Zappers

[jacobson2]

This seems like an issue with the little guy being able to hurt the bully. but the bully wants to be invulnerable to the little guy.


If it's part of the game, there is nothing to criticize about it. Raiding is part of the game. Revenge is part of the game. Give me some constructive criticism about that. I want neither to happen to me, but it does.

zapping is what the little guy has against the big guy. let them have it.

I can't say I agree with you. Loot penalties mean it isnt worth while trying to get my DE back? I dont wish to be invulnerable, just able to defend myself would be nice?

Saying its a part of the game is completely redundant . . .

Creating this thread in the first place is completely redundant. So by default every reply is by it's very nature going to be redundant. I will however expand on the "it's part of the game" argument by stating that zapping is actually GOOD for the game and should be allowed to continue even if a few numerically challenged TH10's still use it ineffectively.

I'd love to know why you think any of that? How is it good? Am i right to think you are one of those zappers and aren't TH10 atm?

If loot were easy to gain(and keep) we would all have maxed bases....just raid, as you said...

Being a zapper at TH9 is not a reason to stay at TH9. TH10, unless everything is maxed, you get less loot and you get paired up against tougher clans in war. Losing 10% in DE from a zap is no big deal.

If it wasn't good, SC would of done something about it. Much like the Elixir Wall upgrade issue not long ago.

If everyone thinks, including SC, that there is a problem with zapping, then SC has obviously rated it low on the priority list.

Loot penalties is transparent to me. If I can take back more than what they stole, then that sets them back, which is revenge to me. This is why I do not attack someone more powerful than me, AND I revenge anyone less powerful than me. I have already learned my lesson, not to revenge someone more powerful than me because it's not profitable. You can't win everything.

Yeah that's a more reasonable suggestion. I get 3 starred quite often tho, even with relatively high defences, so I'd argue that it's not exactly easy to keep my loot even without zappers

drop down in trophies. You'll get attacked less often by more powerful TH's. Not saying that it won't get attacked by more poweful TH's, just less often. That is what I do.

In the span of 39 defense logs that span to 13 days 4 hours and 10 minutes, the most anyone has taken from me is 22780 in Elixir on one day, 10037 in gold on another day, and 897 in DE on another day (yes, that was zapped). My attack log is considerably higher in loot, in the 200k ranges. It's not hard to keep your loot when your trophy range is lower that it should be.

Losing 10% DE from a zap isn't that bad, no. Lightening doesn't strike twice tho, it strikes every time I go offline, which adds up... I struggle to gain DE if I can't be on constantly.

This is only a problem in gold league I have found, because it's where all the zappers habitate.. Should I be penalised for wanting to be in a lower league?

I'm sure SC experience of being TH10 prodominately is being in crystal or masters, which is why they don't see it as often?

It's good for the game because it encourages higher level players to play in higher trophy leagues. You said it yourself. In Masters you log off and get immediately attacked. So the obvious solution is to drop trophies where you are less likely to get attacked. But this where most low level players reside. These players have literally zero chance against your base so their ONLY course of action is to zap you.

You say you don't want to be invincible, but your posts say otherwise. You don't want to get attacked frequently, but at the same time want to bully low level players and not get zapped either.

You have 2 choices. Play in high leagues and get attacked frequently or play in low leagues and have greater overall resource protection with the cost of being zapped.

Uhhh, yeah you should be penalized for playing in lower leagues.
