Really unfair game (trophies)

I'm wondering why this game is punishing players so badly?
I just lost 33 trophies from an attack by an enemy (I was defending) with 2 tiers higher Town Hall (I'm at level 4), there's only so much two archer towers and cannons can do against 120 level 3 barbarians (that's almost twice the army supply I can have). Also, he was 20 player levels higher than me!

The equivalent of this in StarCraft II would be giving a player a 10 minute head start, and when he completely runs over his opponent, you still give him experience matching a win against a higher league player...

Also, when I attack, I rarely ever get more than 10 trophies. The reasons for this being that either the players who give ~30 trophies are a few tiers over me, and I score a star from a misplaced Town Hall... Or if I'm lucky I can find a player with many buildings away from defenses, but they usually give less than 20 trophies (even though they are all at higher tier of Town Hall). The fun part is, that most of the time the penalty for losing an attack is about 3 times larger than what I get from winning with a single star (even more fun when an army comes out of their Clan fort). How are you supposed to earn trophies?

read the wiki about trophy system and farming

it will clear things for you
im really tired of ppl complaining about stuff before actually knowing them

The player that attacked you probably did so in revenge of an earlier Town Hall snipe attack from you. Also, i think your cup-level is to high for your Town Hall level.

Not trying to be mean but suck it up! The matchmaking system is exceptional in the way it works

If you want to advance in the game, lose the mentality that trophies are worth anything. Raid for resources not trophies, and try dropping down a few ranks to pick on guys your level.

Some clans required certain trophy amount for members. If he's in one of those clan, would be a bit harder.

If this is his case, then he is in the wrong clan for his current TH level.

You need to raid in a trophy range dictated by your defensive and offensive abilities to raid effectively, and defend effectively.

If you're getting wiped every time, drop trophies. Like people have said, trophies mean close to nothing, and not caring about trophies will help you progress faster in this game.

There's nothing wrong with the matchmaking system. You need to adjust your play by dropping trophies, and possibly leaving your TH outside your base to get cheap shields (meaning people kill your TH and leave, your resources are left alone. You lose only a small amount of trophies. Who cares.)

I stopped reading after "I'm a TH4".. at TH4 you should be farming to max your base and advance your progress. I'm currently at TH7 and yes I prey on TH6's all the time and will end the battle at over 90%. I don't want or care about trophies and neither should you.

Yup, its unfair all right....you just need to try harder and smarter next time :cool:

This game is all about offense.

I'm an almost maxed th9, and if I were to attack my own base, I could rough it up real bad.
