Thanks to carebears!
A lot of players that are part of a carebear are fed up with losing complete army's in a second by a bug. A lot of players are fed up with multiaccounts, and the confession that they will not be banned for it, but will be solved by game mechanics (which will be created/ implemented at an unknown date).
If you attack a castle, win it, and then lose multiple army's in mere seconds due to a bug you kind of get unmotivated if the only official responds to it is "shit happens"
So yea... Some might blaim the carebears for it, others have a different point of view.
