Equalizer needed!

I've been playing COC for a year and a half now, and I feel there's a fundamental flaw in the game - new players have a very small chance of achieving a high level without years of playing. I have friends I might convince to play, but the time it would take for them to reach around my level (I am a fairly active player) makes it not worthwhile for me to enlist them, in that they would not be relevant as clan members in war for at least a few months.

Therefore I suggest measures be taken to allow advanced player to help new players, in such a way that the gap between them might be closed quicker.

I have a few ideas how this could be achieved, but I would be glad to hear others (some of mine are ruled out already I think).

- Allow clan members to build for each other
- Allow aid packages to weaker player
- enlarge the initial clan castle, so that weaker players can take more advantage of strong troops

I don't know if I have the perfect formula, but the fact of the matter is that I don't have any incentive to recruit new players - and that can't be a situation that supercell accepts.

The best way to do this would be to gradually reduce the upgrade time/costs of structures as new ones are released.

i dont understand this point of urs (- Allow clan members to build for each other) how clan member help to build each other??
for this idea (- enlarge the initial clan castle, so that weaker players can take more advantage of strong troops) i will suggest .... castle size must be same from lvl 1 to lvl 6 castle.... in upgrades... it should upgrade only .... war bonus storages.....


as said by Dahimi.... (The best way to do this would be to gradually reduce the upgrade time/costs of structures as new ones are released.).... that is best idea... to reduce upgrade time... 12 days etc are very long.... make is max 8 days...

Agreed. And note that when supercell release new troop/spell levels, sometimes the time it takes for the research to finish DOES lower for the former levels. Hope that made sense...

That's not what I said. It's more like if level X of tower takes 12 days, when they release level X + 1 of that tower, it should take 12 days and the previous one drops to say 10 days or something.

They do, do it sometimes. It's not consistently though, and often times they don't reduce the time requirements. What I'd like SC to do is to keep the amount of time required to max your base somewhat consistent regardless of how many structures or levels of structures they add.

So for example when the game launched if it took 1 year to go from start to a max TH8, I'd like to see TH10 also take a year even though tons of new structures and levels for those structures were released. Furthermore I'd like to see the times weighted more toward the later updates. For example maybe it'd take a couple months to get max TH8, and then 9 more months to go from a max TH8 to a max TH10.

So that they don't have to put in as much time and effort as we did? no. We would be better off creating another server for people to play on or something.

I don't like the idea, simply because it would make all the work those of us who have spent 2-3 years playing less impressive. if you want to speed things up, use gems. New players should grow at the same rate I did.

I'd much rather have a larger selection of targets to choose from without loot penalty as a TH10, than worry about how impressive my base seems.

Why would you place more value on appearance than actual game play?

When was the last time you were genuinely worried about what people who were TH8 were doing? Who cares?

I'd love to give my weaker clan mates some resources when my storages are full. Love the idea.

Resource donation is ruled out. It would break the game.
