Stronghold troop is not a problem, or it is a problem for top 20 alliance only.
My alliance is at the range 30 - 40, only 10-20 troop used in defense (troop from weekly quest, and alliance gift)
I am not in a top 20 team (I think we are in the 50-60 range right now), and troop cards or sandbagging have been the deciding factor in 100% of our last 8-10 wars.
Not only They won't do anything about it, but they censor us. My harmless farewell thread has just been deleted. This is sickening. This is what you get from playing daily for 2 years... Nb4powerup I expected better from you...
They dont want others to see a long time player getting fed up with the game and leaving, might convince some others to leave. Which says a lot about the state of the game if they are that concerned over a player leaving.
