And when farming they are more interested in finding higher value for there troops. Unless you left your resources undefended. To be honest you were probably worth more as a trophy dump. The only time they would attack is of there were climbing from the hole and then it would be because they had the same trophy count. People complain that a bigger player attacked them. Well there are 2aspects of this game. Resources and trophies. Fighting people in the middle offers nothing. Either you want to be at the top (for trophies) or the bottom (for resources). The middle is just in the way for those trying to get to either end.

awww.. you seriously think that a TH6 could get through the defenses of a TH9 to get the "50% optimal loot".

You just have no ideas what you are talking about.

What's your level and bases defenses? Also, do you gem?

It sounds like your more annoyed that you can't maintain +2500 trophy bragging rights post update. Similarl players in terms of level will also have this problem so you will all naturally adjust your trophy count together.

Like said in the original post, we didn't change the difficulty of the game but rather only the perceived difficulty changed because you are now offered matches that should be closer to your strength and thus more challenging.

I'm level 65, and normally sit at around 2,000 trophies. I haven't managed to get above 2,100 yet, and was getting hammered by up to 8 ( including cc) level 3 pekkas, and was unable to save, so I dropped to 1800 to protect resources. Since the update, I'm finding lots of very easy battles for 20 or 30 trophies, but very little loot. I've won on defense 4 times since the update, and am back around 2,000 again.
i hope the lack of loot is because a lot of people are online after the update, but I don't think that's the case.

Rauta, do you guys do any projections on the in-game economy, and the effects your changes will make? I'm pressing "next" a whole lot more than I was before the update.

serious

lvl range match making would solve this problem, and would be fair for everyone this dropping trophys for farming "noobs" would be long gone. Isnt that what we wont a fair game for everyone, i dont care about trophys either but getting robbed by someone way more advanced then you sounds unfair.

It's pointless to try to hit 2000+ trophy when you're level 30. It's just plain impossible. Nomsayin?

The main objectives of a farmer: Farm, get stronger, reap all the benefits later. :)

+1 on this point by Pedro. For those that are complaining, try to truly comprehend what this reply means. The people that are complaining are those that went way over their natural trophy range. I'm talking about those that kept upgrading their TH to 8 or 9, while neglecting to upgrade other important items. This game is all about BALANCE. You'll get crushed with this new update if you started chasing trophies too early. Be patient, upgrade your weak builldings/army, then watch your trophies go back up.

I agree, why not match more by town hall level and not trophy level

Because town hall level matching was tried in beta and did not work. Town hall says little about how good your offense/defense is.
