Loot

I am a new th8. It it not at all uncommon for me to run 30 plus searches and not find a single base to attack that would allow me to break even. It is getting ridiculous. Then when I do see a base that has enough loot to cover my army costs; it is untouchable......strong 9's and new 10's.

Cheap armies don't win and winning armies aren't cheap. It would be nice if you would allow us to keep our surviving troops. Better still you could make the multiplayer loot bonus a refund of expended resources. The refund could be progressive based on success. Something like 15% for 1 star, 30% for 2 stars, and 60% for 3 stars. That would be great.

Constantly having to swim against the current with elixir and dark elixir is REALLY getting old. Why keep an that is no longer fun? I hope you will concider making some kind of change soon.

Or just give up on trophies and actually profit

Exactly, i could not put it better myself!!! The economy is a whole load of ♥♥♥♥ since your update! Have to say i have been enjoying the game for the last couple of weeks but today its not worth playing again! This is SC's strategy give a bit of loot to get people back then go stingy again so everyone thinks they need to buy gems. Well no more money again from me....if its not worth playing its not worth spending!

By the way 400k in two Four hour sessions today.....its not worth playing again guys!

been playing for 4 year and have a fully maxed out th10 base!

😂 You will find the balance... best advice I ever got was to go after one resource at a time... I typically save a few million elixer then just focus on dark till I'm out. By then I've usually climbed around 2500 and then I barch dead bases till I'm back to 2k and have more elixer... I'm th9 so I can find dark a lot easier than you, but when I was th8, I was in silver barching. Good luck! The thrill of a fancy shield is great until it hinders your farming

I don't even look at trophies. When I attack my only concern is for loot gain. Trophies will build with wins no matter what. If people are dumping trophies to sandbag.....well maybe the refund perks should start at gold 1 and build from there to reward the players and not the gamers. I don't mind breaking even on dark if I can gain purple or vise versa. But I don't even see that most of the time. In 30 to 50 consecutive searches all I am shown is prospective losses on both, or losses on one and little to no gain on the other......and even that only comes with an attack that goes well. Just trying to improve the game that is all. I loved playing all the way up to th 7. The armies you need to win th8 attacks just cost more than the available loot I am seeing most of the time. That drains the fun real quick.

Certain times of day are much better or worse for loot, and weekends are often bad as well.

Try raiding different days and different times of day.

Operator error. Nuff said.

I've maxed every TH up to 9 using "cheap" armies, barch & max gob. As a TH8 I once barched to masters, so yeah, cheap armies do win. I know players who gowipe & mass drag every farm attack and are still trying to max TH8 after three years of consistent playing.

You didn't say what army you use but I'm going to go ahead and assume you're one of those high volume high cost army troop users. Make a change in your army for better return on investment. Truly not having fun anymore? Quit. Leave your collectors out. I have a hard time believing someone in your clan or elsewhere hasn't suggested a cheaper army to you before.

Loot is available u need to be active

You must be right. I should be clearing th8 and 9s with archers and barbs. It must be my technique.
