Exactly how do my posts demonstrate the level of stupid you showed in yours?

What does this even mean? Are you implying that I somehow earn huge (really huge) interest on the league bonuses?

Again, we are customers. Not beggars. We aren't "getting" anything. They are "selling" something. Learn the difference.

It's not free loot if you have to lose resources to get it. Yes I might be able to sit in crystal league and make 700k an hour instead of 500k...or I can make a 1m an hour in silver league.

Supercell, thank you for fixing crystal II, this helps me a lot in my trophies, also I have Crystal I to compete for :). Goin back to 2300's soon.

Yes, we would all like 300% increases, but multiply the number of daily victories by the bonus (loot created out of thin air) and we're pumping in some serious resources into the economy.

While I don't think this will create another birthday present 1-gem boost scenario, it should HELP bridge the gap.

I wish my boss would tell me I'm getting a 20% raise - so I can say Pedro said that's lame, let's renegotiate 8-)

Bonus needs to be higher and tied to th level and number of stars won so that people are encouraged to upgrade, and can continue to do so while pursuing cups.

Until a th10 makes more gold at 2500 trophies than a th7 at 1200 trophies, i will maintain that the system is still very broken.

I will risk dahimi going all logic on me and respond. I have played for almost a year, so I think I have a good basis to compare pre-ridiculous loot penalties to post.

I agree with your main point, that it seems the game punishes progression. It does. We all know that at this point and it does not seem to be going away. However, I remember back in October or November of last year I took a month break from the game as I had pretty much maxed out my base (yes I gemmed heavy) and got bored of the very repetitive attack/attack/attack/defend/repeat.

Getting to the point, I think the loot penalties delay that end-game sensation. Making us sweat and grind through upgrade after upgrade extends the game life and, in my opinion, keeps a lot of the player base playing instead of moving on to the next app.

So while I agree with you that I hate how progression is punished, I do think it does serve a purpose. Anyways, feel free to shred my argument.

This loot doesn't matter much because people in these trophy ranges typically already have stuff in their storages. Now maybe...and this is a big maybe...they could increase the amount we can loot from the storage cap, and if the resource bonus is actually sufficient it may help. That's a huge question though.

What it boils down to is you spend 30 minutes making an army...raid...get 200k + the bonus. Is that amount more than what I can get by raiding 150k-300k + a smaller bonus every 10-15 minutes in silver league? I maintain that it is not.

Provided you have nothing to do other than raid every 10 minutes, you are right.
