What is the point of getting trophies in Clash of Clans?

As far as I know the only actual benefits from trophies are:

The top 3 clans top 10 players receive some gem bonuses when ever a season completes
There is the "Sweet Victory!" achievement which you can complete by obtaining 75/750/1250 trophies.
And then there is the League All-Star achievement that gives you some gems as you reach those higher level leagues (250 for Chrystal, 1000 for Master and 2000 for Champion)

So, unless your clan can seriously compete of a position amongst the top 3 clans, then you have no incentive to maintain a high trophy count. You may want to temporarily rise it to get some gems from an achievement, but only temporarily.

So am I missing something or what's the point?

Well, many have the goal to become a top player. Early on however, it doesn't matter having 2K trophies just to be the best in your clan or whatever, I'd rather have 1K trophies and build my base during 6 months, and then try and go for 4K+ trophies. Long term thinking.

Answer 2

Until version 7.1.1 only the topmost players in your clan participated in a war e.g. if a 18 members clan fought in a 15 vs 15 war. If your trophy count was low you did not get to fight in the clan war.

As of version 7.1.1 from 24th February 2015 the clan leader can manually select who is going to participate when starting clan war search. Additionally members can toggle in their profile whether they would like to participate. So currently the trophy count just defines the ordering in the war zone. As a result a player with a strong war base can be ranked below a player with a weaker one which might influence the clan XP gained from successfully attacking that base.

Answer 3

The bonuses would be the most important reason to maintain high trophy count. The loot bonus is already mentioned in a comment.

Now we also have the star bonus, which is a more important factor. Although you only get it for each 5 stars you gain in multiplayer battle, it is quite substantial amount. Also you will get dark elixir starting at lower leagues than you get with the normal loot bonus.

Answer 4

Well been playing for a while, lvl 99, with lvl 9 th and lvl 7 walls (regret upgrading the walls past pink to purple). Have most buildings upgraded to the max for th9 ( still have one upgrade to go on mortars, wizard towers, and cannons. Hence why I regret doing walls.) All elixir upgrades except lvl 6 flying bombers are complete...

I can say with all honesty I still haven't figured out what the point of having trophies is... I rarely fight and only participate in clan wars I know are 100% wins. Why? Because regardless of the build I choose to use... I end up spending too much reasources fighting. Ie: lvl5 hog riders will be almost 4k dark elixir so screw that because finding someone with 500,000 resources to equalize that isn't going to happen. And if I build just elixir units and spells, I'll still run about 230k so I end up searching for a good match for 10+min and will make maybe 100k... If I get lucky. I just collect my resources now for the most part... Don't see any other point really.

Answer 5

In Clash of Clans, controlling your trophies is very important because:

To rank on the leader boards: Your Clan, Top Clans, Top Players, My Leagues,…
To stay at the most relative league for you to farm.
To join a Clan (it requires a minimum trophies to join).
