I would urge the devs team to spare a thought for new players:
- BA was blocked from most fights (no GE, no GBG, no GvG, no old PvP),
- Fights are restricted badly for IA (old PvP only at the very end, still no GBG)
Only once you reach EMA can you start battling in earnest... by which time your troop regeneration time is 4 h. Why or why are not not encouraging the youngsters to learn fighting with troops that regenerate in 20 s or 1 h???
Of course that's not an issue once you played Forge of ForgePoints long enough to get your Traz and have an inexhaustible supply of troops, but looking at new players very few know how to fight properly.
