Early town halls can barely progress anymore
I'm an early town hall 9. Before the update I put my town hall outside so I could get a shield and not get wrecked by other town hall 8's (as I was th8 at the time). That may be considered broken, but it made progress possible.
Now, all early town halls get wrecked by strong people of the same town hall every day. When I try to save to simple upgrade a cannon, I get looted by almost maxed town hall 9's for 300-500k gold. Also, to all those people who say, just attack while you have a shield, well my troops are weak right now, and I can barely get anywhere into the base of a strong town hall 9 or 10 (where all the loot seems to be since in actives were deleted).
So if supercell doesn't want to keep inactives, or let us out our town hall outside, then they have TO DO SOMETHING SO THAT WE CAN STILL PLAY THE GAME. People shouldn't just be able to steal an easy 500k just because "they're the same town hall," well atleast anymore, because of the changes.
My suggestion would be to make loot based on progression. This way, people about the same as me could fairly take some of my loot, and I would find bases I could actually raid. Now this may be hard for supercell to do, so maybe make people find others about the same as their level. I'm a level 97 (a little high for an early town hall 9, but I've had vacation and taken breaks from the game in the past) and it would be so much better to find other level 97's and have them find me for a balanced game where it would be possible to progress again.
