As we know matchmaking is a serious problem in this game. Matchmaking is determined by a players "Medal League" level as opposed to a players rank or their ability. If you don't know what the medal league system is it is this.

Once you reach a certain level you can enter online battles, when you win an online battle you awarded medals, if you lose the battle medals are deducted. The more medals you earn the higher your medal count becomes. Ultimately once you acquire a certain amount of medals you go into a higher medal league...Bronze...Silver...Gold...etc. Players are matched against each other by medal league...silver vs silver bronze vs bronze...etc. THIS IS HOW PLAYERS ARE EXPLOITING THE GAME

A level 92 player can simply start a game, place one troop on the ground, end the game and immediately lose -10 to -20 medals. Repeat this over and over and you can bring your medal league rank all the way down to BRONZE MEDAL LEAGUE. Whenever this level 92 player now searches for a game, with a massive army and fully upgraded units, he will meet players ranked way lower than he is, and easily walk through them. Vice versa if you are just starting the game and reach bronze level...you as a very low level will be matched against these really high players.

ALSO....if you start this game and are fortunate enough to spend real money on, you will be able to get up the medal league levels really quickly, which again creates nothing but sheer frustration because you as lets say a level 35 in SILVER medal league will constantly run into people who have put a lot of time into the game at higher levels with massive armies. Because of this league medal system of matchmaking there is no EQUAL BALANCE in the game.

EVERYBODY IS DOING IT NOW! It is ridiculous. ALL THE DEVS NEED TO DO IS MATCH PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER BASED ON THEIR RANK. Also REMOVE THE ABILITY TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER OPPONENT FOR A MERE 300 coins. This allows people to search and search until they find a player in the SAME MEDAL LEAGUE but a MUCH LOWER RANK.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE LEAGUE MEDAL SYSTEM...SIMPLY MATCH PLAYERS BY RANK AND MEDAL LEAGUE LEVEL.

A level 23 in BRONZE MEDAL league SHOULD NOT have to face a level 92 in BRONZE MEDAL LEAGUE

Medal based matchmaking isnt at fault, just the reward is. The daily bonus received is ridiculously low, lower than 20k (I can make 20k with 3 infantries in 10 sec steal raid. Just give a reason for high level to reside in his intended league i.e. specific heroes activated at certain medal point.

The reward for being in higher level leagues could be higher, but remember they only come once in 24 hours! People want to fight, not wait 24 hours for one reward. As long as the medal league allows people to lose medals on purpose, rank down, and rape lower levels like you just said, with 3 infantry and make 20 000 loot in 10 sec (proving my point exactly thanks) then the medal league level is at fault.

Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to go down in medal league rank...you reach silver you stay at silver...as opposed to losing on purpose and ranking down. OR as I said...just match people BASED ON RANK...the way normal games do...and let the league medal rank determine perks and bonuses only.

Busa you make very little sense. Players are matched based on rank. What you want to say is that players should be matched on level. That will never happen so give up asking. And BTW a level 23 cannot be attacked by a lvl 92 as the enlightenment age players can only attack players who are enlightenment, gunpowder, and medieval.

Hey, i did not know that. Good to know that there should be no chance of a scenario consisting of cannonballs smashing the weak walls of Iron-Agers. That kind of balance is welcome.

YOU ARE TALKING NONSENSE...PLAYERS ARE NOT MATCHED BY AGE....I AM IN GUNPOWDER AGE AND I CAN ATTACK MEDIEVEL...CLASSICAL...ENLIGHTMENT....THE AGE DOES NOT MATTER...

PLAYERS ARE MATCHED ON THE MEDAL LEVEL THEY ARE AT...IF YOU BRING YOUR MEDAL LEVEL DOWN TO BRONZE...YOU WILL SEE...YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK FOOLISHNESS

A level 43 player should only be able to attack a level 43 or two to three levels either way. I have had enlightenment age attack me many times with massive upgraded armies. All people are doing is losing matches on purpose...dropping rank to get to bronze level league...and stomping all over people

What I said was correct. If you are gp age you can attack classical age and above. If at enlightenment age you can attack medieval and above. If you have a problem play other games. This problem is that there is no incentive for players gaining more medals. I'm level 90 and I happily destroy low level bases as I'm rewarded with lots of hols and food. If I go up the medal table I get no resources and the daily rewards are too small.

LOL..you are still clueless...it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AGE YOU ARE IN....it is the MEDAL LEAGUE. You are quite comfortable crushing and abusing minions who don't have a chance...players that no other game with a real sense of matchmaking would put you against. ANY decent game out there doesn't put players against each other with MAMMOTH differences in their ability and and attack power.

If cheap pathetic wins through flawed matchmaking abuse tickles your fancy then hats off to you sir...I'd rather face a challenge and actually try to improve my game and fight for a win by using my brain

I'm not clueless but clearly you are. I know full well how the matching system works, which is similar to all successful games like COC. You said that lvl 92 players can attack lvl 20, which is not true. Players are matched by league but you cannot attack players more then 2 ages below you no matter what. Retard.

you are an IDIOT...it has nothing to do with The AGE you are in...EVEN SO....being able to attack people ages below you is pathetic and for losers who don't want to challenge themselves. YOU ARE MATCHED BY YOUR MEDAL LEAGUE. YOU WILL NEVER BE IN SILVER MEDAL LEAGUE AND FIGHT A BRONZE LEAGUE PLAYER. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT RANK YOU ARE!!!!

YOU CAN BE LEVEL 72! IF YOU ARE BRONZE MEDAL LEAGUE AT LEVEL 72 YOU CAN FIGHT ANYBODY IN BRONZE LEAGUE, REGARDLESS OF AGE OR RANK. THAT IS EXACTLY WHY EVERYBODY IS DOWN RANKING IDIOT

"Busa you make very little sense. Players are matched based on rank." SEE! Earlier you said players are matched based ON RANK! YOU ARE WRONG! NOW CHANGING YOUR TUNE SAYING THEY ARE BASED ON LEAGUE. Just keep quiet.

LIKE I SAID...players are matched on MEDAL LEAGUE...NOT AGE...NOT RANK

The better the age, you go UP...you don't go "down" from Medieval to Gunpowder...you go "UP" as you improve. Regardless...the difference between an entire age is MASSIVE...it is ridiculous that two opponents spaced so far apart with MASSIVE differences in resources and army can even fight each other in the first place...whats the point in building a defense if players who attack you will always CRUSH you?

BESIDES if you knew what the @#$#$ meaning of the word "MATCH' means...it means equivalent to or equal...thats what a match is. Putting somebody against an opponent who is TWO #@$#@$ AGES apart is like a kitten fighting a lion....its just plain STUPID. Continue to be quiet now.
