Is dropping trophies still a good idea?

I'm a TH 8 and my trophy range is at 1300. At that trophy range, bases are very well guarded, which means you need good armies. I have decent armies, but they take a long time to train. I have a question. What if you dropped your trophies down to 900 or 1000, and had less powerful armies that took less time to train. Would I get the same amount that I would if I were at 1300 with good armies? I know I would get a lot less loot at 900 trophies but since the armies take a lot less time to train it would even out, right? I want other people's opinions on this. Would this work?I appreciate feedback :)

The difference between 1300 and 1000 is minimal however if you drop down to 200 then thing will change. To be honest it all depends on luck one day the loot at 1300 might be greater then at 1000 and the next the loot at 200 might be the best.

Alright, so should I do it?

trophies mean nothing anyway unless you are fully upgraded. you've reached the highest you can go without spending real money. just drop the trophies and fight easier battles for the same loot.

You should do fine around the 1100-1300 trophy range.

I'm TH8 LVL70 and I've been farming there for over two months now.

Everything I've upgraded has been a result of farming, except for my 4th and 5th builder :rolleyes:

Yeah, it's not fun having to pay 35$ for all 5 builders, but it's definitely worth it ;)

i agree.. there isnt much difference between 800-1200.. therefore i concluded it doesnt matter what trophy range you hang out in.
the main difference is to hit the newly minted TH7s since they are generally weaker and might be saving up for some UG or other. if you choose TH8s or 9s as opponents without a strong army, likely you wont wean much from the raid anyhows.
if you choose lower than TH7, the loot penalties apply and make it less worthwhile.

It's even better when you get the gems for "free" during your leisure time.

I used Apps on my phone to get the gems ;)

You get better results when u play in slower hours. In peak hours its a lot harder to find decent hits. Also, since no one seems to be giving you an answer to your initial question ill chime in on that issue. Dropping trophies is going to bring u into contact with people of lower th levels. Since the amount of gold u can get from them is gimped ur better off sticking to the level range populated by bad players at your th level.

Im TH8 farming in that same basic range and i tend to find pretty good loots, maybe not on every attack but i find a total of 200-300k almost every time i attack within 10-20 clicks.
