Raids, Raid defense and raid rewards, should there be change of the rewards?

So I was thinking, well I'm thinking about that since I've started playing the game. Now with the raid event, I thought it's the right moment to pick up that matter. The raid system is not planned well. Now after couple of months I can't close my eyes and simply don't see the flaw in the base defense earned chips.
So I'll give you my situation. Constantly between 1400-1500 points, getting around 15-17k raid chips, fighting bases with ~20k rating. Getting above 1500, I'm fighting bases that gives 15-17 raid chips, but are on 25k rating. That's fine, chips are chips and I'm happy with what I get. The problem is the Base defense earnings.
That's why the whole thread is. Why should I have strong base, if that drags me down? As I've explained above, I get if not the same, but pretty close the same amount of raid chips, even though I'm fighting stronger bases. Why should I try to be on high rating, when all I get from successful defense is 600 raid chips? That's the flaw. We are getting handicapped, by the rating. Higher rating -> higher base to fight. That lead me to put 800pi bots on base defense, just to lose every raid and keep my rating in between 1300-1500. BTW, that lead me to constantly losing fights on purpose. Doing raid, and not fighting at all, just quiting it, so I can keep my rating low.
Am I the only one that think that the raid defense rewards should be way better? I'm not saying to be like they're like you've raided but, some 10k chips will be good for it.
Why else I would get that energon offer for mods, when I don't want my base to be strong? As of now, the only thing that makes people have strong base is just when you tap on their name, to see the high bots pi.
In short: High base -> high possibility of win -> 600 raid chips -> you have higher index -> you fight stronger opponents = same rewards.
We need better rewards if our base defense is successful. That's it.
So this thread wont change anything, I know, but wanted to ask the fellows in here. Do you want better rewards for base defense?

You're happy with 600 raid chips rewarded for a successful base defense, leading to getting your rating higher.
Can you please explain why you find it good?*
* I'm not taking a dig, just genuinely interested of knowing why you would be happy of building strong base to be awarded with crumbs.
Pride of a job well done in defending my base is my reward
Good point and I agree with that. But do you get any benefits, besides the pride of your base being strong enough to withstand couple of attacks?
I HAVE NO PRIDE.
Thanks to the janky 4* roulette, I've gotten NO NEW 4* IN 18 ATTEMPTS.
Despite missing 15 4* Bots.
Hence the cannon fodder on my cruddy base.
Oh how i envy you geezers with SPARE 5* to put on guard duty!!!
Also, you can run through any base within 4 minutes or so just heavy spamming and not even bothering to dodge. Lately I’ve stopped dancing around and have just pummeled the defender in the corner.
My raid attack rating is 7634.
Usually after 4-5 raids i stuck before wall of +18k-20k defence teams and forced to intentionally lose (without even trying to beat base full of +3,5k duped *4 bots with *4 mods) at least 3 raids to make defenders beatable. To make another 3-4 raids before another wall.
And of course, usually when i do standart 3 raids my base lose in defence at least once.
In short, i was able to get 1200 medals once, for a couple of hours. Never again.
So yes, i would like some changes.
Yes I'd like some changes.
To make things worse, the chip reward levels are based on base strength and not on medal count. Raid matching and rewards should be based on the same metric.
And then you throw in that successful Defense yields almost nothing in the way of rewards.
Oh, and there's also the Revenge button that almost never works...
The whole system needs to be fixed.
They should make the chip rewards greater than or equal to the total rating of bots you defeat in raids
it needs a ... rework
I didn't want to be the one who said it!
