I have been known to drop trophies to farm. The reason being, there is not enough resources either in campaign mode or against other players at my level. I've accepted that's how this game plays.
I am not hung up on the trophy count - after the last few days I have noticed some changes though. I am using more gold to search for worthy victims, and I am constantly being trophy dumped (where I am hit with one troop and they surrender). Obviously there's a few players on the move trying to find the honey pot and I don't blame them.
The game automatically finds a natural trophy level for you. If you can't win at the level your at then honestly you may be batting outside your league, drop trophies and see if its easier for you.
Having dropped trophies 4 times now, I found that within 24hrs I was back to my previous trophy level - no joke (that's the natural level I am speaking about).
It takes considerable work to maintain your trophies between a range say 800 - 900 trophies.
I am always chasing resources, so even if I know I will lose the battle but get some of the loot I will still battle. What surprised me most was that some of the battles I entered where I KNEW I was going to lose I actually ended up winning and using fewer troops.
I suggest you give it a go - give up your obsession with trophies and just chase the resources.
Happy Hunting!
NB: The christmas tree is a myth like waiting for lochness to arrive - it doesn't exist. Obviously, they are handed out sparingly - SC don't be a grinch, give one to everyone please. I do love the new spell Santa's Surprise but it really shouldn't take so long to build sigh...
It used to be that matchmaking also had to do with cityhall level. I have waited for upgrading to cityhall level 8 because of this to get stronger first before upgrading and to be able to win some matches.
now i only face level 9 cityhall vilages with the new x-bow. Only those type of villages. It is impossible to win. Really impossible. No fun in that.
drop some trophees? Ok, can be a solution, but i am playing for weeks with a certain strategy gameplay, i think lots of us are. And now we can throw that entirely away because of one update?!?!?
I have spend alot of money on gems for my strategy gameplay. All for nothing????
It really sucks, because i have to spend a lot more money on gems to update my cityhall and defence and offence if i want to maintain my hard worked trophee level.. It is not fair, at the least. There no compensation, nothing.
It like when u use a hack on a game, theres no more fun in the game anymore, thats where i am at now. I have lost the fun.
Thats sad because i am playing this game for weeks and a lot of hours a day. Really a lot.

No it didn't. Match making has always been based on trophies.
Yes, some updates force you to adapt your strategy.
The updated matchmaking scheme is useless. Although it is based on trophies, most of the players leveled down their trophies to farm. what about the lower levels? where is the improvement in competition that you are boasting? Its a total mismatch. they are preying on helpless newbies.
I love this game but it was screwed by this update.
One thing that surprised me after the update is the level of the matches. Before the update, I would scroll through villages and normally choose one with 10 trophies on offer, which were quite difficult, and I would normally get 1 or 2 stars.
Immediately after the update, there were mainly villages offering 20 to 30 trophies, that were quite easy to 3 star.
Why were they so rare before? They should have been in my range, but I hardly ever saw them.
There is a whole lot of shuffling going on right now.
I spent a lot of money in this game but its no fun anymore after this update. I quit...
I get that, and I've dropped 750 trophies as well, but immediately after the update, I was presented with so many easy targets in the same range as me.
i would just like to say thanks for the update
i am no longer being farmed by people 25 levels above me with a much greater force loosing 200k in combined resources and loosing 3 trophies........i am being farmed by people 25 levels above me with a much greater force loosing 200k in combined resources and loosing 25 trophies....well done
1 any matchmaking system that can be changed by the player (ie dropping trophies) is always going to be flawed and abused it should be based on lvl or experience or even attacking force vs defense total
2 long term you have solved nothing but dropping trophy totals. higher levels will drop trophies to farm, lower levels will drop to avoid being farmed and will farm of levels below them and thus it will continue. people will still be farmed by higher lvls and now it hits harder when you loose more trophies.
i don't care about snowy castles or magic xmas trees i dont care what santa drops from his sack (BTW 24 hours for that.....really!) i don't care about boosting resources (blatantly about money over game play) i care about the fairness and fun. fix the matchmaking properly before you come up with ways to make more money out of us. people will respect you much more for it
lvl matchmaking for the win
