And not one of those things you named protect you from lightning strikes. That is why the bonus is been reduced to a more reasonable level.
Nice troll attempt, but you failed.

What lightning strikes? In your exchange to Yette (to which that post respond to), you were talking about general loot in various TH levels, and not specifically referring to DE.
To be honest, we still have no idea what the actual loot bonus numbers are. So I will reserve my judgement whether it is "reasonable" until they are known.
That is rubbish. I've said before I have a clan mate who purposely locks himself in Crystal leagues, town hall 8 and does several lightning only strikes all day long. I call him a DE noob for it but he just does it even more, he get's well over 1K DE every time with just lightning. While the lightning is just a supplement income to him using a farming army to snipe high level drills. He is making tonnes of DE at the moment. The loot bonus is making it much easier for him to use this method.
I have also been hit by DE lightning more then once above 1,800 before.
Has anyone considered that besides the potential limiting of dark elixir zapping (which I’m not totally sold on) perhaps this is one way to limit very low level TH players from TH sniping their way into an exaggeratedly high trophy range and profiting by just using the bonus?
I know there have been several posts here of very low TH’s up in Masters. At Masters III the loot bonus of 75,000 gold and elixir, plus 400 dark elixir, could be very substantial to a low level player. Maybe even enough to just sit there and snipe THs without farming at all.
Oh no doubt, I had a TH6 snipe my hall and pick off some of my pumps the other day in Gold I. It surprised the hell out of me, why is a TH6 up there? No other reason then to milk the loot bonus. Inactive pump raids for them are massively more profitable then they are for us higher halls.
As SC said, most of those attacks on much higher halls aren't 'proper' attacks anyway. It could be one more baby step in the right direction to restore some normality to the trophy ladder.
You must be the only one then... It rarely happens above 1800 as DE is easy accessible above 1800 without the need to zap, as you say you've been DE lightening more then once above 1800 which means your always below 1800 farming lower THs, so you deserved to be zapped!!
Anyway the thread is about loot penalty not about DE zapping....
BUMP
As a wise man once said "Dont attack the weaker people but attack the people of your own side as the weeker people more or less have to find easier ways to give payback to the cowardly stronger people" which means that if higher townhall people farm on lower town hall people (pussies doing this) they cant complain if lower town hall people starts to lightning the storages and snipe the cowardly unprotected town halls to get a little farm of the higher town hall people after getting three stared by them. Its a bad circle so no reason to discuss, stop dropping troophies, stop farm on lower townhalls, put your townhall under high protection = lightnings gone. If you dont wanna follow my advice here then go to forum just to complain about your own mistakes which led you to sad defences and make supercell follow your stupid tears just to make the life so much harder for those new players and weak players. Yeah you are a great person when you cry after the weaker man punched you back and your daddy protected you by punch the weak person back instead of you doing that yourself.
I'd say that the bigger and greedier people get the easier they start to cry and complain on others when they actually are the people who made them self cry by own mistakes.
Once again BuMP
