Suggestions for changes Supercell should make to make it worth it to go for trophies

You should lower the costs of upgrades to more reasonable numbers or allow people to raid more resources than the amount lost by the other party in the raid. Other ideas that would help people target trophies would be to decrease the size of the gold and elixir storage to one square so that people have the space to guard their town hall as well. As it stands now people are forced to decide between guarding their town hall or their resources and due to the cost of upgrades people are choosing to guard resources. There is no other way to save up 3,000,000 + of resources. As you know once any significant amount is saved up that village is raided non-stop. Another option would be to increase the amount of resources villages can mine significantly either by increasing production of already existing mines and pumps or simply increasing the numbers permitted. If you still want to push people to buy gems you could always add a few days to the time it takes to complete upgrades and allow gem use to speed up that process.

Anyone else have any ideas? Please add them.

I could be wrong but I think the point is that you have to choose between which building to protect and which ones to leave vulnerable. If you village is getting raided non stop it's not just because of the number of resources you have but also that your base looks a soft target. Improve your defenses or layout and you will get attacked less. I save up to 3M without much trouble.

Remember saving beyond 660k of a resources makes your base look as tempting no matter how much more you save.

Exactly my point. The game by design forces everyone to chalk up protecting their town hall once they reach higher levels, unless they purchase gems with cash to upgrade, because otherwise you would never be able to save enough resources for bigger upgrades. I am suggesting a bit more balance between resources and trophies. As it stands now the game only values accruing and protecting resources. There is no benefit to having higher trophy counts while there is a penalty in that you are far more likely to lose a significant amount of resources when attacked. People would be far more inclined to climb rankings if the penalty wasn't so harsh.

For every 10 trophys you gain above say 1500 you earn 5 gems..

The easiest way is to make THs store 50% of your resources.

Interesting idea. Would you also change the loot percentage on the town hall from it's current 100%?

I would certainly be protecting my TH as much as I can if it meant losing 50% of my gold AND elixir. In fact, THs would be the new favorite target of 3 lightning spell attacks...

That is not an incentive, nor does it change anything about the current game that causes people to farm.

50% of nothing is still nothing, which is what you'll have for resources if you focus on trophies. The reason why people farm is it is currently the best and really only way besides gemming to gather resources.

People will go for trophies if resources are available at high levels. Supercell can fix this easily (for example by increasing mine and pump output, or giving a bonus on loot based on trophies, rather than penalties based on TH) but choose not to as their main income is from high level trophy players buying gems to stay at the top.

Simple.

Supercell

1) increase mine and pump outputs
2) provide a resource bonus / incentive based on trophy count

Supposedly trophy incentives are being worked on but the focus will be on maintaining / growing revenue. Hopefully supercell realises customer satisfaction is the key to long term, sustainable growth.

increasing pump/ mine output is the answer to all out problems right now. we just need to be able to get our hands on more resources at a time that doesn't require a 150,000 elixir army and 100,000 gold in searching for a town that will turn up a 10,000 G/E profit.
