@J6niceL No offence but I can clearly see that you don't understand how tactics works in this game.
Before shield buster was introduced, you had a chance to win against clubs with 1-3 cheaters.
You could just continue to block cheater's attacks while other cities were attacking you and making less points.
Now it doesn't matter anymore because even if you will win first phase of the war, all it takes is 1 town with hacked and maxed out attacks and 1 town with shield buster attack.
We are active and competitive team. Working together always let us win 3 out of 4 wars with this tactics.
Now there is no tactics to win.
All you need is hacked town with maxed out attacks and unlimited war items.
2 months ago my club reach position 70 in rank with this tactics. We all play fair and beaten many cheating clubs.
Now, there is no point to even be present at the start of the war.
Now, active and competitive clubs like mine will continue to drop in ranking and we will end up playing in arenas 3 and 4, where less active and more casual clubs play. There are not many cheaters there....however still happens.
They will loose their fun from the game too, not because clubs like mine are cheating but are too active to compete with us.
On the other side, victory over less active club will not give us satisfaction for winning.
It's a lose-lose situation.
I agree that the main problem is cheaters but now they were given a tool (shield buster) to be unstoppable.
If there were no hackers in the game, this attack wouldn't matter as much....but there are...
