The Golden Hour - always ?

So I was thinking, I believe active bases go into the raid queue first. So if everyone farmed (had TH on the outside) we would see all the active bases get shields. This would pull forward all of the inactive bases, and everyone that raids would have more loot by raiding inactive bases.

The trophy rating wouldn't fall too much either. As that attacking base would go up by sniping other farms, offseting any losses they get by getting sniped or missing the 50% on the inactive bases.

Thoughts?

Not the first time this has been suggested. Only problem with it is...how will you get everyone that plays to do this?

Even if you would manage to get everybody to do this, you would still have the following issue:
Whole active CoC community is under shield.
1 player starts an attack (or starts looking for it).
That player will become 'the most active player' at that moment and the 2nd player (in that trophy range) will see him first. The 3rd will see the 2nd, the 4th the 4rd etc.
It'll never work.

No because they will be online and so you will still see the inactives.

It is a good plan and while we will never be able to get everyone to do it, we should absolutely do our part by trying. As far as I am concerned every player that does not have his town hall outside is an economic leech. Ideally, in addition to putting our town halls outside, we should all try to remain in crystal and above to make sure that the people that do snipe us get a good loot bonus. People that protect their town halls should be looked down on far more than DE zappers.

At first when I saw "Golden Hour," I thought "Golden Shower" :rolleyes:

Been suggested before and it's not possible :rolleyes:

There is a major benefit to benefit to being a farmer now. I can build up resources quicker while under sheild (only 1 attack every 12 hrs vs. 3 attacks). So I wouldn't call this the prisoner's dilemma. There are serious benefits without the other party doing it already (which is why farming is so popular).

As for noone being available, just the opposite, With millions of users bases would come off shield every minute, so I would think every other base would be an inactive raid or a TH to snipe.



disclosure: Yes I farm.

Matchmaking should be completely random regardless of activity level.

activity level should not play role in matchmaking.

Only trophy range, that's all.

SC said that inactive village is not being hidden, but by moving active village forward in the queue they have indirectly moving inactive to the back which is unfair.

Golden hour such as after the update should be the norm, not just one hour after update. It should be like that all the time.
