Update to stop higher players farming/raiding smaller players.

[Mooka73]

I think farming should be stopped. Once a player has reached a league, no matter how many trophies they lose they don't drop out of that league. This will help lower level players build up their towns and enjoy the game more without being raided all the time by players with towns, that are that big they obviously should be in a much higher league. Players deliberately loose trophies to drop leagues to be able to attack much smaller/lower level players for loot. I'm a gold league player and get regularly attacked by players that obviously should be in crystal and master leagues. I also get regularly attacked by 1 archer for example, just so that person looses the battle and looses trophies. All this is great for high level players but is increasingly frustrating for lower players trying to build everything up. I know a few players that have stopped paling due to this. Thanks for reading.

From my understanding, farming is raiding loot rich abandoned bases. They have all the loot in the mines and collectors, with thier storages long since emptied, and now are just loot havens for others. I guess you could use the term for regularly overpowering lower level bases...

Anyway, it is a surprisingly complex issue, and I can't really give any good advice for right now (for one, it is very late here ). Also, be prepared for people to give negative feedback on this thread Most see it as whining, and treat it as such. I actually see it as evidence of one of the problems I've noticed, so it's actually understandable from my point of view.

out of context, you're basically saying that the game should shutdown

This guy need a single player game.

So you only raid equivalent level bases or higher for your loot? I doubt it....

Think it won't change any time soon - 10's smack 9's, the 9's smack 8's, and so on down the food chain... everyone else has managed so far, they all made it -so can you. (Even at the start of the game, you have to pick on the poor underpowered goblins)

The idea of only attacking your own th level is a non starter in my opinion....

The system is fair enough at the moment because of the loot-calculation system.

And this works so:

I´m a TH8 at the moment, relatively fresh, but I have had a nearly maxed TH7 before. The maximum loot is calcuated so:

At first they calculate 20% of what is in the storages. If I attack a TH8 I could get 100% of those 20%. If I attack a TH7(-1 TH level) I could get 90% of the 20%. If I attack a TH6(-2 TH levels) I could get 50% of the 20% and 25% of the 20% if I attack a TH5(- 3TH levels).
And I could get 110% of the 20% if I attack a TH9 or 150% of the 20% if I attack a TH10.

I´ve been attacked sometimes from higher level players, but only when a I stored tons of Gold/Elexir. Try to spend your ressources as fast as you can.

The system you suggest wouldn´t work. What if a TH 6 has been attacked very often in the night and won every battle and suddenly he is in Crytsal 2 league? I know its an extreme example, but nevermind. It would destroy the game for him because he barely will find any opponents he could attack and could not go back to silver 1 or sth like this...

Also if I choose to get the gem-bonus with my TH8 and get to master-league once, but want to go back to gold-league because I´m a farmer normally, not a trophy hunter?

No, everybody should be able to choose the league where he is comfortable.

I don´t know which TH level you are, but perhaps you should go back to silver-league if you don´t want to be attacked often?

Everyone starts small in this game. All have been pounded on by higher level villages and yes.... It is frustrating. However that is the way the game is played. Earn fast and spend quick is a good plan. Even th10s face maxed 10s and could also say that exact same thing. Better troops better spells etc. All is not fair in love an war..... And this is war!!

I still think their calculations/caps need work. I'm a TH8 in a high league and I get 100%ed by TH9 and TH10's every 16hrs (I get attacked immediately after my shield runs out)! I lose so many trophies and so much loot! I never don't get 100%ed (even with my TH and elixir storages outside my walls). The trophies they get (and the trophies I lose) should be reduced significantly and they shouldn't get quite as much loot.

I think farming should be stopped.

Try putting your town hall on the outside if it isn't there already, and design a good base with a central CC and some obvious possible traps. These changes will stop 90% of the smack-downs. As for the other 10%, yes sometimes you get clobbered by bigger players and I hope you are clobbering smaller players to make up for it. :-)

If you don't like the food chain situation that is going on, maybe if some people helped develop the ideas in this thread (http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...her-Risk-Raids) it could help change the current behavior of players to something more fun for everyone.
