Please show SC your feelings on showing player levels - your vote will be seen, so please make it count!
"Hi! Apologies for not noticing this thread earlier!!! At the moment we don't have plans for showing XP level instead of League badge. I'm sorry!" ( Marika )
Are you disappointed?! Please Vote.
Let us show SC this community can come together and agree - that number represents a lot!
EDIT: To see how folk have voted click on the voted number for the display :)
just keep reading that thread....................... the one that post was posted..........
you should also post the supersteve post which said that they were taking it into consideration, i really want them back, i mean, when i attack i literally dont know if he is my level and he has a weak defense but high lvl troops, or if he is 20 levels above me
Both For the 50th time this probably was mention about 20 times
Well, I for one am a huge supporter of the level. I'm not sure if you realized, but a massive amount of clans base who they accept, upon level, people use level to know who to recruit, and as a way to know who to join. Levels are a quick way to tell how good a base is when attacking. It's something you earn, and shows all your accomplishments. Something that most of us are proud of, and it should be displayed for EVERYONE to see
We just had Illustris bring in the thread of bringing the levels back. And Steve just confirmed for us that he is showing it to the team. Supercell is aware of this.
On a side note, would you guys rather be donated lvl 5 archers or lvl 3 wizards?
SuperSteve has mentioned that they are looking into bringing back the level...
I just want the levels back. :/

It most likely has been discussed but I just want to show SC the choice they made is not what this community actually wants.
at the end of the day ppl will agree/disagree.
Lets hope SC will at least look at this thread and see that long time community members ( even though my post count doesn't show it ) want levels back!
Tiny ( I'm not a lemming )
Levels serve many purposes. When deciding whether to attack a base or not, looking at the level helped you see if they might have a strong defense or not. Yes, you can spend time looking at the actual defense but it less time efficient. Levels also helped a lot when looking at players you might want to recruit or even just to show how far you've come along in the game. There is a lot of us that would proudly show off our level because we felt it really shows how much time and energy you have spent on the game. Please display levels once again.

Fair enough. I've been tracking the other polls and it is about 4/5 want it and 1/5 don't care/don't want it. Let us see if your results are similar, unless it gets closed as you've alluded to.Quote:

Of course, you are free to create yet another poll on this or do as ye wish, but consider the following:
Marika was only shown one of those splintered threads by SneakyDave earlier today, and I can't blame her after all these needlessly, duplicative threads. Steve has already responded that this feedback has been passed to the Developers.
See this thread, it may help you. It has the links to the various polls already created, as well as Steve's responses:

Vote and create change through your positive actions.
i tried two times, and both times daddy closed the way. but i guess you are a college, so this thread will live much longer. damn preferences. or i guess he will end up deleting my posts. NOT LIKE HE DID IT BEFORE. :)Quote:

please bring levels back its so annoying when recruiting in global u need to visit the player if he's not in a clan and its sad when attacking cauz u can't see his level. u guys are all about the money!!!!!
Bring levels back please!!
I voted for the return of the old level, but I would happily accept the League+Level option as well.
the reason for choosing option 1 is that level is actually useful information while League is practically useless.
That about sums it all up!Quote:

Supercell is like the parents with the ugly baby, they love their baby and think it is the cutest baby in the world. Telling them bluntly that their baby is ugly is only going to bring out a defensive knee jerk "No it's not!" reaction.Quote:

I think that Supercell made such a decision because in this way we can not be judged by the level anymore ... but we are recruiting in the same manner. And with the league badge is complicated as bevor. I don't understand why Supercell is not using both level and league it would be please everyone.
You do realize, that by now they have seen the response, and will most likely reimplement it...
However, as has been stated before on previous cosmetic changes (time stamps, collector bubble) it won't happen until they roll out their next major update anyways. It's most likely not because, they are "holding on to it" or any other example that has been posted above. It isn't as simple as setting up a link for a patch/hot fix when your dealing with a third party like apple for updates.
So, if possible, can we have our forum back now. I posted in this one because it has the poll, and will probably go further to proving how much the minority of players (forum readers) want to see the level again.
The minor things always seem to get the greatest outcry on forums for mmo style games. Is curious.
Note: I didn't vote because I can't see the poll on the device I am posting from :). I would vote for level back please, but only because it makes clan admin harder. As besides that, level means nothing anyways.
I understand your point of view, but did you saw this one SharkOutofWater ?
it seems that Supercell don't want to bring the lvl back :(Quote:

I cant believe how SC took away levels. The Community is very upset with the levels being taken away. ( there are some who dont care) we have many many threads about levels and how we want them back. polls asking levels vs leagues or both. the vast majority wants levels BACK.
Bring Levels Back :)
For the purpose of having a high level to recruit, supercell just want people to try and go up to diamond or master league and spend gems doing so just so they have that badge to try and recruit from it in global. I'd love to say I'm wrong, but I'm not.
When I recruit, I don't care about how many trophies he/she has, I want to know how long they've been playing and how much they donate.

When we do take in new members we look at the whole picture of the player, this includes, their level, base design, base development, troop strength, the age and maturity of the player, will they fit into the culture of the clan and lastly do they appear to be a good person. Senior elders are then approached for their views on the candidate as well.Quote:

Not all players will be high trophy players, and our family of clans does cater to the needs of our players - trophies, farming and fun.
In the last few weeks we have specifically head-hunted certain players and they are either in our clan or have received a PM asking them to join our clan.
Prior to that, folk applied at our doorstep and we needed to screen them, we still utilize this process if we believe a candidate would fit into other clans within the Bonbee family.
I appreciate that SC wish to focus primarily on trophies and they can, it is their game. But wouldn't it be nice if they catered for all of us?
Levels served no operational purpose except to allow the purchase of some decorations, so they must have been intended to show the player's relative strength and time spent on the game.
taking them away seems to be an effort to change the culture in the game and make us focus on trophies - it has to bewhat they meant about making trophies worthwhile, as the league bonuses are oo small to be meaningful.
Daddy said he has never seen a company that is so willing to listen to feedback from customers( or words to that effect). This would be a good tome to demonstrate that you value our opinions.
Level is important for screening clan members.
Please bring it back!
The results so far:
139 in favour of level or combo league/level
22 in favour of no level or don't care
I would like it back merged with the league badge, but looking at the replies from supercell, this is no hope :( *twisted fingers+
Let's hope dear meerkat, lets hope.
SC does listen and if we can positively show support for the return of levels then we can focus on celebrating your upcoming 100! YEAH :)
NB: Love your new avatar - wonder what Jun says hehe :)
My entire clan would agree that the level should be shown once again. To compromise, level and league should be shown side by side somehow.
Sheesh, bring it back already.
bring it back, what's keep you supercell -_-
Can you atleast tell us the reason for not bringing levels back? All this demand yet its still not happening? Is it because you want us to spend gems to try and get into higher trophy leagues that are only achieved by gemming?
Tell us why you won't do it atleast!!!
... lol this is hopeless.
If anything the top players must've asked SC To show the league badge so they changed it and since us non gemmers don't pay for the game they don't give a ... About what we want or say
SC cares about the whole playing community
Again no flames or rants here please, we are trying to be positive and show SC how our wonderful community feels on this issue. If they choose not to listen, then we will have to graciously accept their decision and move on.

I wish I could give you a different reply, but I can’t. The league badge will continue to replace XP level as the default symbol in most places, like in chat. We’ll continue showing both in clan info, top list and when visiting.
I'm totally in favor of them incorporating the level in some respect. I know it doesn't serve any real purpose, but taking it away didn't serve any real purpose either. So, it's just my opinion but bring back the level.Quote:

man they said they have taken it into consideration, just wait, maybe in next update they will come back
yay im the 100th person to say league and level
A restoration of the level badge may have to wait until the next update (not sure how it is programmed in). At any rate, it is going to take time. Patience.
In a freemium game, status is the biggest motivation for people to spend money. Supercell is trying to stop status from being attributed to what level a player is because that can be gained without a large financial investment. They want high trophy players to be the only ones with in game status because that typically requires a large financial commitment. In short, if someone is going to post in global and get a bunch of instant fanboys they want it to be because of a champion league badge, not a badge for being level 110.Quote:

No I get why they decided to get rid of levels completely arbitrarily, and I agree with everything you stated above. I meant it served no purpose to stave off the eventual comments from the group of same ol people saying, 'it's not a true measure of anything, blah, blah, blah.' Hahaha, but very nice summary of their underlying intentions.Quote:

Thank you very much to everyone who participated and who contributed to the poll - fingers crossed that SC may take on board our hope for either a return of levels or a combination of league/ levels. In any event, it was heart warming that so many supported my little poll by voting and I thank you all sincerely xoxo
