Bonuses for Winning Defenses

[oceanicsaladbar]

At present there is no benefit to winning a defense if you're farming or don't care for trophies. You still lose your resources and your traps are still triggered and if your base was exceptionally good, you don't even get a shield. You essentially get punished for having a good base; multiple people can continue attacking you and stealing your resources and forcing you to pay to rearm traps as long as they don't 1 star.

Maybe there can be some reward for winning a defense. Perhaps you receive the league loot bonus that one would usually get for an offensive win or you get reimbursed when you reset your traps, or possibly even getting a percentage of the stolen amount returned as a bonus.
Constantly winning defenses isn't necessarily a good thing; there needs to be some compensation for the loot lost.

I am all for a league bonus for a successful defense win.

Because yes, the system is completely flawed in that unless you are doing a bona fide trophy push you do not want to play defense. Instead you stay online anyway possible or throw your hall out to prevent losing loot.

If the game gave some defensive reward players would be less inclined to use whatever tactics, legit or not to hide from the queue.

We want players with good loot in the attack queue longer. And I do believe awarding loot for a successful defense is the answer to so many of the games problems.

A typical counter argument is players would get 'free loot from trophy dumpers'. But it is easily resolved by programming the game so that if you win a defense against a player using 2 or more troops/spells you get the bonus.

That would be pretty sweet. I farm myself but I don't see why somebody shouldn't win awards for a nice setup. I keep myself in crystal 1-2 because I handle my revenges and there are a lot of TH snipers who are weak. But I don't just think about myself playing the game. I say they should do it. Then people could protect their TH and try to make some bonuses while they're offline. Give people a chance to actually try to beat you etc.

I'm going to also have to agree, defense bonus would be great addition! With how hard it is to win defense, especially at higher trophy counts it would not be that common if a thing but it would change the idea of farming completely which would could lead to a much more interesting game play for the active players.

Well I am farming, but I am not "hiding from the queue" - that's an exaggeration.
I have HEAPS of defenses because I will happily break a shield and raid twice in 10 minutes then leave and come back later.
I am visible to the queue several times a day, it's not my fault my maxed TH9 doesn't appeal to many people in Crystal III as a target is it?

No defensive reward is ever going to match what a good farmer can make...

Sure you do, I do as well. But many farmers & cup hunters do not.

And it's not supposed to match what a good farmer can make, but it's a step in the right direction to make proper defense more appealing for both farmers and cup hunters.

Love this idea, there was another thread that I liked saying you'd get a reward if someone nexts you, like half of the next price since all that gold goes in the wind anyway.
