They are no use to new players either though as they are priced too high and buying one would reduce your chances of getting one of the newer better versions.
The issue is the way the scales have gradually changed from:
Being able to get everything in a week with little effort.
Being able to get everything during the event with little effort.
Being able to get everything during the event with tons of effort.
Being able to get almost everything during the event with tons of effort.
Being able to get some of whats on offer with tons of effort.
Being able to get little of whats on offer with tons of effort.
and eventually it will become
Only managing to get one thing with tons of effort.
Not managing to get anything useful no matter how much effort.
They should be reducing the prices on older stuff which is not useful anymore, things like watermills/silos/200 generals/vet generals, but with the way the floating residence price was increased despite a newer floating residence being added is a sign they might be planning to hike the prices on everything.
It's up to the developers how they want to run the game, but a lot of the player base has likely stuck around due to this not being one of those pay to win games, up until recently everything was attainable with effort without having to buy huge amounts of gems.
