High level players purposely losing to enter into lower leagues where they dominate

I started noticing that I would win battles when other players would drop one unit onto my map and then surrender immediately. I was given their trophies so it didn't really bother me at first. As it started happening more and more I became perplexed because the average player doing this to me was, generally speaking, much more advanced than me and should have been able to crush me taking all my gold and elixir. Then I caught on as I was finding highly advanced players in the leagues I was entering into. Much more advanced than the league was designed for. Clearly they were out of place. Maybe they stopped playing the game....??? Nope these were active players. It all started to make sense... if you loose enough trophies you drop down into lower leagues making it very, very, very easy to take everyone's gold and elixir without needing to expend valuable, high elixir costing, troops. For instance, someone with level 5 archers can destroy an entire village in the silver league with only spending 20,000 or less elixir to make his/her troops fully knowing that they are going to be able to re-cooperate that and then-some if they scout out their villages effectively. This is very aggravating because when you are trying to build expensive items or upgrade them (especially town halls) you reach a threshold to where it makes it extremely difficult to be able to save enough because every 12 hours I am getting blasted again by some "ringer" in a league that he/she clearly doesn't belong. I do eventually get my items built but sometimes it takes 2 weeks to be able to save the amount need to build/upgrade when it should only take a few days. It is my suggestion that once you enter into a new league that you only be able to drop 1 league below your highest entered league. For instance, if I just entered into the Gold I league and wanted to "club down" and enter into lower leagues where I could dominate, I should only be allowed to drop down 1 league (Gold II) regardless of the amount of trophies I lose. This will prevent players from being allowed to take advantage of the system. Am I right? Am I wrong?

Man, my eyes. Please format your text for people to read easier in the future, thanks!

I put in bold what I think your post could have been reduced to, essentially.

I think it is quite a poor idea, not very well thought out to be honest. Let me explain.

This would deter people from EVER trophy pushing. It is a good thing once in a while to take a break from farming and test out your strength and ability to see how deep you can get into raiding.

I did this up to masters 3 and was happy to stop there because any further and I would have to stay online all the time just to prevent my TH9 from getting mauled by TH10 players. This is not fun. Nor is getting next to no resources sometimes because I'm just striving for that 50% just to keep my trophies this high. You're saying that I can never drop back down into gold league if that's where the best farming exists for gold at TH9 just because I once decided to make a push for masters league?

And what if I made it to champions somehow at TH9 (it's happened to quite a few dedicated players), then they can never drop be masters ever again?

That totally doesn't make sense, to be quite truthful. I do not support this idea one bit.

okay, you're right there. It wasn't well thought out as I am not as an advanced player as you. Maybe the war win bonus needs to be more attractive or something to encourage players not to do this. I understand "farming" but I had th7 in gold I league and every time in try to upgrade certain expensive items I get slaughtered and lose everything I saved. I feel like I take 1 step forward and then 2 back. I myself just lost 24 battles in a row expending 1 troop at a time so that hopefully players in the bronze league don't have the ability to steal my resources. Not sure if this was how the engineers envisioned their game to be played or not.

If understood farming, as you say, you wouldn't be complaining. You should post your base and attack strategy in the tactics forum and ask for help.

There is something called farming bro look it up

Seconded. De-ranking is really part of the game. If you took it out, you'd make dabbling in the big leagues a big no no, and dabbling at higher trophies is tons of fun. If you see a base that's out of your league, try clicking "next."

ok in this statement you just admitted that you do it too, you dropped down to bronze. so you don't have a right to be posting this. your a hypocrite. even if you did it to get away from the better players, guess who your attacking now? thats right, your the 'good' player attacking all the this and 6s in bronze. shut up dude, just stop commenting on this thread. adding this league change would RUIN the game. supercell would never even think about adding it because they know a HUGE part of their gamer base is farmers.

Chances are, unless you're loaded, that the people that are farming in your league won't even look twice at your base. They're there for the big fish... since the leagues they're supposed to be in are full of people just like them who are pickin on people who are easy scores.

This idea is ridiculous. What happens to the few players that get pushed into Crystal 2, or even masters league at TH6, and can't go back? They have to play with the big leagues until they "catch up"?

Think about these things before you post bud..
