[Petition] We don't like the new update

Farming

First let me clarify that I'm not saying that TH sniping is the solution. I think it's cheap and it's really not the game's intention. However, there are several consequences to the removal of the update that have drastically changed the game for the worse:

1. People who didn't have time to farm (and they were a quite a few) and used TH sniping as a farming method, are now joining the farmers.
2. The loot you can get from dead bases (from mines/collectors/drills) are much higher than the loot you can get from storages. This is because you usually won't need spells for dead bases and you can use goblins/barbs/archers/minions (cheap troops) compared to expensive giants, spells, golems, wizards, etc.
3. The new system makes us defend more and we're loosing more loot.
4. Because we're defending more, our heroes die often and we can't use them in a lot of raids (they die on defense)
5. The upgrades in this game (especially the walls and heroes) are extremely expensive
6. The collectors/mines are basically worthless for upgrades. I'm a TH11 with max heroes/walls and the highest level for them is lvl 9 and they're mostly level 4 or 5.
7. League bonuses are not enough to convince people to try to climb trophies or stay high up for loot.

Due to the facts pointed above, a high number of players are looking for loot, this reduces available dead bases. Other people (including me) have tried going for the storages but due to the cost of troops and spells and also because hero regeneration time is very high, it's not a very effective method to farm. I'm a TH11 and for me with boosted hero/spell, I can raid every 20 minutes. However I have to spend around 140K on troops (giant barch) and around 100K on spells which makes 240K elixir spent! Now you have to admit, sometimes you lose a raid and basically it near impossible to farm elixir for the new warden. How many attacks should I do in a day? Consider the fact that I have to go to defense every 4 hours!

When people don't find dead bases and going to the center of the base for storage is not cost efficient either what do they do? They go to another league and try their luck. This is the main reason for so many players dropping trophies to go to lower leagues (all the way to the bronze and silver leagues) for loot. And when so many of them do that, well, the loot in lower trophies disappear too. I'm sure Supercell can verify this with their statistics.

Clearly with the new system, certain flaws in the game (which have been previously remedied with TH sniping) have been emerged and with the current state of the game, I cannot imagine anyone (anyone with a life at least) being able to farm their bases to a max base.

War
TH8 and below have always been unbalanced. In TH7 you basically drop 10 drags and zap one of the ADs. That's it, 3 star. TH8 was somewhat competitive but not that much. TH9 however, was the most balanced TH in the game. The addition of the new spell and 30 seconds have ruined this balance though. TH10 was never remotely close to being balanced and the new TH11 is obviously not either. Right now with a bunch of tweaks (being more spells or new troops/levels) TH10 is very close to being a balanced TH for war.

My recommendation:

1. Remove the extra time and spell from TH9 and below to restore the balance to the game.
2. Add a few troop levels to TH10 and TH11. For instance Hog 6, Golem 6, Lava 4. These will hopefully balance the new THs. Of course I'm not an expert in war but there are lots of people that Supercell can get help from.

Trophy pushing
As much as Supercell loves trophy pushers and they're getting the most attention from the devs, I don't see "clouding" being gone either. It still sucks to trophy push (even after league reset) and they're having troubles too. I'm guessing it's because a lot of people are dropping trophies and the pool of players are getting smaller. Maybe I'm wrong though.


So now, we need to make our voice heard. Anyone who doesn't agree with the new politics in the game please add a reply to this thread so Supercell can see we are not liking the new update.
