If that's really the issue, I have absolutely no clue how they have the patience and attention span (for lack of a better word) to get to a high level in CoC.

For the second time, they did give you one.

if what Marika is saying is true.. why have they waited so long to change things if it was the initial point of the game? and why cant they add levels along side it?
Of course the people who spend money will do better. Thus far, though, Supercell has done really well to ensure people can have a good game experience without paying tons of money. What basis do you have to suggest they won't continue to do so?
Also you have no idea how the league system will ultimately affect game play and what bases will get to what trophy levels. Clearly there will still be a point where gemming is the only way, but there is plenty of status to earn before getting to that point.
