CHEAP SHIELDING: How does it work? Sign Up to STOP IT!

[thisismine]

Here's the thing: nothing stops others from using the same method, other than they themselves.

For this reason the only solution is that we stop doing it. Someone has to take the first step, and i took mine.
Most people will do it the easier it will be to fight this bad habit. You can not prevent others from offering cheap shields, but you can set a good example to those. And if your clan leader says to you find me and 40%ed me, you say:"I prefer not to do it, it's against my ideas about the game!"

They are hoping that one of their friends find them so they get a cheap shield?

Just like how a farmer throws out his town hall and hoping someone snipe their town hall and go.

Sorry BUT this is not HOPING lol
They send 50 people to find them at the same time in a league where the available matches are almost 0.
What are you talking about?

[thisismine]

That is how you see it.

Maybe let me explain how I see it.

Farmer
1) A farmer leave his TH outside
2) He hope someone will come and snipe his TH and go
3) If its successful; Gain: 12 hours shield Loss: 1000 gold/elixir and some trophy (insignificance)

Champ
1) A champ leave his clan
2) He hope his clan mates or friends find him to give him cheap shield
3) If its successful; Gain : some trophies Loss: some resources in the process (insignificance)


Both did something with an intention of achieving something that will benefits oneself. Both had done something that is not what the game intended them to do (of course, the farmers will say otherwise...Lol)

That is how I see what both is doing. I am not condemning the champs nor the farmers. Both exploit the game mechanics to the fullest to advance the game to their most desired position(Trophys for champs and resources for farmers).

But what I don't get is why one side can relentlessly blame the other side when they are doing something similar in nature (Of course the farmers will again say its not similar)

Going by my definition, its similar but going by yours, it might not.

Not trying to prove anything here but just trying to show that there are other ways of looking at things and insisting/proving on your way is right may not be always right...

You didn't understand the problem.
CoC let you place your buildings how you want: you can put your TH where you want, you can put it in the center or in a corner. This is not the problem.
CoC let you leave a clan: you can leave a clan and stay in your clan alone. This is not against the rules and it's not the problem.
THE PROBLEM is not the player that receive the cheap shield:
the problem are the people that INTENTIONALLY SKIP 10/20/30/40 villages even if they are easy to destroy or full of loot TO FIND a specific village and stop their attack at 40%. This is not how the game is designed to be played. You can say everything you want but you can not hide that they have searched THAT SPECIFIC VILLAGE, NOT AN INCTIVE ONE, NOT A FARMER ONE, NOT AN EASY ONE, but THAT ONE!!!

Moe (3.1K) just got attacked by a clannie who is @ 3.8K - that's a 700 trophy disparity.

And you can check with Daddy what was Pasta's trophy count when he attacked Daddy while he was in M1.

Sure, we have alliances / family clans & we hope that they can find us,
but I know for a fact that many of my clannies @ 3.7K and above MOSTLY get tooled by people from outside.
It really is rare that we get to find one another.

I appreciate the reply. Thanks Maggie. I'm sure I've read it somewhere, maybe it was 800 trophies different in Champs League.

Purely out of my own interest, what would your clan / guys and gals think of the following: should Supercell remove the "End Battle" button from Champs League? Ie: should they get rid of the ability to "go easy" on someone when attacking and abolish alliance damage control?

I'm not trying to troll, I genuinely want to know what is the opinion of high level players. It seems that if you're not part of the right clique you will always struggle.

Now that is a very interesting idea ... I like it. Not the end battle however, just the surrender button, and then perhaps only between 40% & 50% damage. The attacker should have the option to preserve his hero's strength.

I too am curious about a champs perspective here.

But not a cheap shielding champ,we need players who play the game fairly to comment

I like that from this thread is coming something constructive and not hate and spam like in other similar threads.
I like your idea too, but I have a doubt: a player could go in battle with only 1 archer and then wait until the 3 minutes end and it's the same thing of a cheap shield...

Lemme put another situation to you Stitch...

...supposing I am @ 49% with no more troops, 1 min left on the timer
(and we know that happens to the best of us)
and I send my nice L21 Queen out to take that last 1%
(and I always aim for only 50%)

should I then be punished by having her die even though I have already gotten my 50%?!

And for those of you who are not in the know, a L21 Queen takes 140 mins to regenerate!
(S S, you have L30+ heroes!)

That's just waiting to bite each and every one of us in the behind when we
(or more specifically you)
decide to trophy hunt.

A thread about how to solve cheap shielding,
started by somebody who has never trophy hunted.
This is what we get.

That's not a problem, just make it appear at 50%.
The problem however is that it wouldn't solve anything, people would just reach 40-49% and wait out the time, pretty much the only solution would be to remove the 40% shield for higher levels. Sure it would be annoying not to get a shield at 40% but I'd Think it's Worth it to stop the chéáters..

With your posts you are only showing your negative attitude towards other players. Try to be propositional and don't continue to bullying me because, as I said, I have never trophy hunted with this account but nothing prevents me to have a secret second identity.
