Trophy system has major flaws...

[CptnObvious48]

this game is seriously flawed. trophies are a complete waste of time. here's why... raiding someones village needs to work like the wars do. u get awarded loot based on how well u attack them. u are matched up based on your own strengths and town hall level. not matched up based on how many trophies u have. the trophy leagues are flawed because all u have to do is purposely lower your trophy count and attack easy targets and steal their hard earned resources. its stupid that u have to go against the game design and lower your trophies on purpose to get ahead in the game. i cant tell u how many times i wake up in the morning to find 200k gold and elixir gone because someone ranked up and leveled up much higher than me raided me simply because his trophies are close to the same level. that makes the game extremely unfair. if i have over 600k in resources, im garenteed that im gettin raided. how am i suppose to save up resources for better upgrades when it gets taken all the time? if its setup like the wars, nobody loses resources, u get awarded resources trophies and a few gems, and then trophy count would actually. yes i understand that ultimately the game is designed to make real money off of people and they want u to buy shields to overcome this problem. this is why its flawed. it even says in the opening of the game where it gives game tips "keep fighting for those trophies!" for what?! its not like im being rewarded for earning them!! this puts me in a higher league level which gets me raided even more by people who aren't my level. this needs to change

welcome to the forums.

Nope, you need to change. The trophy system is quite well refined already.

You're not the first to suggest this and you won't be the last.

the fact that you believe trophies don't matter will make this next suggestion even more important for you.

Here it is. Leave your townhall outside in a corner, surrounded by decorations. that's right, do no protect your town hall. Why? Because there are so many players who are simply trying to increase their trophy count. They will come across your base, destroy your town hall, then quite their attack, giving you a nice 12-hour shield for the cost of a measly 1000 gold and 1000 elixir, approximately. You will be surprised how often attacks like this will happen to you instead of full-raids against you.

This is most important when you go to bed, since you can't rearm traps or refill your clan castle.

Give it a try for a couple days, see how often you get attacked this way.

If you keep losing or getting attacked, what I would do is

1. Make a better base. This may not be a problem, but this maybe why your being attacked.

2. Spend your resources before you log off! If you have a builder doing nothing and you have a lot of gold, work on walls. If you have a ton of elixir, make a expensive army.

3. Drop your trophies. You will find easier targets while not being attacked as much.

Cannot comprehend.

Though I do agree with others in not liking the format and that it is likely you need to do the town hall outside thing and have better layouts, I do agree with the idea as well.

I do not understand why town hall tens are in leagues where you see town hall fives mostly and such. I do not like it and the best argument I have for that is the fact of people purposely lowering trophy count. It could be seen as abusing the system in that aspect and as such could be changed.

I thought SuperCell did a god job of determining how the clan wars are matched up...what would be wrong with a system like that finds players closer to where you are in the game for regular attacks, as opposed just going by trophies? And the other poster is right about making sure your base is covered and taken care of, but some times it just flat out doesnt matter when someone 20 levels above you comes in and completely rolls your base with higher level troops because they choose to keep their trophies down to have an easier time collecting loot. Im not that bothered by it, and I still go for trophies, but I definitely think the OP has a point.

The trophy system is set up to be abused unfortunately. Seems to me the only incentive to go for the trophies is war loot bonus, which isnt even that great (at least not where I am)
