I think this would fix everyone's PBT issues

If you add time back to the PBT for successful raids, I think a lot of the balance issues after the th11 update would fix themselves. Tie the time that goes back to the PBT to the league bonuses.

You get no additional time for trophy dropping.
You get 1.5 minutes added for a 50% attack.
You get 1.5 minutes added for destroying the town hall.
You get 2.5 minutes added for total destruction.

Subject to some arbitrary cap (say 6 hours), at which point none of the bonus time will count and the player will be forced to break.

I don't think you understand the intent of PBT.

...it's to make sure that people aren't using bots to keep themselves "Always Online." If you require active raids in order to get time added to the PBT, then attacks will be heavily incentivized and "sitting and watching" will be penalized.

No, it's to increase the availability of bases in the attack queue. Check the sneak peeks where official release info is contained. Automatically extending PBT for active attackers would undo any intent to make bases available.

There is nothing wrong with "sitting and watching", as many people do this routinely in wars. In fact there are complaint threads devoted to the disruption to sitting and watching wars when PBT hits.

I have never seen SC officially say PBT is to combat bots and stay-alive techniques, even though the forum seems to repeat this mythology. After all, pre-update PBT was 6 hours and this didn't stop it either.

(The pre-update PBT was actually 8 hrs)
...What I am saying is that the personal break timer can be set back to the original update value of 3hrs with the ability to continually push the timer back if you're actively raiding (successfully) to (arbitrary number) 5 hrs or 6 hrs.

I will tell you straight up that the reason there were complaints of so few bases in the attack queue in old Champions League was because half the players were using software while they slept that automatically collected resources and kept them online. Add in the easy sniping shields and someone could be shrouded from attackers for days or weeks at a time with only 5 minute windows where they could be hit.

6 hours became 3 hours then revised to 4 hours.
Please check your facts.

I'm not disputing people use devices to stay-alive. But that is not the issue people have with PBT. Many complained of no timer, now fixed. Many complain it's too short for the army they use. Not sure a few minutes make any difference. Many complain they can't get a PBT reset. Your idea doesn't resolve this.

I *am* saying the current PBT was implemented to free bases for the available attack queue and extending PBT will defeat that intent.
