So if there are no plans to change it of course people who are unhappy with it are going to express their discontent and continue to make threads like this.
Its not as if SC had turned around and said they are 'working on it'. Its also not like they ruled it out. All in all that quote doesn't substantiate to anything, if anything it just eggs on threads like this, and zapping threads have never been closed unless they got out of hand. So where do you fellow members of the forums get off telling people to pipe down and stop complaining?
Pretty much EVERYONE's revenge list is full of people on shield or online. Yet do you complain about those you can't revenge yet they took your gold? So what you lost some DE. Go raid someone else and steal it from them, or do you just sit there and never raid, relying on your drills/mines/collectors to progress in the game?
Classic Joke:
Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do THIS! Doctor: Well, don't do that!
Clash of Clans version:
Player: It hurts when I play in Legend League. Logic: Well, don't do that!
Now your argument is that it's not viable to trophy push via zapping. Before you were arguing it's not possible. I was just pointing out that you werent even being accurate in making your argument. I personally don't think spending hours of your time and tens of thousands of your elixir for less than a thousand de is a viable way to farm but that's beside the point. Because any similarity or difference between the two is incidental as they are two completely different systems that operate in completely different ways.
The problem youre having is that the two practices are completely different. Zapping one of nine storages shouldnt be compared to zapping a townhall for cups. It makes no logical sense as much as you try to shoe horn them together. If there was one single storage and one single type of resource maybe your analogy would be somewhat relevant. But right now your entire argument is flawed because you're comparing two things that are fundamentally different.
Zapping is not ruining farming. You know how I know? Everyone is able to farm and obtain their building objectives. Even among zapping complainers, Ive never heard one say it's ruining the game until now. It's been what two years since lightning had been the game? If the spell is ruining the game for you it's going about it very slowwwwwwly. In a couple more years you may even be ready to quit! What I am saying is that it is just as ridiculous to say that de zapping ruins the game any more than th9s attacking me when I was th8.
Yeah? Im in masters 3 and haven't been zapped for de in 6 or 7 hundred cups. You stop saying ridiculous things like lightning is ruining farming. Or that zapping de storages in gold 3 is somehow the same as hypotjetically zapping a townhall above 4000 cups for a star.
A th9 farming weak th8s in silver or gold and getting mad about zapping is like a th7 in crystal 1 being upset that th9s can 3 star him for 50 cups with barch.
It's not relevant but it's also not the same. Your orginal argument was that the common ground between farmers and pushers is they want either loot or cups. Somehow you jumped to the conclusion that de storages and townhalls should be treated the same with regards to zaps. I was merely trying to point out that in war you arent raiding for cups at all. Yeah you get stars but there is no individual cup gain, winning occurs by team aggregate star count. And often times you arent coming out ahead in resources, if you donate heavily youre often just exchanging elixir and de for gold.
You can have whatever opinion you want about zapping. Don't get snarky with me because your insistence on trying to equate de storages and townhallls makes no sense whatsoever. Youve posted that argument several times in these threads and I cant recall anyone ever agreeing with your premise.
