You misunderstand the TIs. Their purpose is PvP fight, not collecting resources. Trying to get resources from a TI is like buying a pig and raising it for a year because you need some ham for just one sandwich.

I have chatted with other BH members on this and everyone agrees -- YOU PLARIUM must change the Treasure Island dynamics.  Lower level players like me need the resources badly because we are constantly upgrading the haven, but we don't have the massive defensive forces built yet to withstand massive force attacks by big guns at higher levels.  And those players at higher levels dont really ever need the resources, so they are just in it to show their stupid muscle by annihilating small defensive forces on occupied islands.

Here is what you must do immediately:

1) All Occupied islands must have a force shield of 2 hours minimum such that the first occupiers know they are at risk after that deadline and can collect and pull out before the deadline.

2) All Raids on Occupied islands will be De-hanced instead of Enhanced.  In other words, no one can Enhance the raid, and no one can use rapid attacks, plus all raids will carry 80% of the normal offensive force, not 100%.  That way they must throw a lot more forces into the fray.

Please let us know asap when you have implemented these changes.

High level players are prevented from attacking treasure islands occupied by lower levels so what you claim is completely impossible.

There are 5 sizes of treasure island based upon player level, perhaps someone can remind us of the tiers
I believe the top tier is only for players level 71+

Actually, it is low level players who are best placed to gain from Treasure Hunt Tournaments. Higher levels cannot finish in the top rankings without sacrificing hundreds of units
Low levels only need to send 12 bonnies to get tournament points and can often get rubies from tournament rankings with only 24 or 36 points    http://prntscr.com/fa1vpv

These players all got rubies with around 50-60 points http://prntscr.com/fa1ozi
