Please make more statistics available.

In particular, stats about donations and a player's donation history as well as competitive stats (e.g., highest trophy count ever attained).

I know this has been requested before in various ways, but I would like to add an optional twist to how SC could feed the statistics to us: Their website.

The idea:
Since clan names and player names are not unique, a search function would be difficult- but no less difficult than what is in the game already.

When you look up a player profile or a clan profile, it is nearly no different than how that would work in the game now (i.e., you can click "i" to see their profile). However, on the website you get much more detailed information (how many troops donated of each type, highest trophy count ever, etc.) Pretty much everything Mastermind listed in (http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...Pictures%21%29)

They would have to build a whole website around this...sounds very impractical. Also why would they make something where you have to leave the game in order to actually view it? They would also have to keep far more statistics that now...individual troop donation types...not happening.

The other stats you mention are there. For example trophies and donations. Just look at the appropriate achievement in their profile. It keeps tracking even after the achievement is complete.

The stat measuring donations right now is very coarse. I was envisioning a more refined measure that differentiated troop types donated, not an aggregate count.

I only mentioned the website as an alternative to posting it in-game. My reasoning around all of this is as follows:

1. putting a whole bunch of numbers into the interface may make it seem cluttered or, at least, daunting to the casual player.
2. computing those values while the app is open and updating all of that could slow down the interface.
3. i assume it would not be too hard for their servers to keep track of these more detailed numbers (as I am sure they are tracking a lot of their own internal statistics)
4. i figure for the player base that is interested in statistics (e.g., me and quite a few of the forum base), they would not mind getting a hold of those numbers by any means necessary- even if that means going to the internet and not in the game.

So given those 4 assumptions, it seemed like a possible way for players like me to get access to more in-depth stats (while compromising neither an easy-to-understand interface nor speed of the game).

1. Probably.
2. Possibly.
3. Maybe they are or aren't. Tracking how many of each type of troop gets donated is not something I'd expect to be honest.
4. The statistics that would be really interesting I seriously doubt they would release. For example I'd love to know the average number of players in each league, the number of active bases vs. active ones, the average amount of loot that players have stored, etc.

Setting up a website for it though would be pretty extreme. It would require additional infrastructure, development costs, maintenance, etc...If they did have a stat server, I'm thinking it would have to be on a subscription basis.
