What is the purpose of the trophies on candy crush saga?

NikaK

Just wondering what is the purpose of the trophies on candy crush saga? There's really no explanation about them, and from what I can tell there's no incentive for receiving them. If anything, it's annoying that it keeps popping up.

Hi NikaK, I think the only purpose of the trophies is for those players who need to be at the top, to compete with other players.  No you are correct that there is no incentive except for the players who have to compete with others to be at the top.

they are almost completely irrelevant to the game.

What you think is irrelevant others enjoy seeing on their map.  I guess you can't please everyone!

It is missable. It increases pressure to waste boosters for something that seems so needless.

Hi mulliganaceaus, you really do enjoy writing negative messages don't you?  I understand your frustration completely so please try to understand mine at the moment.  I am just a volunteer who comes here to help the players and it's very frustrating to read 3 negative messages posted from you in less than 5 minutes.  We have to work together and not against each other.
