While i see your point pedrolee, first i would ask you to come into a discussion without a pre-determined mindset on the subject. You make it clear this discussion is just another rant. However outline your points and you will see the issue.
You mention players who are not gemmers / hardcore gemmers, are nearly lvl 9 walls. Right point taken. My clan leader has nearly lvl 9 non gemmed walls
The point that should stick out like a sore thumb to you is the next step, lvl 10 walls. Virtually impossible to obtain a lvl 10 walled base without mega gemming. Now move onto TH10, whats the next step beyond current content? Still yet to be seen how extreme, however we know its another level of content ABOVE the already un-obtainable
Since we're friends im sure you see my point!
