Why is it that people seem to brag about high trophies at low town halls?

[vincentboy]

it's easy in theory, just go for snipe or 50% easy bases, we just need time.

is that what you think?

then you are completely wrong.

try it for yourself to look for TH snipe or easy bases in 3000+ trophy, i doubt you even find one in 1000 nexts.

[meowr]

Ive only done it by barching for 50, it isn't hard. You just have to wait for the right bases.

So what you're saying, is that you are no better than the low level TH snipers.

They press Next over and over and over again, until they find a base they can snipe.
YOU press Next over and over and over again, until you find a base you can barch.

The reason people push trophies, is to see how high they can get. At some point, you WILL hit a wall... and it doesn't really matter if you're sniping, barching, looning, GoWiPeing, or whatever. You WILL hit it. And it will take a considerable amount of time/effort to gain a little more.

If you didn't hit the wall, you didn't really push yourself.

Im saying that we are the same. The use of patience by snipers vs the use of skill by higher town halls doesn't make any difference in the accomplishment of getting to champion league. I'm saying that the accomplishment is more important, but if you look at the method to get there you'll see that the lower player just advanced by charity from higher players.

In fact, id say it is more impressive for someone to buy a car by saving up money through working, rather than begging on the street for. Few dollars for hours at a time and eventually buying a car.

Good players spend just as much time farming as pushing, the difference... pushing just takes a different kind of dedication.

Btw, I 50% loon in champs, pretty much 350k each without the bonus... Its fairly effective.

I absolutely agree.

Just corrected myself, I sounded fairly indifferent

Kind of a contradictory statement there....
Which is it?
Is the "accomplishment" more important?
Or the "method" in which they achieve the accomplishment?

You seem to forget that a lot of low level snipers are alternate accounts. They're doing it, just to do it.
A low TH level sniper in Champs has to put in a lot more hours into the game than a TH10 (with any army).
Some people find the "grind" itself, a challenge.

I remember, when I finished old school NES games, I would replay them with self-made limitations.
I would try to finish with only one life.
I would try and get 99 lives.
I would finish a level with the fastest time possible.
Just because other people are trying to accomplish something using other means/methods that what you approve of, doesn't meant it's any less of an accomplishment to them.

I'm saying the accomplishment is more important. That's why I said I think it's weird that people say "I got to champion at town hall 8" or things like that. If they want to argue that it is harder at low town halls, that is no true it is just going to take more patience.

I already addressed people who choose to disregard the ToS and have two accounts earlier.

Yes it is an accomplishment to reach champion league.

Length of time it takes/needing more patience to accomplish something does factor into whether something is harder. The whole concept of pushing is about patience anyways and more is needed with lower TH level.

Also, willingly handicapping yourself and making things harder/longer makes that accomplishment more impressive. Otherwise, it's like saying a guy who goes under water lasting as long as another guy who has a scuba tank isn't impressive because the guy willingly handicapped himself by not taking a tank with him.

Anyways, whether something is brag worth/impressive is subjective. Someone could shoot 3 pointers in basketball all day and it wouldn't seem impressive to me since I know nothing about basketball

[FireSauce]

I only pushed trophies once, to get the masters 1000 gem kicker. Not sure there is any other reason.

League bonus? Nothing compared to FULL-COLLECTOR bonus!

IMO, the point of the game is to farm, in order to improve your base to protect your loot, in order to build a powerful army, in order to farm more loot.
