Town Hall higher levels hurt you.
Implement League Minimum for players based on level.
Implement League Maximum for players based on level.

The town hall upgrade is backwards. Why do higher level town halls get punished by getting less loot? Ridiculous. Had I know that upping my town hall was going to be detrimental to my farming abilities I would have kept it at level 5. If someone who is a level 30 has 1400 trophies they deserve to be wiped out. They should play the game and stay in their respectable league. I waste gold day in and day out getting paired with players who have town hall level 5 or lower, 500 gold/elixir total and are a level 30 or lower player but in higher leagues because people trophy dump on them. I think Clash of Clans needs to implement league minimum/maximums for players based on levels. If someone ups their town hall to a level 10 as fast as possible why do they get punished? Farming has become very difficult now that Clan Wars is out.
Knowing what I know now about this game – I would max everything out at level 1 town hall, then up to level 2, max out, then 3 and so on. You get the most loot at lower level town halls.
Please help us out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loot penalties are based on TH level, because basing them on level would be stupid.

Level is extremely arbitrary and a poor indicator of relative strength.

If you consider TH level an indicator of player level then it does not hurt your farming loot. It keeps it balanced. If you had been attacking bases the same TH level as you the loot will be the same. If picking on villages that are weaker than you is your preferred game play you should stay at TH7 or TH8. It is not backwards it is balancing. It is this way to prevent bullies from pushing new players out of the game.

Don't get me wrong. I have certainly dropped trophies to get easier loot and be able to save for expensive upgrades but it is always more difficult. It makes the game more of a challenge. That's what the game is supposed to do.
