Talk:Flammy's Strategy Guides/Matchmaking Guide: Trophies, Experience, and Town Hall Level/@comment-24454188-20140204221035

So I am just trying to get to 1250 trophies, but because of this aweful matchmaking system it is very difficult. 9 out of 10 towns I see in choosing a town to attack are way higher level than me. Likewise, I get attacked by people who are way higher level than me, but lose tons of trophies because they intentionally lower their trophy count. I haven't been at this that long, but I don't see why anyone should have to face anyone with a different townhall level. That is what leads to the biggest differences in abilities. It seems completely unfair that people can sacrifice 1 attacker to lower their trophy count to then destroy newcomers to the game, and there isn't really any incentive to not do this once you have the gems you need is there? ok, pointless rant complete. Any way out of this situation that I haven't though of yet? Or do I just have to grind.
