No elixir for failed attacks

I get so mad when somebody with no troops, attacks and gets lots of loot, gold, dark elixir, etc. from my base without any victory. It should be like any other games in the world, if no victory, then no elixir or gold to bring back home. Works the same in reality too! SC has made other games called boom beach, clash royal, etc. Great games by the way and you get nothing unless you win the battle. Should be the same with clash of clans. The way the game is designed, game losers, get much much more than winners!😂😂 you have a nice base, a guy attacks you with say 100 cheap goblins, destruction only 11% of your base. "A real loser", but still gets loads of loot any ways and returns back home happy and just loses a few useless trophies! While the real winner with the strong base, loses lots of loot and only gets useless trophies!

100% agree to that! Losers should not be able to steal anything from a base unless they get at least 1 single star from a base! SC should change that. But this is not the first time this question has been asked and SC has no intention to alter anything with regards to that!

You're wrong to call that attacker a loser - they won what they were after, your loot. Stars mean nothing, cups mean nothing, loot is everything. They now have your loot. They are the winner.

When doing an attack its all about profit. So if I hit a base I use the cheapest and fewest troops possible. I even run math in my head what troops cost vs what I would gain if I hit a certain building. For example if I know a dark drill a little ways into the base is only going to give me 20 DE I am not going to drop a wave of hogs to clear the defenses to get it, I am just going to let it go and save the troops for my next raid. Farming is all about turning profit, there would be none if you had to take out the whole base to get anything. How many times, especially at higher levels, do you ever even see a base with enough in it to cover the cost of taking it out?

that why war bonuses are so high, way more than loot in the base, its because in war you do play for total destruction which makes the troop costs that much higher.

One comment, the OP speaks to guys using no troops (i think he means few or cheap ones) to get resources from his base. If it is posdible to swipe a significant amount without the attavker sending a lot of troops then thats clearly a base that needs to be redesigned.

Agree, if your taking that much with a king or queen then your base is bad.

Goblin raiding in the lower leagues is the fastest way to get g/e. Also you almost never win the attack, nor do you care. You just snap up a quick 100k of each, and repeat 2 seconds later. Not really sure how OP can argue his point effectively.

Agree, there idea would make goblins and most barch attacks unusable.

It really doesn't matter if you fail because low Town halls mainly try to aim for their goal which is finding a base with good loot and gaining it. They got it fair and square! If you want you could start upgrading things, and either way your loot will still be gone ;) But what's better?

A redesign of the base seems in place. Put some of your collectors inside, protected by defenses, thus forcing the attacker to use more to get your earnings. Trophies aren't worthless once you have th9 and starts the hero and final wall grinding. I'm sure you'll find the trophy bonus in higher leagues very welcome by then.
