if it's true that we have too many cases of bases being 5 starred, then the solution is not necessarily to boost all the defenses at the expense of offense. boosting defenses drastically has the drawback of making attacking not fun if it's too hard and that is what seems to be going on right now with all the complaints. the problem is that now it's more likely to lose all your troops due to not being able to destroy all the defenses (unless you adopt the boring all-HT configuration as people are now switching to). losing all your troops makes people have to wait hours to retrain which is not fun and will make people look for other games to play in the meantime.
the solution is to just make it harder to 5 star, but make it so that you can still attack as frequently as before. the instant retrain after watching a video is an ok step but it only happens once a day. nexon doesn't seem to want to reduce training times (they want people to buy and spend crowns to speed things up). a potential solution is to make the town center harder to kill somehow. we already have the forbidden city but not everyone has that. boosting the hitpoints of the town center is one possibility but that would be a lazy solution. maybe make a special trap that is attached to the town center somehow that destroys attackers near the center. the point is that making it harder to 5 star doesn't mean making it more likely to lose your entire army (and endure long retrain times).

It's never been about the 5-starring.
