I would say it is a combination of factors:
- People who were inactive come back
- People who were active get more active (Personally I did this)
- Easier to spend resources because there are cheaper upgrades to be done
- More people who are active = more people who are raiding
- More people who are trying to steal resources to afford new buildings and upgrades.
I agree it's harder than usual to get the 100-200Ks now,
& though it's not impossible, sometimes the cost for encountering one (30-40K) kinda negates the joy you get from finding one.
I did however run across a 320K village last night though.
(And I've tried everything from 1300-1800)

Remains hopeful because raiding after the Christmas update was s*** too. :(
I have a lvl 9 TH, and before the update I was farming quite nicely in the 14-1600 range, after the new update, I have noticed that the majority of bases I am now offered has gone from mainly lvl 8/9 TH (as these were farming as well), to lvl 6/7 TH, and the very few higher TH bases I do see, are heavily guarded, which makes the chance to loot nigh on impossible.
So I don't necessarily think the loot has dried up, but being offered bases that you will get a percentage penalty seems to me as a waste of time, all it does is cost you a lot more gold because you search for longer.
I have slowly increased my trophies throughout the day, and I am currently just under 1800, and although I am now seeing more lvl 8/9 TH bases, It is hard to even loot enough from them to break even. I do occasionally get the odd base where I can loot, the most I have done is 225k, but the majority of battles I am picking up 60-70k.
Now when I eventually need to do lvl 10 walls, at the rates we r actually looting, we will have to play 8-10hrs a day to maybe upgrade 1 wall, that wud mean 225 days just to finish your walls without spending your gold on anything else, this is too extreme. either the looting percentages have to be removed, or available loot is increased significantly, adding 19k is not enough, we shud be able to loot 400-500k per battle, providing the base has the loot, just to give us a chance to even contemplate upgrading to lvl 10 walls.
I get every update has it's issues, and that SC is a business and needs to make money, but surely making the game enjoyable and achievable to ALL players is the goal. Even by doing this, you will always get the players that want everything now, and will spend money to get it, and even the casual player may drop some money here and there as they are enjoying the game, surely a common ground for all players is the way forward, making it virtually improbable for someone who doesn't spend any money to upgrade at a slower pace doesn't make sense to me, as these players will just give up.
Here's hoping they will sort it out for all players :)
TH9 / 1400 - 1500 trophees. I spent 120k gold this morning to find someone with more than 150k gold.
F*uck off I keep my shield and upgrade pumps.
Whaaaaaaat is happenin? There is no loot at all! :mad:
you are right.. spend 100k+ to find a 100k+ target, at the end of the day you come out a little positive on elixir but come out even on gold!Quote:

Honestly, at town hall 8, trophies 1,000-1,300, the farming is the same as before the update for me. I'm not saying it's ideal, but it's about the same. I cycle through maybe 20-30 bases and come out with 100k+ gold/e every time. Maybe my standards are lower, though.
i think biggest problem is with TH9, paying 750 gold a search adds upQuote:
