+1 to anyone that hates the update / idea!
In effect, this is a quick search to find high IPH targets. Terrible!
I have a lvl 96 w 6 mil+ atk (good for lvl) and only 300k IPH (junk). Every time I'd see a target multiple lvls above me (I don't have the update yet) I would know they most likely have a much better IPH than I do. I could rob LTB buildings like crazy for the 2 XP n still not level. I don't deserve to though. If I wanted to rob high IPHs I'd level quick, but I don't. It's horribly unfair to those above me.
Conversely, if you are a lvl 250 w 5 million atk (not great for lvl) this would be a quick search way for you to find targets too. It's throwing you a bone by showing you who has 5 mil atk/def 100 lvls below you. You'd quickly find high IPH targets. If you don't like the targets around your level spend some money, or start a new account.
I saw someone mention opening up the ENTIRE player base for all to see when searching. For what it's worth this would be the fairest way to do it, but I still feel it shouldn't be done at all.
Searching the rivals list for targets is supposed to be a pain in the a$$. It's farming, so if you're not willing to spend time to find a target (I'm not) you don't deserve to rob for cash. Gree, if you roll this out I'll be sure to take twenty minutes a day to rob lvl 200-250s with my lvl 95 in effect ruining the game further for them. Good call! LOL
No pain no gain right Molly?lol

It takes away to fun to look for a good target. Now you just blindly hit.

I can see 20 up and BELOW my lvl, while another one in the syndicate just sees 10 up and BELOW. Is there any reason for That?
(Still not like it as it takes the fun away from treasure seeking)
Ahhh. the "crazy high stats" and IPH on your level have been earned. Through the spending of either real money or lots of real time and effort and strategic thinking. To give away this earned and paid for advantage would indeed be a crime. Oh to be a lawyer. There might be a class action in this.
To be among the strongest and richest on your level has been one of the basic goals of many of the best players of this game. I achieved that some time ago and would be very wrought indeed if that was taken away, verily stolen, by the administrators trying to make the losers of this game and poorly played players feel better about themselves.
I currently only have one "rival" who has stats a million less than me and has a crap hood so its not worth leaving a link to make it easier for them. Don't kid yourself, if you are in favor of this then you have not been doing well on all aspects of this game. I have some in my syndicate who are not worried about it, because they have not been playing a balanced game, so they really have nothing to rob.
Of course I have urged my synd members to not sell off their buildings because of this stupid unfair idea, or quit the game as many have said, trying to make the losers winners, but instead we have another strategy in mind if this silliness takes hold. Strategy is what this game takes(without spending large amounts of real money) and this of course fundamentally overturns the current /past rules and required strategy. My syndicate will still come through this even though it is yet another giveaway to the upper levels, and upper level syndicates. Minor rule change, this is not. Very Unhappy. What a Wankerish thing to do.
"If you haven't made it to the new system and get attacked by someone who has, get up in there and hit 'em back because you're probably on nearly equal footing."
You freeking idiots! Obviously no one on your planning committee actually plays this game. If I was gonna rob someone I'd make sure I was either way stronger or had a way lower iph than them as I know they either couldn't or wouldn't retaliate for fear of leaving a link. By rolling this out to just a few it's Christmas for them and just a pain in the proverbial for anyone who has taken the time to build a decent income.
In the longer term many will love these changes but only those that havnt taken the time to build a decent iph. This is bad for everyone who has actually taken the time to thoughtfully build a great account.
Yes the rivals list needs fixing but all u need to do is cut out all the inactive accounts from the list (there are more and more empty hoods these days) and include perameters of stats so I don't see all these accounts with stats that are 1% of mine. Increasing the level spread by 1 or 2 either way may also mix it up a bit. Matching by stat is just giving a shopping list to players with low iph.
Oh And lastly are you guys really this dum? Don't answer that. I've played this game long enough to know the answer.

This change helps some and hurts some. It helps the new players who have quickly bought their stats to catch up. While they have decent stats they have a **** IPH. This hurts those who have slowly built their stats and IPH over time.
And since the new spenders will out spend the old steady players I think we all know who Gree will favor.

can u answer me? lol
My jr on my ipod can only see lvls 1 up 1 down from him but my droid as much as 50 up.
You have been warned by many players, either you make this accessible to EVERYONE or to NO ONE.
Either that or you risk losing 50% of your player base.
Your move.
I am thinking of doing this myself. Problem is, if I do this, I might as well quit, because hood building and collection have always been the only thing I enjoy about this game. Defense was another point but gree took that away a long time ago.
This is complete garbage. I spend years building myself up around a strategy of being one of the strongest and highest IPH for my level, just to see all my hard work thrown out in one fell swoop. I'm totally on board with the "leave buildings robbed until this is resolved" protest.
This just turns every high IPH player into cannon fodder for the lazy who haven't made any effort to build up their own IPH. There's absolutely nothing we can do to protect ourselves. Can't camp. Can't make ourselves stronger, because that just get us stronger "rivals". Can't retaliate because you can't hurt someone with no income.
I just don't understand how you can change such a fundamental aspect of the game. It's like if the NFL decided in week 15, instead of picking playoff teams based on won-loss record, we're doing it based on total points, screwing over every team with a good defense.
If you absolutely have to change the rivals list, bracket it by IPH, not att/def stats. This solves a lot of problems. It keeps the incentive to get stronger. It allows you to retaliate against attacks by guaranteeing that you only get hit by people worth robbing back. And, it stops the lazy moochers who don't bother with their own IPH and just feed off the rest of us.
