My take on elimination of the experience levels

[Junliang]

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

It was a rant on my thought process.. sorry for not summarising it nicely for you guys lol.

Same here.. when I started the game, i didn't know of the forum as well.
Even at th6, my town hall was still within my walls, because its seem like the most "natural" thing to do.

But after entering the forum was when I realise, why did I protect this chunky 4x4 building for ?...

I did prepare for the worst, attempted on hybrid bases, even tried 2 of them.
But the concept behind trophy hunting is basically:
1) Be very active and online as long as possible
2) Raid win more than loss in defense
3) Stay on shield as long as possible

Seriously puts me off.

I initially thought the idea of trophy hunting, atleast at 2k region, was that your base can atleast stand up to raids by TH9.

But oh hoho, was I wrong, terribly wrong.

Its not a matter of how good your base layout is.
Its not a matter of how good your defense level are.

What matters is basically just these 3 points again.
1) Be very active and online as long as possible
2) Raid win more than loss in defense
3) Stay on shield as long as possible

Its pointless. seriously.

Initially, my goal was to farm for resources as a none-gemmer, then move on to trophy hunting once my base is max out at th9.

But as shown above, the main "fun" for me actually lies in farming.

Anyway, I disagree that farmers are supercell's golden goose, gemmers are.
In fact, we are the opposite. We are the people who encourage people not to gem.

Supercell should really think about the consequence of asking more people to join the forums.
More people joining forums = more farmers = more uproar = more unhappy people.

Anyway, shall take my leave on this level/xp/league/loot issue.
Seems like supercell made up their mind anyway.
Nothing we can do except to adapt.

Just raided this.
Certainly not something those "loot bonus" can compensate for.

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

u spend $10 daily as a farmer? Buy what? Your statement is very flawed. For a typical farmer, they only spend $10 ONCE to buy builder, or max $50 to buy builders. Then after which these group of people typically do not buy gems anymore and only focus on farming to upgrade base. These are the people who are no longer consider "contributing" or spending $10 daily. lol. And of cos these people are what i described as "lost their stand".

It may be flawed but picture this, there are so many people out there who spend bucks as they love to play, not that they are forced to do so. What SC is attempting to do is force them to pay or stay unhappy. Its actually against the basic principle that made the game successful, make a free game or everyone who invests time. Invest money only if u can't spare time.

Cup hunting is only way o go and gemming only way to do that. lets see where th tunnel ends

Forcing you to gem? ♥♥♥? I don't remember Supercell coming to my house in a Barbarian costume with a kitchen knife right at my throat.

naah it was an archer queen with a gun.

@ Jun

In case SC wants to reduce cup hunters converting to farmers by visiting the forum, they may as well close the forum. You are not wrong to asuume that, I also think it may be their thinking. BTW, nice loot

[silentwill]

That'd be a Gunner Queen pinser.

I have no problem with cup hunting, I don't farm because I enjoy beating noobs all day, there's no competition. As farmers we search for weak players with lots of loot and we "beat em up and take their lunch money". It does get boring, but what else is there to do? How do we upgrade our items when there are no resources to steal? Not to mention running out of elixir around 2400 if we are lucky to have not run out by this point. I see farming as a purgatory one can't escape without spending solely to get resources, and I have no issue with the idea of spending, only that I don't have the constant flow of $$$ needed to stay refilled on elixir alone and that is my issue, not SC's as many proclaim when asking for gem sales. I seriously doubt SC would release an update that allows for more resources higher up because that would infringe on the need to spend for the high count players. So from the points ive just stated, I don't see how SC thought that a shield would make anyone who farms stop. Just my opinion.
