I too believe that the sync attack changed the game. I remember setting my alarm to launch attacks. Now we have players with over 100 castles. You at least had to plan your attack. It was a lot of effort. I know the developers probably wanted to make the game more attractive but they made attacking so simple even an idiot can't muck it up. Now we have a silver counter as well. I have no doubt we will have a troop counter too. We might as well. When the added the sync feature they removed the defensive option to try and split silver. The game now is fundamentally different from what it was when I first started playing.
1000 silver for one gold! No way. That's 50k of resources. Given what you can buy for 1 gold I think that's a bt over the top. There should be some mechanism to earn gold in the game though because while some players can spend real money on this some cannot. So for that reason there should be something. The cynic in me says that will never happen because part of the revenue stream for this game is gold sales.
I have thought about the trickle a lot recently. It is within the parameters of the game and if you can pull it off I say good luck to you. Having said that I also agree that if the attacker has a huge positive ratio then it really should be lights out.
I honestly believe the whole alliance idea should be revisited in its entirety. It is pointless t be in an alliance when the other members are on the other side of the map. Isn't it mor likely that one would ally with their neighbours than someone on the other side of the world? This ties in to the fog of war idea as well. We really should not be able to see what the points level of a castle is just by looking or who the player is or how many castles they have or even what their alliances are. That is what spy's and trade are for. We should be able to get the info in layers. The same goes for troop movements etc. simply if a player in a large alliance has 100 hours notice of an attack then the trickle is organised and it's troops down the drain. Utter bs in my view.
