Unbelievable

Dropping trophies will not help you, there are plenty of TH9 and TH10 at every trophy level, and even a decent TH7 can take a lot of resources. It is your play style that is hurting you. You have to stay logged in or you will get raided. It is a pain to keep hitting the screen while your troops are building, I know, but the alternative is what you are running into. Your only other option is to gem your barracks, so you have minimal wait time between attacks.

Sounds like you're a farmer, so I assume you're leaving your TH outside and unprotected?

I have a level 82, TH8 village and my trophy count hovers around 1400-1500. My TH is outside and most of the time an attacker just snipes my TH then leaves. Of course, the majority (80%?) of my walls are skull (lv8) and all of my defenses are maxed so that might have a little to do with it. Also, whenever I raid, I make sure to get at least 3 good raids in per session so that if someone does go for loot, I still end up with a net gain. Most of all, even if someone does ♥♥♥♥ me, my attitude is - it's just a game, oh well, I've done the same to someone else.

I'm finding that raising in trophies is a better solution. I was farming around silver 1/2 and would sit for long periods without shield until a th9 came and rolled through my base.

Being up higher in gold I get sniped much faster meaning there is less of a chance for a full on attack, people are just happy to get the trophies and loot bonus.

Revenge zap them as they are prolly the same ones that cry about being zapped!

Rethink what you are saying... So you want higher levels to not be able to find any loot at all?

I have lost more than 1 million elixir and gold, also 1k dark elixir from 4 straight attacks to players who are around level 100 and I am just 67. The level discrepancy should not be absurdly high. It annoys me that I can't save resources from these type of players. There should be limitations on who you can attack according to the levels, not trophies. Really irritated and my base is not a joke

Stop and consider what this would do to the leader board. Also stop and think what this would do to troop donations.

If you are unable to obtain enough resources to keep 5 builders busy at TH8 (and this is a concern of yours), you're playing the game wrong. Instead of complaining about how unfair the system is; you should go to the tactics section, post your base, explain your issue and learn how to play more effectively.

It's not circular reasoning, it's lack of reasoning. They quite literally get raided for a ton of resources and hop onto the forums to complain about it without giving any thought to the situation whatsoever.

They don't consider why the system is the way it is, or what they are doing wrong that enables the sort of issue they are having.

I can see where the op is coming from, but honestly, there's no reason to make a forum post about it. You're just gonna get a bunch of people calling you out lol. Personally, I feel as though you shouldn't be able to attack any level th you are not. Exp level pretty much indicates that a base is upgraded, this is obvious. So when you log on to find you've been attacked by some guy that's lv90, you don't even need to look at your defence log to see how much they got away with, you know they got all they could.. A lv90 dude is probably, what.. a well off th9? You shouldn't be able to rock through my th8 base and leave with any good loot. But, if we found people based on exp level and not trophies, that would kinda kill farming would it not? I mean, I'm a fresh th8, not too many things are up to th8 standards yet, still pretty much a th7 with more walls lol its not cool when I come online to see some dude took me out with a bunch of troops my base couldn't stand a chance against, and leave with like 130k gold/purp.. and I mean come on, if you can push my base over with no problem, but I cant even get into your walls, you shouldn't be able to attack me. That's not an unreasonable conclusion lol. Idk, I'm half on one side of this debate and half on the other..

The league system it's massively flawed. The people who defend it are too complacent and not able to consider better alternatives.

The system that they use to rank a player in the war map can be translated into the match making system. Then this becomes more of a strategy game on equal terms. There are too many bottom feeders out there who rely on troops that are overly strong for their targets. I rarely attack a th lower than mine because it's not much of a challenge.

Hi,

level has no relationship to strength, I know many TH8s over lvl 100 and they got that from donations.

The Townhall based loot penalty is the best way of making the game fair.

To give you an example if i as TH10 were to attack you as TH8 I would only get 50% of what someone at TH8 would get from you - this is the dis-incentive for me to attack you.

Hope that helps.
