Revenge Change and how it affects top players

There’s been a lot of posts about people saying these players should just either suck it up or quit. People need to understand why the cheap shield came into practice in the first place.

If you were to represent the current trophy system on a graph, it would be a logarithmic function. Follow the trend of the graph and you will see that growth eventually slows down and reaches a limit. I'm going to assume that the trophy system is designed like this to allow even the most newest clashers to eventually be at the same point with the clashers who’ve been playing longer.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for those who are aspiring to continue to endlessly rise in cups. Thus, the cheap shield was made. It allowed for top players to continually climb, to push past the limit; it created the competitive edge. So, I understand why the new update has aggravated many top players.

It's expected for the trophy count in the leaderboards to slowly drop down return to less insane figure. However, people are ambitious and with the current system, new ways to 'cheet' will eventually be found by those who wanna climb up even more. I think it’s time for SC to step back and reassess the current trophy system, think about what they can do to make the game playable and cater for all players. Whether it be for the people who love to collect resources, or the people who love high level gameplay (those who love to hunt). A system that allows for competition and fair play that doesn't entice people into 'cheeting'.

Yes it has gone pointless.

It's like spending money to gain very little and lose too much. And yes, cupping involves huge amounts of money.

Yet again this thread has gone bananas. Please keep your posts constructive and free of personal attacks as it would be a shame to have to close it.

You don't have to close every thread when it's being trolled by forumers who clearly has not made efforts to share. Just filter, merge, leave the comments that actually matter. Some people do have points. Would be great if it's heard.

The topic has been discussed to death. Don't see why you had to quote Tinker Bell to bring back this thread. I might as well bring back my TH should no longer give cheap shields thread. :D

2. What supercell is trying to do is creat more opportunity to attack top level players and to have that opportunity be truly random.
3. Pedro lee and others have expressed frustration with the new system unrelated to just revenges and shields. I still don't understand what they are but would like to learn.
4. Remember this game is played by millions and thousands are willing to spend the time and money to be at the top. Clearly most will not be able to make it and will be frustrated with the system. That's just a simple supply and demand reality.
5. It's going to still take gems to be a top player. Because of how much you lose on defense compared to what you can win in a ladder system you must attack many times in each eight hour window. The only way to accomplish this is to speed things up with gems.
6. Lets leave things not germain to high level play out of the thread so we don't lose focus again.

Yeah, exactly what I said. That's exactly what we've been doing the last few days, Over, and over and over.....
There comes a point though, where it just becomes ridiculous

Anyway, I've said my piece, back to the topic please.

I am glad it is gone, at least in concept.

Would a return of the purchasable 7-day shield be helpful to top players? Now that the exploit has been addressed, maybe they should add this back in.

Are all shield purchase options removed at that trophy level or just the 7-day?

Just for the record, it only mattered at 3700+

Theres a super awesome loophole around the high costs. Its called farming.

It should be tough to increase ur trophies to new time high.
If u see dreamzrm he has earned 1 trophy every time and topped the list.
That's what hardworking earns you:1st rank

Then stop cupping?
I do not understand why you complain and complain and then keep sending money and gaining cups.
Also, the fact that dreamzrm has gotten past 4400 is an indicator that you need to change it up. You raged about having been kicked off by the 8 hours break and then getting three starred. If you play that much, you should be able to get higher.
Just thought I'd give my two cents.
