Attacks by individuals should be governed by the players skill level not by their TH level or their league level. A person having a skill level of 45 in silver 1 should never be able to be attacked by a player that has a skill level of 113 just because that player dropped down to silver 1. Please base attacks by player skill level or change the leagues to be based on player skill level. Instead of trophies.
Trophies are a proxy for skill level. After all you receive them for winning and lose them for losing.Quote:

I get that people don't care about trophies and so they manipulate the count, but why wouldn't they simply manipulate their skill level in a similar matter?
I would not call it skill level, but more of experience? level. You cannot accurately measure "skill" in this game and certainly a higher "experience level" does not necessarily imply that the player is a skillful player in terms of attacking, base layout, etc..Quote:

One week a player could have over 2000 a few hours later they can be down at 800.Quote:

Overall, I think things are ok the way they it is now, but that is me.Quote:

So you're saying that your experience level is a proxy for skill? Really?Quote:

Using experience level to create match ups would make people stop donating, possibly make them gem more and create more high level bases down low while sticking donation ♥♥♥♥s like me way out of our league. Here's what needs to happen . . .
SC needs to include a DNA scanner in CoC. It would use osmosis to gather your genome and use it to figure out if you are a big dummy or not. SC would then use this to properly match active players of equal ability and activity together so they were always guaranteed to have the most evenly matched and difficult target possible. By doing this they would freeze the economy of everybody who has figured out how to play the game and force them to buy gems in order to progress anywhere. Since inactive players aren't touching their phone they would be excluded and all of those dead bases would be uncalculated. Only bots would see them as available since bots also lack DNA. This would be the perfect way to make sure matchups are always equal and end the game for everybody except bots. I hope you are listening SC because this is the best idea since Enron figured out new math.
The new ipads are coming with touch id. Maybe they can leverage that.Quote:
