Not often i speak up for the high IPH players, but in the case of the new rivals list algo then i feel i have to.
I love robbing the rich.. lets get that straight before we start, to me its one of the best parts of the game and i am middle of the road as IPH is concerned in my Shark Tank.
But now i feel for them.....
The rivals list as it is now is doing nothing but putting the folks who do have the better IPH (i can't say massive IPH anymore, but just better IPH) into the position of being farmed senseless. Before you could toodle around and find someone to cream, do them over a few times, level up and move onto someone else. This new (and hopefully its days are numbered) list is terrible.
You have a wide spectrum of levels to go through, yet the matching system is returning the same old players time after time and the ones with the better IPH are getting creamed out of the game to the point where it is constant.
These players have two choices, change the way they play the game or walk away from it, after spending on gold and investing 2+ years of their time, its unfair to move the goalposts so drastically.
Change it back Gree, you should be encouraging players to stay and spend and enjoy the experience instead its totally the opposite.
