    Let me ask you this

    Just walk away.

    Also you just see your situation. All can not be in champions league. Can THEY?!

    Do do you gleefully attack lower level bases than you? knowing full well they cannot attack back with any hope of recovering losses? Do you drop trophies in order to be in a league with lower level townhalls in order to steal loot off of easier to beat villages? Doesn't it bug you when someone way above you does 100% damage stealing all available loot and you got no hope of attacking back?

    If so then expect to get zapped by th7 and up and others within same league doing the same thing you are. Lootin is a major part of the game. Upgrade your DE storage so less is zapped. Learn to farm at your own level. And realize that they only stole a bit of game generated currency. It's not like they actually robbed your house.

It isn't much of a stretch from kick and scream because I want <fill in the blank> to zapping to get attention on the internet.

    There is nothing counter-productive about not being able to zap de efficiently (and yes it clearly is efficient for some people, otherwise they wouldn't do it).

    I was responding to the comment about lvl130+ players zapping and having a leaderboard thread about it. Yes, zapping is counterproductive. The elixir spent by a lvl130+ player on lightning spells can very easily be turned into a multi-star win with much higher net and gross earnings (depending on the number of nexts). I understand why TH7-8 zap but I can think of almost no scenario where a high level TH10 could explain how zapping has a tangible benefit.

    My thoughts exactly, I do not zap. I prefer to go for all the loot. That is why I made that thread....unfortunately...it has turned into a "I'm a lvl 100+ and I zap all the time and I'm proud of it thread".... proof that zapping is across the board....and letting everyone know passively who are the zappers in that lvl 100+ range....lol

    Oh that makes sense
    But there are two scenarios where they can benefit from zapping.
    • If they suck so bad that it is actually better than their sorry attempts to raid for it
    • If they barch collectors only and don't need spells, in this case the zaps would just be an extra de income on the side, and if they only zap when they have 5 spells then when they have 1-4 it can be used for an extra % if needed.

    Another benefit can be the simple warm-n-fuzzy smile you get when you zap a revenge knowing it will annoy the victim enough to complain about it here. Not impossible, but a high TH10 has a lot more options for getting a return on that elixir than TH7-8. Options that will usually be far more beneficial.

    I should be, but I don't have to be. Unfortunately, we don't live in Shouldland. 😜

    Perfectly stated. There is only one way a TH6/7 can revenge a TH9+, and that's lightning.

    Taking it it out of the game would only serve to encourage people to drop trophies to prey on the weak.

    As for me, I'm having a blast right now, farming around 2,800-2,900 trophies. Loot doesn't even matter. I'm farming the league bonus.
