Exactly that's why a better thing would be hit points higher on Dark Elixir storage or make lightning spell do less damage.

The loot bonus was a ludicrous idea in the first place. The penalties were annoying, but actually helping nubs to gain loot from town halls that already find it harder to get it was idiotic.
Inactive town hall tens should be targets for th9's and th10's, not th7's who already gather loot far faster.
Remove all bonuses and penalties and let everyone stand on their own two feet instead of holding their hands.
Wait was the only reason the new loot penalties for Dark Elixir zapping made for TH 7's? Because like dahimi said it only affects TH 7. I may be in the wrong trophy range but its actually king of hard to find dark elixir and if I search and find an inactive TH 10 there's like 2000 dark elixir but I guess that's bye bye now....
I would love to see the loot bonus scrapped entirely - or cut back much further which I was hoping for this update. It's counter productive and only punishes progressing players. Lower halls don't need to attack higher halls to get loot, they swim in great loot pools as it is with much cheaper costs.
The notion that you should be rewarded for challenging a strong base is stupid, the time to challenge stronger bases for lower halls will come. I am TH9 and take on those big nasty bases and can only get 200k - 220k loot.
However, I am in favor of loot penalties. Otherwise I would just pick on town hall 7s all day long for the easiest 200k raids you will ever see. No loot penalty would drive many players out of the game.
A suggestion for loot penalties is that it's not you get smaller loot on any Town Hall below you (I think that's how loot penalties run) but 2 or maybe even 3 isn't reduced and the rest is reduced loot? So the TH 10s can farm off of TH9s and maybe TH 8s without reduced loot? Thoughts?
"Small"
:rolleyes: ;)
Some stupid and ignorant people on here, decreasing th 7"s ability to take more loot from higher th levels makes them wanna go buy gems intstead of sticking around raiding for low loot.simple...DO THE MATH!!!!!!
It sort of just lowered the maximum loot raid able, which stinks :( I dont think it helps DE
No way... I'm TH9 now, with mainly TH8 troops, and smashing TH7 is just way too easy. The only thing that stops me, is the loot penalties - I can't really get more than 100k out of them, and they could brew a big army and get 300k from me.
I do agree, TH7 and below have enough easy loot, they don't need to "punch above their weight" to get even more.
But picking on bases 2 TH below you, it's just way too easy to 100% them, or at least get all the available loot. Heck, it's pretty easy for me to do a good job against most bases only one TH level below me... I remember a few TH9 picking on my TH7, back in the day... the only saving grace, was the loot penalty they got, but it was still pretty grim.
