Mitigating trophies dump

You wake up in the morning to find a big/huge pile of trophies on that nice front lawn. You ask around and some of the archers do mention that during your absence, few heroes from various other clans came by for a very short [2-3 seconds] visit and left behind a bunch of trophies. each. congratulations, you're on a higher league now... and good luck on your next battle.

Simply put - I suggest that battles which are too short or include too few troops will not warrant trophies changing hands. The proper formula will take into account the total of troops-weight used by the attacker and the total time spend attacking. A result under certain threshold means the battle was not really a battle, there was no effort in "defending" and so trophies shouldn't change hands.

If in doubt, start with the common scenario of one or more heroes, "attacking" for no more than 2-3 seconds, then ending the battle.

This, in my opinion, will greatly mitigate the bad habit of dumping ones possessions on their neighbors lawn.

Part of the appeal of clash is the flexibility to stay where you want trophy wise to farm or to push higher if you choose. There’s no need to change the mechanics of the game because you’re fussy about your lawn.

Clearly if you’re upset about being pushed into a higher league you have trophy range you like to stay in right? And surely with you’re point of view you don’t go dump those unwanted trophies on others?

SC might like it but I sure don't. If I want to drop trophies, which is rare on some of my bases and common on others, I want to be able to do it.

I do kind of wonder what SC thinks about it though. It is the only game that I have played where losing is a good strategy. Well, minus illegal game fixing in professional sports. :P

One other thought OP, you're in a league that is low enough for your level that this happens a lot. How did you get so low? :) You have been dropping trophies?

@StormHeart I don't see your last comment as funny and take this rather seriously.

to answer your questions:
I got to the level I got mainly through farming and over many years. let's just say I'm not a young player, I don't have much time to play and am not very good at battles. I enjoy building my village and occasionally trying to win a battle, which is rather difficult when I'm in a league high above my abilities.
Being pushed to higher league not only prevents me from going to battles against people with similar level of skill, it also means that most attackers are kicking my *** and walking away with everything I farmed.
The game mechanics were originally built to avoid such occurrences because over time, losing in these kind of attacks should have put me in a lower league, but it doesn't work when other players "play to lose".
Life isn't fair - games can be better.

There’s no need to penalize active players who want maintain a steady trophy range. The game doesn’t need to be tailored to players that aren’t that active. Trophy dropping may be a big deal in your eyes but in the scope of the overall game it’s a minor inconvenience.

I agree. It’s just not a big deal. If you are being pushed up it trophies while you are offline, spend 5 minuets dropping down to where you are comfortable playing. I fail to see the problem here.

@monoxide It would have been ok if the method you suggest for maintaining a steady trophy range wasn't on my expense, as well as many other players like me. This is a loophole in the game mechanics and we all know it. If it's so important to you to lower your trophy level, by all means do so by spending the time and the troops on each losing battle.
It doesn't make sense to leave it so easy for you to get what you want on other players' expense. It is a great game and we are all entitled to enjoy it. Trophy dumping is a sort of bulling which shouldn't be rationalized or accepted. All I'm saying is that "playing to lose" shouldn't be so easy. Frankly, I don't mind that the attacker will lose his trophies in a 2-seconds-battle, as long as the defender doesn't get them.

I know you elaborated a bit in your first post, but you can't seriously make a fuss about spending 2~5 minutes more in a game? You only have to drop your AQ or BK, press the ability (for keeping them healthy) and quit. Do that a few times and you are back to your original trophy count as you where before you logged off. Kinda ironic you think about that people in Legends complain about losing to much trophy's :p

If everyone think this is how this game should be played, and if SC think the same, then I guess that's the way it will stay.
I still see trophy dumb as a loophole in the game mechanics that should be fixed rather than endorsed.

Disagree. If I want to move up in trophy range it will be at the expense or your trophy count and loot and if I want to move down it will be at another players expense as well. It’s not a loophole just because you don’t like it. It’s a part of the game.
