Warren James is a mix of a sound-a-like of an old net name (not saying what) which gives Warren, and my real life first name, James. Never knew that even existed.

To be honest it is not necessarily the best association as the Warren James Jewellery chain, although abundant in the UK, is not quite high end. To put it in other terms, if you want a sovereign ring or an item of jewellery with Mum, Daughter, Sister etc displayed in very yellow gold, then this is the shop for you. Sorry chap.

The point is that I take it that you have a good base?!? If so would you not like to receive a supply of gold from those who decide not to take you on???

I'm sure the answer would be yes and let's face it lousy bases are not that hard to find and will continue as long as someone has a 'great' idea for a new base design.. :D

I would still keep my TH exposed for this. I expect there are two types of attackers, people looking for loot and people looking for trophies. With an exposed TH, my loot is still VERY safe (as safe as it can be) so I will still be passed on by the people "intimidated by my base" and looking for loot, and only attacked by the people who are trophy poaching.

I'd get to have my cake and eat it too, lets do it!

On the other hand you could just leave your Town Hall out there to be sniped and rarely have any of these problems and a shiny new 12 hour shield to boot.

So how about the game redresses the balance for all of those players who build a tough base, max their walls and intimidate the attacker into pressing the Next Button?

Simple solution, give the Next Button monies to the village that you decided not to attack. Easy income stream and a motivation to build a base that people don't even want to think about attacking...

Just imagine you log on after a sound night's sleep to find that you've had a couple of good defences - always handy to get a few trophies of those less sophisticated attackers - and 750 gold multiplied by the 30 passers-by who decided that you were, most definitely, not the base for them...

its not that you have decided to protect your town hall. Its that you decided to try seeing how high you can push. And you are not being punished by it. You are being challenged.

They should not change anything. Its supposed to be hard. For me, for you, for everyone.

More money should be held in the Town Hall too. Maybe up to 100k/100k/500.

If you were that Warren James you would be buying so many gems and not even caring.

In the US, so I have no clue on the reputation of that chain of stores; or any jewelry store for that matter.

Actual, if put into that analogue, I feel like the shady pawn shop at the bad end of town, robbing others while getting broken into and robbed as well. :p

Phh Lol, where's the rimshot from the band? XD

Actually, I'd still care. Can't just buy any old gems. Have to be the good (magical) kind. :smirk:

By the way, check my visitor messages. Someone on there claimed I sold them gems! XD Now that seems even funnier after all of this talk of jewelry stores.

Pretty sure this will mess up the game economy by introducing too much gold.

Yes, clicking next does destroy/remove gold from the game. But gold is also created by mines, league bonuses, clan war bonuses, ummmmm that's all I can think of right now. Oh I guess if people buy gold with gems, that's counts too, but people that do so usually dump it into an upgrade immediately, so it's hardly ever raidable.

I hear you when you say many players complain about no bases to attack and are frustrated by chucking away gold into countless next clicks.

I believe that you can ALWAYS find a trophy range that will net you resource profits if you go up or down enough to find a more lucrative trophy range.

Other people above have posted some great points to the downsides of this idea, the debate is a good one, but solutions to the main problem are available in game already, and I feel that this would inevitably cause more headaches than it would solve.

There is always a league--for example, I just found a 175k gold base on first next! I'm sitting at 1612 right now, the upper end of my favorite range.

I sctually like the idea contrary to the others.
