Small complaint

Now with the new update we have a new loot penalty. If you attack a townhall 2 levels above you the loot is smaller.
I see this was made for Dark Elixir zapping but I really don't like this feature. I usually get my best raid 500k gold was one of the highest from inactive premature Town Hall 10's. Now if I try and do that the loot is reduced if I read the new loot penalty correct. I see why you chose to do this supercell but I don't really like it. A better solution I see to dark elixir zapping is decrease damage of lightning spells or increase dark elixir storage hit points. Please try and keep this flame free and if I misread the new loot penalty just tell me.

I'm not convinced it's the best method to counter DE lightning either. And to make it worse SuperCell ONLY made the difference for attacking 3 halls or higher. Not 2 or higher as Steve originally led us to believe.

Having said that, those the can take advantage of insane loot bonus off premature TH10s are ones that don't need it as much TH9 or TH10 players do. It shouldn't cause lower halls any real issues getting loot they need to progress.

Its TH level 3 or higher. So, you would have to be a TH7 attacking a TH10 for this to affect you. Even a premature TH10 is a lot to handle for a TH7. So, thats why Supercell believes it will only effect Lightning Strikes on DE. I think they are about 80-90% correct.

Except that it only affects TH7 against TH10. TH7 against TH9 or TH8 against TH10 are unaffected. So really it does very little even for DE lightning.

The loot bonus/penalty bonus is not as high, though, and most of it can be recovered via revenge. Not the case with TH7 v TH10.

On my Alt account, I've taken ridiculous amounts from prem TH10, and not-so-prem TH9, with troops as low as level 3 goblins, barbs and archers, never mind if I'm using giants and wizards etc (which I hardly do), or level 4 troops now. So it's quite possible, if you have a bit of experience. And it's not neccesary...

Up to TH6, easy loot is easy to find and doesn't have to come from higher TH; upgrades are cheap and fast.

At TH7, there are still plenty of ways to make good loot that doesn't involve picking on prem / adandoned TH10.

I think SC are wrong; saying it will really only affect lightning on DE is totally wrong, but I guess time will tell.

However, I agree that +200% is too high, TH7 and below do not need that sort of incentive to raid up, they can already pick on plenty of TH8 and TH9 for great loot, if they want to.

It does very little for the lightning attacks I have to agree. Plus with spells costing elixir it just seems like people would zap dark elixir more. So I really don't understand the changed loot penalty :confused:

Yeah I see how it doesn't really help DE zapping and TH 7 is where we really get good loot so now we can't get that good loot from premature TH 10s.
