Completely possible without botting with how long the worlds been up, not to say that it wasn't botted though.

This isn't bitterness speaking, just an observation. It would take a very insecure and pathetic person to derive pleasure from exploiting such a massive power imbalance.
I think you are missing the key difference between this game and real life. This is a game. People beat up prositutes in Grand Theft Auto and no one expects that they must do it in real life too.

It's not a little unfair, or even very unfair, it is astronomically unfair.
It also seems to me that someone who WOULD find pleasure in winning such an unfair competition likely has some underlying psychological issues, or at the very least is compensating for something.
That analogy is completely pointless and doesn't apply whatsoever. The US isn't playing a game. This is a game. Don't take it so seriously. Its absolutely hilarious that'd you'd stoop to saying that they must have psychological issues.

Its ridiculously possible to compete without botting and no-lifeing. Had you managed to get your brickwall dried, you'd basically be perfectly safe given you can ram check about once a day and didn't get unlucky with a perfectly timed/placed rammed. We've had 1 ram at our wall all world long. Its not common to have rams placed at your base and not hard to defend against. There was probably 1 ram that was camped for its entire drying time all world and it was on a player who was on vacation anyways.

We have established you are guaranteed a win, so there is no challenge. You just stated that you don't raid villages of your level because it is too challenging for you (pointless, in your words).
Smashing stuff is kind of fun. There's no knowing that you have nothing of value before going inside. Even when there is no challenge, there is still some adrenaline/excitement just because of the possibility of fighting/whatever.

I don't even know how to reply to something this stupid.
Threads like this are a big reason why raiding can be fun. Sometimes you feel pity or sympathy when you're smashing another players stuff. When the player then makes a thread like this, it really reminds me how fun this
GAME[ can be from people taking it too seriously.
