My take on elimination of the experience levels

[Siv75]

The average farmer usually has a hidden agenda to go for trophies once nearly maxxing his TH to competitive levels. So what the OP is saying is that Supercell wants to delay the effort for farmers to transition to trophy hunting?

I'm sorry, try and hold my breath, I don't do so well at above 1900 trophies. My lvl6 units are still on their way and this strategy, if true, has most certainly delayed any intention of me competing for trophies any time soon. With the reduced loot, I can dream of using the troops I once did when I was TH8. I miss playing with dragons... it back to archers and barbs for now.

The leagues don't make sense if I can get onto a higher or lower league within a "season", and if there are no rewards for being the top player in my league? There's no competition whatsoever actually, more like luck if you can get the exact amount of cup to be at the top without getting promoted. Supercell said its for us to track our own progress. Well, we could already do that with the old ranking system, couldn't we ... LOL. In fact, in the old system, we could see how far away we were in the grand scheme of thing.

We all want to kick Jorge Yao off that top spot one ... farmers are farming so they can one day trophy hunt. Trophy hunters are getting better and better to get to that penultimate spot to challenge the numero uno! Supercell agrees, that's why they give gems there, and nothing for the leagues.

Please stop making new polls about levels and new threads too

Yes, people should stop making threads about levels.

Yes, people should stop making threads about levels.

Allow me to reiterate and highlight. I've been bored with the forums for the last three days or so with the same topics coming up in different threads.

How true is it, there are 10s of new threads and hundreds on comments from the time I posted the thread

you don't understand what kings4ever at all. Maybe he write alot and confused u. Put it simple, he is saying last time "level" used to be a good bait to attract people to join clan. Now "black badge" will be the new bait. thats simple.

Certainly a very possible analysis, and a way to steer the mindset of the general population to the intended path, "Trophy Hunting".

A quick 10 mins into matchmaking before the league update shows that majority of the bases that we encounter at 1200~1700 are with TH inside.

Meaning the "farmer" population is actually not that huge.

However, these "farming" players, are actually the majority of the forumites in this forum.

Chances are, casual players who do not do any research on this game, or come to the forums, will not go far.
Maybe 1800 trophy at best ?

So what they are trying to do, as per your analysis, is to kill off the farming population, and hopefully convert all to trophy hunters.

Kinda ironic isn't it ?

Sorry for the long rant.

I did not quote jun's detailed and well thought of reply. Lol, how true is my blue pill reference in light of your comments of farmers converting cup hunters to farming. I was a noob, still am but thats not the point, when i joined the forum. Lot of things that I did not knew because of being one of senior member of the clan,i learned here from all of you. Now, i ask everyone to adopt SOP's of farming i learned in clans, global, etc.

Not only SC has hit farming, below the belt, but also forced trained minds of farmers out of forums. They even made Daddy switch side before the update (now u know whats like getting hit below the belt SC, sorry for this reference but I had to make a point).

My humble request is to leave farmers alone, DON'T KILL GOLDEN GOOSE

If they kill farming a vast majority of players will leave.

Actually, thats a false mindset.

As said in my post in the first page, the farmer population is actually very small.
I would even go as far to say that people outside this forum do not farm, in the sense of running a farming base with th outside, or purposely dropping trophies to find better loot.

Even in the forum, we have trophy hunters.
So farmers are actually a subset of the members in this forum if you think of it this way.

So we farmers, are actually a minority of the players.

As said, a quick search on matchmaking before the league update, already shows tons of bases with th inside.

Only on rare occasion where I meet a real "farmer" base.

True, didnt think of it like that... Would be a shame to kill farming though.

hmmm? farmers = golden goose? says who. it should be the other way round. Golden goose are those people who dun like/ no time to slowly farm and instead buy GEMS to upgrade their base. now u know y farmers got no stand at all.

Do the maths, 1000 ppl spending $100 daily or 100,000 ppl spending $10 daily
