    Changing matchmaking from trophies to xp

    When attacking, the opponents that come up are based in trophy range. It should be based on XP since XP measures the players time having played so if you have are level 40, a level 70 could attack you and defeat you easily. And when you attack, really hard bases come up. So by xp it would be more balanced for fair attacking, not trophies.

    That would ruin farming.
    Simple.
    And you can regulate trophies lvl, but can't regulate xp lvl. Terrible. Again no farming.

    However, this is a strangely logical idea

    It would literally ruined the guy that donated the most and become the highest level in the game, but i am sure he does nothing but donate in this game, so i guess it still good.

    What happens to the level 20 that town hall sniped to crystal? Never gets attacked! This would be unfair.

    Not only would it contribute to the slow death of donating, it would kill off farming, which is a perfectly allowed tactic in CoC, and for that reason they added leagues.

    Just to make it easier to strategise with the community by things such as farming.

    i don't like this idea. I think what should be adjusted is the matchmaking algorithm (making it more fair), Don't base it on XP

    Any alteration to matchmaking that changes it from being cup based would be decidedly unfair for a number of reasons:

    1. People with identical bases can vary wildly in skill.
    2. People with cheap low level bases would battle each other to the top while being immune to folks who have invested heavily in time and/or money on their base.

    The matchmaking algorithm is fine.

    You have to look at why people ignore trophies and fix that. Currently it is more profitable to drop trophies and attack weak or inactive players than to gain trophies and attack well fortified bases. The game needs a major change in the way its economy is structured so that folks who are th7 at 0 trophies don't make more loot per hour than folks who are th10 at 4000 trophies.

    Whats the point of having trophies if xp is used for matchmaking. That's probably the main reasons that there are trophies. Also, people would stop donating. Besides, higher players dont drop trophies so they can pick on lower players. They drop so they aren't attacked as often.
