Well, we have gotten one possible solution: remove loot bonus/penalty after a certain trophy range. That's a lot more than many other threads about this topic, right? :)Quote:

I was wondering since I'm DE raiding the old fashioned way on my brother's TH 7 account , if it is more annoying to see a lightning after a failed attempt with them trying to 40% you a sheild than just lightning you? I feel that if they lightning after a failed attempt I won't go as hard because it's not their starting tactic.
No. No. No. I am TH8 and I don't want to be restricted to gold leagues. How about have no loot penalty/bonus for lightning attacks?
Most people start on my base with lightning on dlix and only after that, some grow some nuts to attempt it properly :cool:Quote:

There are several important points here.Quote:

3. My storages have been attacked by lightning 3 times in the last 2 days. (I am in crystal III) All have been from TH9 or 10, not even th8 let alone th7. I don't think this is a problem that should be restricted to TH7's.
4. Easy solution... keep lightning as is, but when it damages resource buildings, the attacker does not get the resources from it.
I can tell you what isn't the solution: more DE health ;). If you want to stop the attacks the best solution I've seen/thought of is the storage having resistance to lightning eg 50% power.Quote:

Yeah remove the damn penalty/loot bonus for lightning spells. It's really the smartest idea ever. You can still get the bonus loot/penalty from TH differences, but don't apply that to lightning spells.
Yesterday on a revenge attack on a TH8, the clan castle was next to the core on the far end of where I wanted to breach.
So I dropped an archer on the far side to lure all the troops out first. After that, I started the breach with 1 giant and 3 wb's. That got the cc troops to double back over the core where there was a tight cluster of 2 gold, 1 elixir, and de. I doubled lightning his troops on top of the de and hit them again with a 3rd lightning to make sure they were extra dead.
on the road to bk...

3. Couple lightning attacks from 8-10THs on my logs
4. One possible solution, yes.
What about the other resources that get stolen by lower lvl townhalls and you can't revenge them properly? I get hit with lightning on both gold & elixir almost as often as my dlix (I don't get why, but that's what is happening)Quote:

So on that logic, a high TH, when attacking low, should first lightning spell the dlix to get the stuff out without the penalty before going all in? Yea.... No.Quote:

i don't have any issue with a TH7 lightning my DE. it's a sign that I'm bullying weaker bases for gold/elixir farming and that i'm too low in trophies (shame on me) or that that particular TH7 is high in trophies (good for them).
i find TH8s and TH9s using lightning on my DE far more annoying. but then i have the opportunity to revenge them with no real loot penalty.
the system seems fine as is.
