Don't forget the new achievement. The synergy might give this a nice kick-off.

I really like the new league bonuses, I mean any increase is welcomed, beggers cant be choosers.

One suggestion would be if the attacker loses the battle and obtains no stars, the successful defender should earn the league bonus? After all we should be rewarded for successfully defending an attack especially at tougher levels. As a defender really we have everything to lose and not alot to gain (trophies/shield are only positive), WHERE IS THE DEFENSIVE LOVE!

Being a phisician or a lawyer is less profitable than cocaine growing. Yet a lot of people choose those carriers over the latter
no offence intended, of course I do NOT compare farming to that illegal activity 😀

Bonus needs to be higher and tied to th level and number of stars won so that people are encouraged to upgrade, and can continue to do so while pursuing cups.

Until a th10 makes more gold at 2500 trophies than a th7 at 1200 trophies, i will maintain that the system is still very broken.

Of course it is still less profitable, and of course that's a terrible game flaw, but it's a heck of a lot better than it not bejng profitable at all.

We are not beggars. We are customers. Don't forget that. They aren't "doing something nice for us". They are attempting to boost player retention in the hopes that more players = more gem purchases.

This might quite possibly be the dumbest thing I read on the forums all day. That's saying something too considering it is 10am here and I spend a lot of time in the ideas forum.

No it isn't a lot better. It is slightly better, but pretty close to exactly the same. The majority of the player base that cares about this, is attempting to maximize profit so they can build their base as fast as possible. As long as less trophies and lower townhalls are the profitable way to go, that's what these people will do.

I appreciate that you are shifting your focus, but I can't help but feel as though you're going to bat for the wrong team.

It's still better than it used to be. We can only hope that SC will slowly keep increasing loot bonuses.

If I give you a penny, you are technically richer than you used to be. Is it going to change anything with regard to your life? No.

If the bonuses are not high enough to provide an incentive for trophy hunting, all that matters is what they are at the point where it is possible to maximize profit. That looks likely to still be silver and gold league.

That's because you don't read your own posts

If I give a billionaire a hundred dollars will it change much? No. But if slowly over time that 100 bucks grows bigger and bigger then one day it might just be meaningful, appreciate what you get.
