Problem with Update: Personal Break Timer

Understanding Note:

I understand that the reason for changing the shield system was to avoid farming and having those "invisible" people. However, this attempt has gone too far.

Background:

Frequently playing ,almost maxed out th.10, except for walls only lv.9.

Problems:

There is are some issues with the personal break timer.You get kicked off multiple times until someone attacks you with damage >30%.

i. I max out everything and work on my base design multiple times, iteration after iteration. Now I am penalized because my base is great and no one attacks me!?!?!?!?!?!

ii. If I have no resources then I will be penalized for being broke!?!?!?!?!?!

iii. This causes people to trophy push just to avoid being kicked out multiple times, but wait isn't that my choice!? There are many considerations for choosing a trophy number which best fits. This includes economics (types of troops used, what needs to be upgraded, attacking ability, defensive buildings lv, and village organization).

Solution:

Just kick everyone out for 30min (or some set time) ONCE after the 3hrs whether they get attacked, don't get attacked, whatever the case. That gives other players plenty of time to attack that base. Those that get attacked will get the shield and those that didn't then better luck next time world. It is EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING to get kicked off multiple times again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again (just as annoying as it is to read) until getting attacked every few minutes.
I say take as much break time as you want, but just do it once and then give me freedom!

Personal breaks.

I'm sorry but personal breaks is a terrible idea.
For starters i have just got home after work and thought to myself "I know I'll play a little COC only to find out I can't because apparently I have been playing to long".

Only I haven't been playing to long, the game has been running in the background. I don't want to have to close the application down every time I finish playing. Also I know this is a free to play game, but I have payed good money to progress further in this game and I'm sorry I do not want to be told when I can play or for how long I can play. The whole idea is you pay money to progress quicker than everyone else, now I'm being punished.

The game running in the background does not count as me playing and therefore this problem needs to be fixed, otherwise this game will be unplayable for me and I will have to request a refund for all the gems I have spent and typically can't enjoy.

Please fix the problem better yet get rid of the breaks.

Should also consider revising what constitutes as us being "on too long". I've had a good handful of times that I wasn't really "playing" but more or less reading/chatting in clan chat while doing other things, work/tv/etc. and when I finally was able to put some time into actual game play, I got booted off for between 6-20min.

I also think that the personal breaks should not occur while any barracks/spell/hero boosts are active.
While some work hard in-game to earn the gems without spending real world currency, some (like myself) do pay actual money for the gems.
Using them for boosts, then being kicked off during it's run time and not allowing us to use it (for what is turning out to consistently be -an undetermined time-) is pretty much... well.. theft. Unless you change it to pause those specific boosts, then there'd be no problem ;)

Just my thoughts on the personal break thing.

Agreed. The new personal break thing is $h¡t. Supercell needs to sort this issue out asap. Else I'm done with the game.
Don't really know why do they first of all want us to max our defense so that it can be unbeatable and then want us to loose on the same defense just so that we can play for a bit longer period of time. I mean, seriously? Supercell what are you upto?

It's the wrong approach

OK, I get that the idea is to prevent players staying online all day so they don't get attacked. But rather than prevent us from playing the game by requiring these ridiculous time outs, why not simply enable attacks while players are online like other games do?

I'm trying to attack others to get resources for upgrades but keep getting kicked off. If you want players to attack others, then let us stay on so we can. I agree with other comments I read here. Fix this in a hurry or I'll be going elsewhere for games.

I also agree with the previous posts. If I don't gain a shield for 20+ hours then log on do an attack and get kicked off because I was on too long? That's wrong. I am punished because I wasn't attacked. If I am offline that means I wasn't on too long. I get it we needed a change to stop people from staying on all the time, but when bases are exposed to attacks for long periods of time those people haven't been on too long. This really needs to be fixed or people will never be on anymore.

I think its time to bring the legal team in on this. I mean a real legal team. You seriously can fight this and get a complete refund through apple support. Look it up. A perfect example of them ripping people off is letting people gem or boost their barracks to find out they are getting kicked off. There are no countdown timers to indicate how much time is remaining. Essentially Supercell is robbing people.
