I'm th 8 and so far I like the new update. I'm not there yet, but in a year or two I will be th 11! It will be fun to see the new strategies people come up with for the eagle defence and the other extra defences!
Get ready for the low THs to steadily get even more spolied. As a good number of people start to get solid TH11 bases, new players will have an even more daunting task.
Newbie in global: Sweet TH11 base, how long did that take?
TH11: Around 2 years
Newbie: I'm not wasting 2 years *deletes app*
This dynamic has and is happening in current mmorpg's. As a result, new players are given instant high mid-level characters to get started.
It already happens a little bit anyways. Understanding that TH11 is getting another storage level, previous updates have basically lowered a lot of upgrade costs when new higher levels were introduced. Some of this could eventually be mitigated rather easily with an extra builder, a 2nd lab, lowered upgrade times, etc.
I'm not sure mid-level "characters" works as well given that you already get to mid level at TH8 very quickly. It's the last couple levels of "end game" that just drag on and on. I think much of this is mitigated by war though. Prior to war the goal was just go go go to max your base. Now there's something legit to do while you're a low-mid level. If we ever get some daily quest type things that's even more to do at that level.
Some things in TH9/10 should be lowered in cost, given that they are not the highest level anymore. Things like xbow in TH9 or AT,cannon lvl 12-13 in TH10 really need to go down in cost.
Another thing that can allow newer players to catch up is to significantly lower lab times, especially TH8-10. Everything below has reasonable lab times until the plethora of troops,spells,dark troops, dark spells in TH8-10 that takes such a long time to complete. In TH10, you'll need months to work on war troops before you max them, while in TH9 you can war as soon as hounds 2, loons 6

As a 10, it isn't that I want new and more powerful stuff to play with, it is that 10 is skewed way in the favor of defense.
Maybe i am wrong, but this is how I interpret it.
