New update won't kill farming
We've all seen the new pic of the trophy leagues and many people are already that this will kill farming, but it won't. Everyone is going to try to go up in trophies, everything will be relative, we're going to be seeing most TH 6-8 at over 1400 or even the 2000s, the TH9s are going want to go ever further up. Even if some TH6 or 7 wants to go up over 2000, they're still gonna get destroyed by high level defenses.
Either way the point is that everyone is going to want to go up in trophies, which means everything will stay relative to how it is now, and there will still be a wall between the lower TH levels and the higher The only way I can see this being bad for farmers is if half the people decide to trophy hunt and the other half doesn't, and the loot penalty still exists.
