Unfair Trophy System?

[facescraper]

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?

I've spoken a lot about the topic lately. The problem with clouds and high trophy gameplay is it relies on players going offline. There are very active players up there but they are all doing the same thing staring at an hour glass spinning around fighting for the same thing. I suggested a duel mode. Two guys in clouds match up and attack each others base. Winner is the one with the most stars or the highest damage if they are the same (similar to clan wars). Only very high trophy players would enter these duel modes, it would ultimately drive players up wanting to experience it for themselves. The problem associated with high trophy play is lack of players. If they are given an incentive to play up there you may see more players heading up and a healthier game overall. The game would also be more about skill than who plays the most.

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

I already did, and also my fellow forumers.

There's no point in repeating the same thing over and over.

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

We are not conformist. We just understand why the game is the way it is.

I complained for a long time about matchmaking prior to the recent matchmaking change. I also suggested how to fix it, which is pretty much exactly what was implemented.

If you have suggestion for fixing the trophy system, please speak up.

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...

I was only talking about the cup system as it is the topic of this thread. I won't deny complaints helps the game as it did countless times through the years as well as it also made some worst features in the game. But reading the forums, I have not seen any good suggestions except the cloud tie breaker, although in my opinion that would make the game more challenging. I'm in no position to say it's broken or good since I have no suggestions to offer for a fix or a better system. The changes I've seen in cupping system for the rank achievers were 8h kick which is now turned to 6h, 9k range in trophy searches which was way lower before (although I hate to say this is the reason why we lose -39 cups every kick cos even 4100 peeps can attack us in 500+ range). I can also complain here billions of times here but without any solution, I'm not sure how that will matter.

The only thing I could think of is for SC to make Masters League and above to be visible for us even though it offers +1 -59 trophy. I could live with that instead of sitting 6h straight for a 2 raid 2 cup gain.

If you're talking about your post in post #20, I've already explained why that wouldn't work. If you think that would work, then please explain how?

One person hates losing cups while his TH is exposed. One hates finding 1 cup offer -39 cup loss.

I can only think these guys have no idea how worst it is in Legends league. To give you a bit of an idea, we often find 1cup offer on a 2-5h straight search on a 6h session. Worst raid I had was yesterday, 2 cup gained, 2 raids in 6h straight push. While we lose almost automatic -18 to -39 on defense. And a defense win gives us literally 0 cups. And none of us complain in here.

One must understand that as you go higher in trophy, it is only natural for the game to get tougher and tougher. Only thing to do is tough it out.

I have actually read quite a few threads where the folks up in Titans complain about the trophy loses. I spend all day for gaining 2 points and lose 30 at a time, SC fix this !!!! Not sure how you can say they don't. I have no doubt it is harder up in the elite ranges of the game. This isn't elite range. This is trying to survive at times.

Personally i don't get the numbers at all. Go down to 600 trophy range. I can 3 star a th 6 as a th 9 for 50 trophies down there and they can be 100 trophies lower then me. It is the way it is unfortunately. Until something better comes along we need to live with it, broken or poorly designed as it is.

This is a forum about offering suggestions, asking for help, or learning more about the game. You come here claiming to "feed the trolls" then I feel like you need to find a new forum. Either help us hash out the matchmaking issues some of us are here to discuss, or get off this thread please.

I feel I have as much standing in this forum as anyone I'm afraid. Thank you for attempting to put me in my place though.

Back to topic though, is there no way to control the way trophies are handled? Higher town halls should have a trophy penalty just like their loot penalty. Keeps balance from the high rollers that dropped trophies.
