my last base, and im just getting into th13. Definitely possible to play for free, but it can take quite some time. Especially if you're maxing everything out, and had to go thru the old 6th builder journey

Hopefully supercell doesn’t get greedy and ruin clash of clans like they did with clash Royale

The game was never P2W to begin with. A rushed base might have access to stronger troops, but said base will always have weaker defenses, weaker troops, and poorly leveled heroes.

it's pay to progress faster, not pay to win.. because even if you pay to max out your village doesn't mean you win.. because you gonna match up to other who has the same village power as you most of the time...and paying doesn't make you a good attacker.

compared to other supercell games, coc is pay to PROGRESS, not P2W. anyone can max out town hall 15, it will just take less time for the spenders. and i would not consider that P2W.

the best thing about clash of clans is that you play it at your own pace, trophies are essentially non existent unless you want the league rewards or if you wanna be at the top- you can be as high of a townhall you want with low trophies and its alright cuz ur just farming

it does takes a long time, but damn I'm stunned about how fast you can progress the game by just... being very dedicated and active. If only i had this consistency I wpuld have been a maxed player long time ago i know it, but in a year i tend to play just 4-5 months overall then i quit for a while and play other games, so i'm only at th12

im only th12 after nearly a decade of not spending a single penny and playing extremely casually, but tbh i kinda like how its like that. i am kinda sad i miss out on some cool cosmetic stuff, but every now and then i can get cool hero skins. like the cookie king skin

Tbis isnt even a debate in my eyes. I've been playing Clash of Clans on and off for ~8 years. Took latger breaks here and there, uninstallled the gane sometimes (but kept my account) and recently came back (TH13 btw). Never felt like this game is P2W. Sure, you gotta grind to collect resources to upgradr your buildings. But theres so many ways to get loot for free: Challlenges, Clan games, clan wars, (sneaky) goblins spam attacks etc etc. Its a super F2P game in my eyes. And I love it.

I think it is because it matches you with people of similar progress levels (i think)

Clash of clans you can pay to save time, nothing you buy necessarily gives you a strong enough advantage that prevents you from losing or allows you to win

As a f2p i bearly play the game and a have 5 builders and a recently startred th10

I don't get the idea of it being p2w. I mean even if you pay the money to quickly max out, you are actually losing. There's nothing for you to do when you max out

COC is type of game that if you spend little you will get significant advantage of progressing but if you spend beyond that the advantage become less significant and pricier

1:26 Clan war league medals are the hardest to get

You get enough gems mostly from the mine, selling magic items, obsticles, clan games, and challenges to get like a book of heros

The hero equipment definitely make is pay to win. You get so much less those ores compared to the uses

In my opinion, the game isnt really P2W at all, as in paying doesnt give you an advantage over others. The only exception for this is when a new Town Hall gets released, aas you can pay to max out first before the others. But for every other Town Hall, you will be matched with others around you. And even if you find someone much higher than you, just skip that base. For war, you cant skip them. But the game matches your clan against another based on war weight. So it wont be too unbalanced. Clan war leauge and Legend Leauge are different. You have to face who you are against. For leauge, if its too hard, your just too high in leauge, too weak. Legend leauge, thats ment for those who are among the highest. the end there is kinda off topic, but just trying to say you mostly got control on who you go against. with how the game matches and stuff, you can progress well. Have fun with the Hammer Jam event! *it starts soon*

There is another way to get gems it is the clan games sometimes you get options to choose 30 50 or even 100 gems

I have been an f2p for years. Now that i can afford it i sometimes buy something (gold pass or 10x value offers) to support Supercell and my favourite content creators.❤

The only thing i have paid for is the fifth builder pack just to be able to progress faster.

I personally think that the best thinh in Clash of Clans is enjoying the progression of the game and not getting maxed out as once you do what do you do?

I've been free to play since I started, and this is one of the only games where I've done that. I'm quite proud of myself and want to stand by it. All my friends have bought the pass in the past, because it truly is such amazing value, and adds more to the game in the form of missions, which sometimes doesn't feel worth it for the free to play path. Most of my friends started before me but are now ahead, not that I play the games a ton, and most of them don't anymore, but even with the updates to boost lower level players into higher THs, I doubt I'll ever reach the newest ones at any given time, Infect I keep falling behind, which yes has to do with how little I play, but the rate of ftp vs ptw in terms of progression is so drastically different. Also, I wouldn't mind spending money of some of the skins, I hope they all one day become available with gems, but the ones I want specifically cost money. Am I still considered ftp if I buy these cosmetics?

you can't buy skill, at the higher levels, calculated well executed attacks are what win wars. sure you might be able to steam roll a rushed base and/or a fresh th but to consistently get 3* comes from experience and game knowledge.

Clash Of Clans is the one piece version of game where you build your base, make it stronger and enjoy the adventure.

Genuine skill is absolutely necessary..its extremely easy to make a mistake and fail..paying doesn't give you skill..its completely based off of how well you plan / how well your army is adapted for different bases ..you can buy power but without skill its useless because attacking down diminishes your available loot..gotta attack a player thats roughly the same lvl so rushing th before troops can put you at a real disadvantage...simple armies like barch can net you tons of loot if you search for "dead" bases ....its not so great if all you want to do is collect..its meant to be played..

yes it is, half maxed th11 in little over a year. most ive spent is $3 max and that's bc i was impatient af on troop upgrade times 😂

The ONE thing that makes COC far more balanced than a game like clash royale is the fact that it has level caps based on the TH level, someone can be in arena 4 in clash royale and have maxed out king tower in cards and still face low lvl opponents. Not in COC, no matter how fast and far you go, you will ALWAYS face someone more or less equal to you, it is very rare for someone with a th10 to face th8 or th12, they only face 9,10 and 11's, and really they found a nice balance with the troops, no troop of any level in any town hall level is inherently overpowered, strong? Yes, broken? Hell No

Supercell has got one of the worst and unfair pricing policy. For all those Americans saying 6.99 dollars cheap, 7 dollars converted today into Indian rupees is 583.20 and the gold pass costs 599 rupees which is so huge that only elites can purchase in india. The per capita income of Americans stand at around 70k whereas the per capita income of Indians are just 7k. Average monthly salary here is 10k rupees and 600 rupees is outright crazy 6% of my income. I don't understand how a big company like them failed to understand the basic the economics and just used calculators to decide price. For example Netflix subscription starts at around 10 dollars in America and it starts at around 200 rupees in India because that is the affordable value based on our purchasing power. I hoping for someone to bring this issue but sadly none seems to care in india as not many actively play coc and hence they don't simply care about it.

Yes, I am in town of 12 and I’m f2P although it is starting to get hard to get resources

it is for me it took my so far 4 years to get to TH9 and im almost maxed out on TH9 and i have not spent a single penny on the game

Pay to Progress > Pay to win

Hey today I unlocked my 5th builder. My th is 11. All you need is patience.

Disfuntional: some hero skins need actually money Me: checks the hero skin list and sees that they all cost gems.

Truly free to play stuff exists only in pirating sites and it's really hard to pirate an online multiplayer game.

You forget to mention we can earn gems from clan games and also selling our book and poton etc

its free and no words to argue about!

As long as hero gear dosent get p2w, CoC is very f2p friendly

Been casually playing f2p for 5 years now. On average maybe 3 attacks a day so really not much. (First year definitely more) Last 2 years always managed to max buildings and troops before a new th level was released, but never all walls. Good enough for me.

Great vid

Time is money - 🗿🍷

Its doable..it depends on you not what the game provides...you pay if you want or are impatient..

the way he says elixir is about to damage me

Where are u from? Bcs u have an interesting accent

Bro I got a coc ad THE MOMENT I PRESSED THIS VIDEO WTH 😂

In my opinion its just „pay to progress faster“ - and thats totally okay for me. I pay the 7€ for the season pass when i play (i am pretty inactive…)

I play full Free to play CoC. Same goes for Xbox & PlayStation I’ll buy a game but no add ones or even dlc

For me 80% is f2p and 20% p2w. Buying things from the store are just skins and things to improve your village fast, townhall 11 is where things gets alot of expensive.

If I ever pay for something in Clash of clans, it’s going to be a skin.

If you decided to pay to fast forward your base progress that's on you. However I feel a person who fast-forwards themselves to higher town halls may not spend as much time as a F2P player attacking and learning different army's and strategies. If I where to have a Fully maxed out th16 right now , with my TH12 level attack knowledge I would be lost. Money can't buy experience

never spent money on coc game just pure grind

Its pay to progress not pay to win. Cause you win or loose attacks by skill. And being higher level also face higher opponents, also if someone progress very fast, he might be less skilled on that part.

In th17 and th18 i think the game gonna be so hard to play f2p especially when u in lower th like 9 10 u gonna play 4-5 years and cant max anything and when u trying to max theres new th coming every year ,, the game become slowly p2p

1:30 as i am a sigma male i got 5 builders in th 9 and quit CoC it was not about the gems it was about sending a message

I ll say it can go both ways,if you wanna go higher in trophies,def pay2win since heroes are 90% of the attacks in higher thls,but if you playing for fun,then no

As far im townhall 12 without ever spending money, i think being a free2play player isnt bad and youll probanly have longer fun than pay2win players

Compared to clash royale yeah CoC is f2p friendly, There's better game balance with troops and even with powerful ones like e drags you can't get them early on or speed level them to the max level without first upgrading g your town hall unlike how crusher21 showed in some of his vids how you can get the wizard in arena one of clash royale by spending money wheras f2p have to get higher in arena And like I said in another comment so long as hero gear don't become p2w like evolutions or lvl15 in clash royale CoC is probably one of the most f2p friendly games as even pass skins ALWAYS come back in the shop

Nice vid

It's amazing how you said the same sentence dozens of different ways for 10 minutes straight

I’m free too play just got builder 5 almost max th10 I don’t necessarily think CoC Is pay too win because they allow you to obtain everything through gameplay clash is definitely one of the greatest mobile games ever you can grind an hour or two of attacking get an upgrade then hop off

It's definitely F2P, it's just P2S (pay to skip) And there's only one difference between f2p and p2s is the progress, so that's technically not p2w, since every f2p players can obtain what a p2w player can [except specific decorations and skins (even tho f2p players can also get skins for free)] And I'm a th 12 max as a f2p player, and I feel no difference (except the progress as I said ofcourse)

Imho CoC is a Pay-to-Skip game, but not Pay-to-Win

It might be free to play but that gold pass helps a lot

This guy need his own creator code

If you don't pay in clash royale and you get fawked every match you play but that's not the case in coc

CoC is pay to progress not pay to win by any means. You can buy your way to th16 though but you cant buy the skill required for th16

War robots is pretty corrupt, but there is one thing that WR does better on Black Friday, purchasing from the shop the black Friday deals go from actual cash to IN GAME CURRENCY. 20,000 keys for 300 gold??? YES!

With how clash of clans works I don't think supercell could ever make the game pay to win unless if they change the games core aspects

No is pay to win but farm 4 years get town hall 1. To 10 or 8 …. By the way when max 5 builder and wait game upgrade in

Clash of clans being p2w is tecnically the default formula for a base strategy game, pay features to progress faster, or just show off your unique hero skins Even if they added a diamond pass there wouldn’t have a boycott, as the playerbase will already be used to these types of stuff, most of them have seen it from other games as well, it wouldn’t be a hype either, as we all know it’s just progression game What happened to clash royale is that the diamond pass firstly gave a massive buff to p2w players when it’s formula is not having too much p2w content, which made the game unbalanced, it still is, CR devs aren’t evem giving a 💩 to what’s going on, the mess is non reversable

I love how lots of player bitching about it takes to long to upgrade etc. Its FREE TO PLAY not FREE TO MAX LOL

Money doesn’t buy skill

Its literally f2p and p2w pay to win just means you can pay for advantage while a game can be f2p and not p2w most of the time they are both.

I dont even look at the offers lol

F2p: Pay to win!!!! P2p: free to play.

It's pay-to-win period 💯

if the deals were better i might be tempted but "spend 5$ to skip 1 day" in a game that takes 5 years is such bad value

I really have to say that coc has a great balance of f2p and p2w

As an almost maxed out TH 13 who is free to play it really isn’t that hard to not pay moneh

Max th15 is defenseless. There is no reason why a max base should get wrecked so often in legends

Clash of clans is entirely free to play because there is no gameplay locked behind paying. There is nothing you can't get if you wait long enough. Nor are the wait times unreasonable: it's not like you can only use super troops once a year, or clan games only come around once every 6 months. Whether it is pay to win or not is a grey area that depends on your definition. In order to stay at the top of the trophy leaderboards, you have to be attacking almost constantly, and that is only possible if you are constantly paying for instant army training. So yes, in order to "win" you have to pay. If all you care about is reaching legends league or maxing out your base, then no, paying won't give you an advantage. The only difference between a f2p account and a whale at the same town hall level is how old the account is. I would say the most p2w feature in CoC is troop donations (giving players access to troops that the bases they face won't be equipped to face), but even then the donated troops are limited by CC size (preventing things like an electro dragon vs a TH6 base), limits troop level depending on your level, and isn't even a system you have to pay for in the first place. In second place I would say power, hero and super troop potions, but 2 of these don't let you go higher than what you would normally be able to get, and the other can't even be used until you unlock super troops, meaning it also doesn't give you access to something you would normally get.

I think the saying is free to play, pay to progress (in a faster/ more waitable time) also i think the main f2p audience is just kids, ppl in countries where there money isnt a valid currency so they have to get usd or whatever other currency and they cant be frivalous with it and use it on a mobile game. I think by now most people either get like a giftcard for apple of google and put like 50 bucks on it and just buy the gold pass for months. Or youre a 20 something year old with a card and use 5 bucks every month since you might have a part time job. Thats def the main way supercell is getting the revenue. Not the fontent creators or handful of cash cows that ll dump 500 bucks in the game through the course of a month

love you daddy dis😩😫

In the case of coc, it is coc if it is not f2p
