Why is it that people seem to brag about high trophies at low town halls?

It just seems silly to add that little bit in, I mean, what is the point?

Sure it's nice to get to that amount of trophies, but it just seems odd to brag about spending a lot of time sniping rather than properly raiding.

I do acknowledge that it is harder to spend so much time sniping or going for 50% as a lower level town hall as oppose to a town hall 10.

Please can someone shed some light on it? Because it just seems like they are trying to compensate for their lack of progress in relation to their village.

I get what you say and I agree to an extent. I mean sniping town hall to get on top doesn't impress me. Sure, it takes a lot of time and dedication but that's pretty much it. There is no skill involved whatsoever. It's just a grind for trophies. Sniping TH that is.

That being said, I think you gave a bad example here. There are a few people (and the number seems to be growing) who reach Champion league at TH9 and the way they push is legit. Barch, loonion and such can get you up there if you're skilled enough. Now that is impressive. I think what you were trying to say, though, was those lowly TH3 4 5 6 snipers who get to 3200 and higher by simply sniping away because otherwise they got absolutely no chance of winning fair and square (and if they do at those levels, then this game is seriously broken). If that was the case, then I cpmpletely agree.

Your right, it doesnt take any skill to TH snipe to champ but that isn't what the impressive part is, it's the fact they sat there waiting and pressing next for a long time, now thats impressive.

Again....pressing next for hundreds of hours is not impressive (it's kinda sad), but to each his own. We've all wasted our share of time on this game. :) Difference is the time I've put in has afforded me the option of being able to join most high level clans if I choose to. With low level champs, they might get accepted temporarily to help with clan push, but can't contribute beyond that.

PS...I think a good number of low level champs are alt accounts, so it's just something different to do while they also play on their main acct.

To each their own. Even if it doesn't have any real purpose, the dedication is still impressive. There's a lot of impressive but pointless world records. It's not a "Oh wow this guy is a god" sort of impressive but more of a "Hmm, that's interesting. Now what else is on the forums? *presses the next page*"

I don't doubt that it is a bit difficult.

Well someone able to get to champs without sniping as a th9 is more difficult tahn a th10 with it having less to work with

So they are not good at advancing their village, but are good at attacking for 50%?

It isn't limited to clash either, happens to gaming in general.

I'm guessing you must not push trophies much. It's a hell of an achievement to reach masters or champ even with a thing lower than a th9 ( which you seem to be implying is a low th?!, erm. Not)
Whether you snipe your way there or 50% or go ' full on raid' whatever that is in your book , makes no difference. It's all some level of skill or dedication and patience . All good in my book.

I went masters first first time as a th9 and I still remeber the elation I felt when I hit that black badge!! I'm a farmer so pushing don't come easy to me.

Now I farm in masters being a th10 and all and it's not half as special as that feeling when I got there as a th9.

Now had I been a th7 hitting masters you bet ya I would have told everyone about it. Major braggage :cool::rolleyes: Totally understandable
