None of them is true, but in the beginning I only went for trophies. I didn't start farming before May 2013, and I started farming because I couldn't get any further with upgrades.
However, when I had farmed for about 1 month I started to get really bored of it. Tbh, I missed the fun of trophy hunting, but I didn't want to trophy hunt due to not being able to upgrade. Since I got bored, I only logged on twice a day to get my recourses and donate troops, but I didn't attack. In November however, I realized I had to attack to get further, so since then I preform 2-5 attacks a day, getting me one upgrade every 2-3 days. I'm to bored of the game to attack more, but to get less bored I have to trophy push. Problem is, when I trophy push I don't earn enough to get the money to protect my base with better defences and that makes me go back to farming. It's pretty much like an infinite paradox, and I don't see a way to get out of it.
So plz SC, do something game-changing so:
1) Farming becomes less boring, or
2) Trophy pushing will make us earn more
Either one will make gameplay much better, as if making money won't be boring anymore
edit:
Up to and including TH7 the game is brilliant, you just can't stop playing - there is a "joie de vivre" about it!
After that, all the fun gets completely sucked out of the game as you spiral into a vortex of endles raids/upgrades, with each subsequent upgrade costing more and taking longer. Rinse/repeat until TH10 and now some peeps are calling for TH11 - for the love of all things good and fun, please give us some game content!
This pretty much explains what happened after I decided to start farming (which was at a premmie TH8 (I skipped most of TH7))
