What do you mean?  You basically killed the game for 99.9% of the players.

With your bubdate A level 29 now can reduce the total stats of every player with 98.4%.  It means they are at least 10 times as strong as a level 28 and even stronger in ridiculous proportions with lower levels.  We all already have seen the hits where players lose over a billion of influence while being attacked by a millionaire with 100k T1's.

This in turn renders every other aspect of the game completely useless.  It means basically that unless you are now a level 29   following things aren't of any importance anymore:

- knowledge

- hunting invaders

- gems

- gear

- hero setups

- training troops

The gap in the future will also only grow bigger with the remaining knowledge on hero/...

Plarium had a good chance to keep this game going by making it more attractive for the middle man and give them an incentive to fight.  WIth this update you accomplished the exact opposite.  It only will mean even more shielding, and less fighting.

Since a lot of players are playing this game just because of that fighting aspect, this update will lose you much of your playerbase.  Social media is exploding and many are already quitting.

As a level 26 with a measly 680 M influence I also will decrease my spending because of aformentioned reasons.  If I'm getting too bored, I will have alternatives enough which can provide me with more fun, I will definately make the switch.  I will make in that case sure it isn't a Plarium game :).

Just my 2 cents
