Are Hardcore farmers ruining coc?

[facescraper]

I think you guys missed my point and maybe it's long winded and for that I'm sorry. It's taken me 18 months to get the courage to start a thread as I was warned it brings nothing but hate towards those that start threads
I was and still am a farmer.
Not an issue with any farmers.
But if all those maxed out bases with 40/40 heroes that hide in silver and gold were a little higher in cups the game would be more balance. So in effect I asked Didint complain. Are hardcore farmers ruining the game

The game allows them to play there though. Don't blame the players/farmers. SC have this trophy system in place that can easily be manipulated. If you want to point blame at something ruining the game start with the game developers. I've been making a lot of posts on the whole trophy system in general. It doesn't work well anywhere in the game. The high levels you can look for hours for a base and everyone below just exploits it to attack easier players.

I have 36/32 heroes and only 113 war stars. I stopped warring long time ago because of bunnies. I farmed in champs before but got tired of it due to the heavy army I needed to build and the cook time was long.

My base is close to max TH 10 defense but I am now in gold 1/crystal 3. It has nothing to do with my base/troops or ability to attack or defend. It is about how staying in those leagues best fit my schedule and I want to dictate how the game operates based on my priorities but not the other way around that I have to sacrifice my own life to play the game the so-called "right" way...

I don't really see how that would balance the game. We have plenty of 4040 guys in champs. Maybe these guys are working on their unbreakable achievement?

More than a player behavior issue it is more of a game design issue.

Farmers just go where the loot is. The game is 90% loot based. Unluckily higher leagues does not necessarily mean higher loot (well, depends on play style, but usually it doesn't). But higher leagues do mean tougher to raid bases.

There's little incentive to push trophies and significant disincentive against it (lootwise at least). Can't blame players for just "going with the flow" and staying where the easy loot is.

It's as if in a MMORPG game it was allowed for higher level characters to farm low level enemies and get hugely rewarded for it. You can bet the tougher areas of that game would be deserted and the low level areas be super crowded.

It's probably too late to do anything about it now, though. Neither does it seem like SC even wants to do anything about it.

The most part I enjoy in clash is farming in silver.I have careless about trophies (hate to get them :smirk). I started clash for the journey to max not the maxed state.

I'm nearly maxed now(remaining lab only) and still if I push it would be for the FE event. It is up to everyone to have their own way in playing.

Many enjoy pushing while others including me don't. Fun of this game for me is in two things right now farming & war.

Once I'm done with farming it will be only war what I'm going to do in clash (now farming slowly to extend it ). Some enjoy the end game others enjoy the journey there.

IMO farmers are who make this game amazing

I get what you are saying, but no they aren't. Some people just like to farm and for the most part it doesn't hurt anyone at all. the only way they ruin anything is if you let them ruin your day by allowing yourself to get butthurt when they try to get a rise out of you, and that can be said of anyone, not just farmers who have higher level bases.

Although supercell have changed how match ups are made I think if they made the town hall mandatory in the centre of all bases it would make some ppl learn to use the troops they have farmed so hard for and in turn make the game far more even. Atm a full time barcher can class himself a better clasher even though he doesn't understand 60% of the game itself.

I dunno, there's something to be said for using tier one troops to break into a base and steal the loot. Good barchers can easily do this by adding a couple of wall breakers and giants to their army

[Mystery93]

Do you know what type of players does ruining coc? They are : zapper (thankfull they have gone forever now), the offensive base maker, and the '♥♥♥♥♥ers'. That's by far the most rational answers for your question.

I'm a maxed out clasher with over a billion gold grab. Today I encountered a fellow clasher on global who just so happens to have his bk one level higher than mine.for this reason I was accused of being the inferior clasher. He never passed gold one and only had 14 war stars. I farm in champion league with ease and if work wasn't so busy I could farm in Titan 3. I have 400+ war stars and as a th10 I class that as OK for someone who wars twice a week. I am more than capable of hitting any base. I paid my dues from th5-9 I farmed in gold and silver league for almost 18months. Once I knew my base could hold its own I was happy to climb a little and join the "bigger" clashers of the game.
It's been a great experience progressing through the game but I have noticed there's now more and more "elite" bases hangin low and have zero experience in using the max out troops they have farmed so hard for. At the end of the day what use is owning a rolls Royce if you can't drive it. I think the cup system is flawed. Although supercell have changed how match ups are made I think if they made the town hall mandatory in the centre of all bases it would make some ppl learn to use the troops they have farmed so hard for and in turn make the game far more even. Atm a full time barcher can class himself a better clasher even though he doesn't understand 60% of the game itself.

Firstly...I think it's funny when ppl like you want to change the game just because you have done your hardcore farming and now ready to play.

secondly...

It doesn't matter if it's race, occupation, dog type, mothers, shoes or even hardcore farmers on clash of clans
10% of them are bad, hopeless or rude. If you only see that 10% you have a bad opinion

in saying that yes some hardcore farmers sit in silver or gold and max their th10 base picking on th8-9, but they are absolutely hopeless in war when it comes to fighting someone with a base just as good as theirs.

but everyone plays different and there is no rules against it.
personally when I see a near maxed th10 in silver with my mini, who has only destroyed 100 xbows and 10 infernos, I laugh pretty hard lol

th9..never been past gold 1. War often.
