Yeah, and by the time you get to TH8 or TH9, the balance of the game would be (or should be) fine toned enough to still be workable for you.
The new players that now join won't get hit with the unintuitive junk that earlier people had to face. Which is good, because I bet quite a few people that played and then left after awhile was due to the confusing gameplay, or some other flaw that the chronic problems caused. I mean, those abandoned bases had to come from somewhere, right? Not saying all of them were a result of it, but I could see a large majority of them getting tired of the mess.
Only question I have now is, what will the new 'problems' be? No game system is really perfect assuming a good definition of perfect can be made. Not saying that I wish there were new flaws, but I feel it is inevitable for yet another issue to pop up. And I wonder if we'd get so used to it, it becomes normal like TH Snipping was.
