A th 7 base wont have really good loot for a th 9+. This demonstrates your lack of understanding of the loot penalties.

So what?
Sometimes, they can still get attacked despite not very good loot.

I got attacked by TH9 when I was TH7, and right now, I still get attacked by TH10 as a TH8, despite loot penalty.
Not very frequent, but it happens.

Maybe they are going for trophies, maybe they are desperate for 100k gold/elixir, maybe it's just for the fun of it in crushing low level players.... who knows.

I've spent this year playing coc on my iPhone & ipad building my base up and making it good at certain stuff like defence of my resources etc. I farm like everyone does ie attack bases to take the loot. With that said I normally 3 star most bases taking the loot. So here is my growing hate of this part of the game. How come im a TH10 that has spent a year on this game growing my defence to protect my much loved and saved resources to have my dark elixir stolen by a much lower opponent with only lightning spells! To date I've had thousands stolen never to be given the chance to revenge why would I when 1600+ Dark stuff was taken to get back 100-200 de back its just not worth the troops. Plus thats only at 50k I will soon need 200k if I ever make a king or queen lv 40. I can hardly get past 20!

So I looked this up on google. Im not alone in this argument with many ideas to try sort this. Ie the lightning rod. I LOVE THIS!!!!! What a great idea put it next to de storage or whatever else to take away that option. Ah I can switch off my game and not be robbed blind by a level 50 with TH8 taking thousands over night setting me back days.

I've also seen folk at lower TH levels moan "well how am I supposed to get my DE I have no drill" em let me think..... Farm other players by attacking within the base and take it! Not by dropping a few cheap spells on it taking thousands.

Please please please supercell look at these posts and take some notice. This is killing the game for players who have been playing for a long time.

Many thanks for reading.

And that's the whole point! The chance and frequency of getting attacked by low level players! Much MUCH lower when you are in higher trophy range!!

His point is, while you can raise trophies to reduce it - it can still happen up there. Shrewd TH7 & TH8 bolters raise trophies to light up their way down to become DE rich - which is amplified x4 due to the spell factory boost still happening.

Suggesting ways for players to reduce the likelihood of the problem occurring doesn't stop the problem from existing.

It's seriously annoying when great suggestions like this get shot down with ways to occasionally hide from it.

This is the ideas forum, not general discussion form. Focus on the great idea suggested. This is sooooo overdue.

I'm a TH8 and I hate it...doesn't that say something for the flawed mechanics in the game?

Why worry about it if it only happens once in a blue moon?

Just like loot penalty. Despite loot penalty, I still get attacked by TH10. So should we ban TH10 from attacking TH8?
NO!

So similarly, as long as you stay in higher trophy range, you should be OK.
Sure, there are the occasional TH7 or TH8 in Crystal or Master, but they are few and far in between.

Nope, it's all part of the game.

It's more annoying that people think ruining the lightning spell is a good idea.

im with those who are for lightning allowing lower players to lvl up as its the only way to revenge for anything substantial after your pummeled by people 30 lvls higher than you. boo lightning rods or any anti lightning device

Just goml and you get pikachu'ed it's the game. But it would be cool to have a lr

Even more annoying when people constantly post dribble when it comes to solutions to problems the game has. Rather then suggest alternative ideas.

Remove the loot bonus entirely. Also remove the loot penalty on a revenge and stop punishing progression by tying league bonuses to th level and increasing them.

I have said this countless times.
