what I would like to see is the loot bonus/penalty apply only to stores and not to collectors. Yes, higher TH players might farm lower as a result but there would be no incentive for them to wipe out lower players, which would actually be a win for both parties. If a TH7 can wipe out a TH10 then good luck to them - they deserve 400k of each for doing it, in my opinion.
I have two TH 7 accounts that reached Crystal II. Almost made it to Crystal 1 but saw the sneak peak this weekend and started dropping on purpose. There is no reason for me to stay at that trophy level. I would rather beat up on TH 9 with a few less dragons if I can't steal everything due to loot reduction.
I take on solid TH 10 all the time with 8 drags, 20 Minions, and 3 lightning spells. I pass on active infernos unless they are close to the wall border. I also pass on THs that have all x bows pointed up.
/brag I just took over 200k of each and 3,000 + DE. That guy is going to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥. /brag
I get rolled by TH 10 revenge all the time. However, the only thing thy get from me is trophies.
I'm running a TH7 alt, and it's super easy to get loot, I only have to play about one night every couple of days, then wait for the upgrade(s) to complete. All the way to TH7, the loot bonus is one of the main reasons it's been so easy. Reducing this bonus is fine; for a player who knows what they are doing it's just too easy, really.
My main account is TH9, and I do not attack TH7. Not just because they don't have enough loot, but because it gives them a chance to revenge me for 300k+, which if they now what they are doing, is quite possible to get a decent amount of (my TH9 is pretty new - takes ages to upgrade). So reducing their bonus is fine; I still don't think I'll attack them and provoke revenge, and if they can find me in Crystal on their own then good on 'em.
I do wonder if this might have the undesirable effect of TH9-10 farmers attacking TH @ -2 more, I know when I was in Crysal as TH8 heaps of TH10 would hit me for only 100k of each, but I guess they were all resonably well upgraded and so usually not worth revenging... So maybe we'll see more TH9 and TH10 migrate down in cups, to find easy loot.
