Make revenge useful again

With the new matchmaking system, combined with the fact that SC doesn't seem to care how a large portion of players somehow seem to be "always online," makes revenge useless. My defense log is full of players I can never hit back, even if I start hitting the revenge button as soon as they attack me, someone always seems to already be attacking them.

Fixing the online only problem is simple, boom beach already only gives you a 4 hour safety window, so implement that so even if they are online you can still attack them.

They just need to remove the forced logout rule... Just make it after having no shield for 4 hours, you become open to attack even if you are online.

That's stupid. You know what you REALLY need? To be patient enough to WAIT for the person to be offline.

So you want all the people trying to revenge you to also be able to do so when you are online?

Terrible idea.

Here's something supercell can't refuse. For 100 gems, you can revenge attack someone with a active shield.

Let me get this straight...
if it is even remotely possible to remain 'on-line' excessively so as to effect any revenge attack then this, if not circumvented, is hurting the game!

How can that be logical!

...developers please address this!

I know for a fact they aren't going to change thier design plans to make it "Pay to Win". So yeah, that will be refused without hesitation.

Don't insult SC's intelligence like that, thinking they are just money grubbing morons.

Developers aren't going to be answering to you. Besides, this has been brought up many times before, and did they just take any old idea that looked good on the surface? No! They have thier jobs to think about. They put in 1000x more thought into the consequences of such things than you currently have on this. Obviously, the problem doesn't have a simple solution, so ask what has been shot down idea wise before, get up to speed with the rest of us, and then start suggesting things.

In this particular issue, my efforts to finding a fix basicly led me away from doing something to the revenge system itself, to doing something to influence players to attack different types of targets, and give players more viable options for revenge attacks. I think it would be easier to fix another issue that makes revenge hard to use, than to somehow work and 'break' the revenge system to work with the crappy attack options it is given.

The revenge system, by its own definition and functionality, is critically broken if it is not given a chance to act out its sole purpose in its life within CoC.
By allowing a player to circumvent this we are, quite simply, supporting a broken game.

The solutions are very simple and numerous. Simply pick one. And no, I am not going to state the obvious.
The same simple solutions apply to tracking players who frequently leave mid battle, taking their 6 stars with them.
-->don't be afraid to tackle the minority...they are the ones ruining the game experience for the vast majority!! Addressing this seems to be SC's major problem.

However, as Forbes will testify, the financial return on this single, simple tower game is increasingly alarming, to the extent that I have little faith in this being treated seriously...these 'issues' have some history?

If it was that disgustingly easy and simple, then why hasn't it been fixed with any one, or more, of those ideas?

Also, you are failing to think outside the box here, and have some really detrimental, and sadly all too common, assumptions. Not to say those assumptions are easy to find and fix, because those took me awhile to realize I was making them as well.

The primary reasons SC are not addressing these few, but ultimately crippling issues:
- SC is blinded by the 'fog of excessive profit'
- SC are afraid to tackle a minority who are increasingly ruining the game experience for the majority
and...
- SC is blinded by the 'fog of excessive profit' !
