Unfair Trophy System?

[fplant]

No, not broken.

Poorly designed

Explain to us how it should work.

That would cause huge trophy inflation. They way the system currently works, it gets harder and harder to get trophies the higher you go, which seems reasonable. It also puts somewhat of a cap on the maximum number of trophies, since gaining trophies when you're at the top is almost impossible.

If you were awarded trophies only on difficulty of base, then the top players would just keep climbing and it would be literally impossibly for anyone to reach them. Is that the kind of game that you want? Just imagine if you joined a race and someone had a 3 year head start on you. Would you even try to catch up?

I didn't say "awarded trophies only on difficulty of base", I said on the RELATIVE difficulty between the two bases. For instance, a TH3 beating up on a TH2 might only be worth a single trophy. Same as a TH10 beating up on a TH9 - only a single trophy. However, a TH8 takes a star off of a TH10 should be worth more as the relative difficulty is very high.

I could (and probably am) wrong, but I don't believe that this would lead to trophy inflation...

I'm in complete agreement that it SHOULD be harder to climb trophies as you go up, but the risk/reward should be relative. I'm not trying to argue that what I suggested is better, it probably has problems that we haven't thought of yet. However, the current system just doesn't make any sense...

Perfectly stated. No higher th should be able to pray on the weak. It's not my fault they are lower in trophies.

Say you get 10 trophies for a 1 star on a base at your level. If you attack 10 times a day, you would get 100 trophies a day. If you get 1 starred twice a day, you wold lose 20 trophies. This is irrespective of what trophy level you are. I think it's pretty obvious that you will keep gaining trophies every day that you play.

Now imagine that you're trying to catch someone that's been playing for 3 years. How are you ever going to be able to catch them? You're not, so it wold be impossible for you to ever reach the top ranks.

I will have to argue with you on that, as "tough it out" is not a proper response to defend the statement. Your saying that because I'm ahead of the curve and more persistent than the rest of my peers means I should suck it up? How is that fair. Higher town halls, regardless of trophies should not have the ability to clean out my trophy cabinet just cause they showed up. It's discouraging. Poor design flaw but they can't get everything right.

Ok, so we can't complain of the poorly designed trophy system just because the situation is even worst in higher leagues...


These SC defenders and their silly arguments...

You guys can make billions of arguments how unfair the game can be for you. But your complaints won't change anything. It's either quit or continue playing. Unless you have a very good suggestions on how to make it work for everyone. Your point of views on the game only involves on your ranges but doens't include every single player in it. I'm not defending SC or whatsoever it's just that seeing thousands of complaint threads everyday is kind of silly when everything in game is workable. It's not because you can't doesn't mean everyone can't either.

You guys and your arguments. Seriously.

Complaints do change the game. We have seen that time and time again. From spell times reduced, queue-able spells, reduced hero sleep times etc. Even you complain about the clouds and have said several times here you would like to see 1 cup offers. The trophy system is a flop across the game. People just use it as a way to farm easier players in lower leagues and in higher leagues you can spend hours looking for a base to attack. If you think this is fine then that's your opinion but there are a lot more people that think it's a broken mess as can be seen by the countless topics on the matter lately...

But the improvements that you mention are easy and have obvious solutions, but I haven't seen a single reasonable solution to the trophy "problem".

How would you rather it worked?

Do you want to add something constructive to add to this thread? If you have a suggestion for improvement, let's hear it.

Exactly. All changes made in the game that improved gameplay for every player in the world, it were introduced thanks to the people that complained about it.


Imagine if no one complained, each time something is broken or doesn't work as intented, they just accept it like sheeps, imagine that, We would have the exactly same game as in 2013, with absolutely no changes and no fixes.


It's unbelieveable how conformist some people are...
