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?
Learn to use the match maker wisely...

KoningDulcis:
I have about 1000+ trophies

I fail to see what's so exceptional about it, I've been playing online games since most people here were still in diapers and I can tell you that it's one of the worse I've seen... And I've also read about people looking for games for 30+ min, is that the way it's supposed to be?

What else is there to play for? I have workers constantly upgrading without nearly any idle time, and my resources are full most of the time. I want trophies for the achievements so I can get some gems (no, I'm not going to pay for them). Maybe I will try losing some and see if it helps
BoardGuest808888:
That's right, my clan does, maybe I could lose about 200 and still be in it...
If your clan had a clue, they would tell you to drop trophies and fast.
At TH 4 you are barely even worth running over for the big guys. Your resources are pathetic. The only thing you provide is an easy win for the bi-weekly push in the trophy contest.
Drop trophies until you win more defenses than lose them. That is your "right" level.
BTW, if you really are as old as you claim, stop whining. You are making those of us in the "Senior" division look bad.
I just get a kick out of someone saying they've been playing games forever
but this game is unfair.
Well, it's the most popular hand-held game out there. It must be many people like an unfair fight.
Quite complaining and get with the program. A little reading in these posts will bring you a loooong way.
The game can be frustrating but the frustration is the game.
You better get used to losing because it's unavoidable in this game. It's the yin and the yang of your wins versus your losses capiche?
I understand what you mean.
Qliver, the game is unfair in some ways. I've been devasted by players with many more resources that I have. You are correct that in many cases you have no chance whatever. This is particularly true for players like me that aren't interested in joining a clan. I like being independent. Just keep in mind that the game generally favors the attackers. On the other hand, when you are attached, you don't actually lose that many resources, you just lose trophies. It's not hard to get those back. However, don't be too eager to win more too fast. It will just put you up against players that are at a higher level. I've only been playing a little longer than you and the best advice I've been given is to max out every resource before you go to the next higher town hall. One more thing. Everyone gets beaten. Don't take it personally.
