Also please consider the following:
If someone has spent many USD's on this game, and your view is that it must be as simple as the below to seriously hurt that player, then you aren't looking at the bigger picture here and/or, you want things too easy:
* Get him to raid you,
* Hope that he is either not that experienced, hope he is not good with numbers, hope he had to step AFK, hope his connection dropped.
* Do a simple timing attack with light / heavy offense troops with some boosts,
* And wipe halve his offense extremely cost-effectively.
You have to realise that the whole system cannot work properly when things like this exist. (Again, it is not eliminated, the impact is mitigated.)
Yes, you can kill a player through other means that has spend thousands of USD's against only a few USD's spent by you, but it will not be easy and require a careful study of all important aspects of the game ... and that DOES make sense.
There is no way Plarium will reverse this change IMO, because they shouldn't. So as I said above, you need to look past the brick wall that got put in front of you and go around it.
