Farming is a means to an end, not an unchanging foundation fo the game. People in camp 2 are following the profits, even if that means trophy hunting in the future.
    But I don't understand why the main goal of the game is to have the highest trophy count. What do you gain by having the highest amount of trophies?

    I don't know, I'd rather "have fun by upgrading my base as much as possible."

    If gaining trophies makes it easier to do that, would you raise your trophies? Yes. Then there is no problem.

    Once the bonuses are adjusted, all will be well.

    You're right.

    But they better adjust those bonuses!

    Adjusting the bonuses would only be a significant change at the higher trophy levels. Say the doubled each bonus, Silver I would be getting 5,000 each per successful raid.

    There is good loot in Silver I, and I'm sure everywhere else - and it should make up for the bonuses. How much are you reallly gaining with those extra resources?

    Very true. Totally agree.

    And they will probably find a better balance soon. I hope.

    That's the point of this game, why is it hard to understand? Why is the king so important in chess? If I like why can't I just take all the the pawns and be the winner?
