Dang that's real! That stinks, and will probably happen to a lot us.

Maybe. I just read the post about that couple comments up. I do hope that settles down soon. I love this game too much, I worry about it starting to stink.
But it's still a new game as well, SC is doing everything they can to please so many people who all gripe about opposite problems
Lol.. You are so Right..
But let us all just drop, because aparently no one of us have earned out trophys by actually just being good at the game.. No, we have stolen them in the most hideous way, by winning our fights and deffences.. Shame on us ;-)
Aparently, now winning trophys in the game was a loophole.. Especially if against a player where you could win the fight.. But dropping down hundreds or thousand of trophys to loot newbie players that dont stand a chance, thats okay, in fact actually the new meaning of the game ?
Funny.. If i hadn't been "learned" this just now, i would really have thought it better the other way round ?
Ohh.. Just a thought.. When we have all dropped, wont we just be meeting the same players still.. So Will this really solve anything ?
Dahimi:If you're complaining about the match making because you are now being matched with high level opponents, this means you have too many trophies for your level.
ZUES: I agree. Strong villages are going to have a higher trophy count unless they are farmers.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________
Dahimi: What's unfair is to expect to be able to have as many trophies as them without putting in the time and effort they did.
ZUES: Disagree, If those players won their high trophy count by winning 1-3 trophies per raid then they did put IN THE TIME AND EFFORT...just don't be surprise to see you lost 20-50 on defense the next day. Unless you were attacked my a strong farmer who has a strong units but a low trophy count. There i would say sucks since the farmer is stronger than the "victim" but has a lower trophy count.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________
Dahimi: You want trophies, you have to play with the big boys now.
ZUES: A better statement is "You want trophies, you have to play with the big spenders now" Example: I've logged off within 10-20 minutes i get a notification that by village was attacked by ___________. Attacked by Pekkas and rage/pekkas, wizards, and rage. I visit their village surprise surprise they already have 6-8 pekkas in their army camps....Big boys, No. Big Spenders, Yes.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________
Dahimi:Level in this game is meaningless.
ZUES: I 100% agree. and for no reason should it determine who a player is matched with. You get experience points for everything:donating, clearing trees, trunks, bushes, joining a clan, etc. But give them time Dahimi once they are lvl 70+ they'll understand and if they don't....oh my.

12djae: If you find that you have a hard time winning at the level, then it means your army isn't up per yet for you to move up in trophy count.
Zues: Not in all cases, a player can have lvl 5 units but still lose because they are not attacking with pekkas, rage, wizard, lighting. they might not use pekkas as much since they take 1 hour to train and they don't want to be a big spender. Even using pekkas, rage, and wizards doesn't mean you'll automatically win...you need to include some strategy into your attack if your attacking a village that is max out.

Aimee: Matches should be based on a persons level not trophy count alone.
ZUES: *Shakes head* When are people going to learn.

Dshimi:No, there is no "point" to the game. Some people like to focus upgrading their base, some on trophies, others on silly designs....all play styles are valid, and the game is what you make of it.
ZUES: agree, If you want trophies but don't want to buy gems...sorry buddy its not going to work. So stop stressing over trophies and enjoy the game...I for one enjoy attacking villages and watching my units destroy the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. And using a variety of combos...archer, giants, and wb/ wizards, barbs, and dragons/ healer, giants, wizards, wb...the list goes on and on. Also trying different setups. thats the true beauty of the game not the number next to your name...yes, competing and trying to be #1 is also fun but if its causing stress please don't complain and enjoy the game. Games are supposed to be fun not cause stress. ;)

Dshimi:so you really think it makes sense to have a ranking consisting of members who got there by almost exclusively defeating much weaker opponents and not people of the same as them.
ZUES: hey, if they put in the time and won 1-3 trophies per raid then yes i do think it makes sense just don't be surprise when you see you lost 20-50 trophies the next day on defense.
__________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
Dshimi:If your base were fine for your trophy count, you shouldn't be having a problem with matching system based on rank.
ZUES: disagree, defense (Village) and offense (lvl of your units) are two completing separate things and shouldn't be combined. Its like the separation of state and church....Just becuase someone has a strong village doesn't automatically mean they have strong unites and just because someone has strong units doesn't mean they'll have a strong village.. The player can lose a lot on defense but win on offense all the time due to their weak village but strong units...and a player can lose a lot on offense but win all the time in defense. Extreme scenario: I can create a account, gem my way to lvl 9 town hall, gem my laboratory, gem my units and BOOM strong units but a very very weak village.

People just enjoy the game and don't stress over trophies if you don't plan to buy gems. Enjoy the game!!! If losing trophies is causing you frustration and stress just stop and enjoy chatting with the people you met, enjoy raiding villages with a variety of combos, and have fun....but if you like to compete and be #1 and help your clan be #1 too then by some gems and compete....Game on ladies and gentlemen.
Get real. There is no "being good at the game" at least not really. Your "skill" is a function of how long you've been playing and how much money you have spent. Unless you're a complete moron who doesn't know to keep their builders busy and how to build a decent defense by seeing what works when you attack, watch replays, and view top 50 bases.
You "earned" your trophies the same way farmers "earn" their resources. You hit the "next match" button until a target comes up that you know you can defeat that gives you a satisfactory troop/trophy ratio. The fact that you were able to do this enough times between shields so that you could grow your trophy count does not mean you have tons of skill. It means you have tons of time. It also cheapens the ranking system for those that actually have bases that can withstand being there while attacking people of the same rank.
Find another way to stroke your epeen.
No, everyone dropping will not create a problem. The match making is based on trophies. The pool of players at the bottom is already much larger than the pool at the top. If everyone drops the pool will just grow. That means you'll encounter some level 9 town halls, sure. However there are a lot more players that do not have level 9 town halls.
People seem to think that an investment of time entitles them to something. It doesn't, not in the real world and not in this game either. If you spent hours and hours climbing the trophy ladder at 1-3 trophies a pop, that's your own fault.
Not all investments are good ones.
I see the biggest complainants are the ones who refuses to farm. Ouch.
i agree not all investments are good ones such as buying gems daily, weekly, or monthly since in a couple of months or years that individual would say "damn did I really spend a lot of money on a free game?". And putting time into something doesn't automatically mean they should be entitled but if they put in the time those 1-3 cups are well deserved i guess since after all they did destroy a village and when a village is destroyed it means they accomplished something. Small or big its still an accomplishment. And if the game allowed players to win 1-3 trophies i don't see why it was wrong for them to do that. Life isn't fair. deal with it
The cups are deserved, they just aren't entitled to have Supercell put controls in place so that they can keep them. It wasn't wrong for them to do that. It was wrong for them to do that while at the same time claiming the game wasn't fair because high levels could raid them. They want Supercell to permit them to slowly inch up there with complete impunity while completely ignoring the fact that they were engaging in similar farming techniques of their own, except for trophies instead of resources. You can't help but laugh at the irony of their current situation, no?
As for life not being fair, I'd say the same to you.
Deal with it.
