You're right, but that wasn't the point that I was making. What I'm saying is that the loot problem basically stemmed from people adapting their playing style because the big fish can now take a much bigger bite. It is this change in playing style which caused the loot problems. Anyway this has all been said and debated a million times.. lets just look forward to the next update which may fix things. :)Quote:

True.. As i said in another thread..:
I'm afraid there is not much to do. They show again and again that they do not listen to their players. But, they certainly have been told to increase the income, since, Softbank bought 51% of SC, and that's what they try, I guess. I work with investments in a large economy department, and have done so for many years. Without knowing much about their situation, it looks like from my experience, the same mistake many companies make. Quick earned money, and then a sharp decline subsequently due to breach of trust.
Now that Softbank owns 51%, it is not to know whether they dominate what happens in the game. But it happens often - and this is a big mistake, where those who have interest in the game is blocked out in favor of a worker who only look at numbers. Again, short-term and not long-term investment.
What's the difference between a TH10 raiding a TH9 and a TH9 raiding a TH8? I don't see why this is exclusive to TH10's.. the higher level you are, the stronger you are.. what's the issue here? If you're a TH9 you shouldn't be raiding TH10's anyway. Especially if they have inferno towers.
Holy ♥♥♥♥ this guy deserves a nobel prize
I think a big problem that is happening is that SC corrected an imbalance in looting but incompletely.
Before Th7 was the mother load for looting. Starting at Th9 the fact you had 4 storages, made it pretty easy to just spread out your loot and since 100% you wasn't worth the time and effort they could easily store loot and did. Unfortunately raiding for high amounts was nearly impossible, so Th9 players largely fed off of Th8 players. Who were in turn feeding off of rich Th7 players. Since Th7 and 8 could easily make back losses it didn't matter to them.
Th10 players on the other hand had to raid from other Th10 players and Th9 players. This was often in situations where a profit was near unattainable. Thus all the threads about how awful Th10 was. Sure they could easily defend said loot but were hard pressed to save anything.
Then SC comes and adjusts the looting to reflect the changes in the game, but not the loot available.
My Theory -
Loot is shifting up. The previously impervious Th9 are now a part of the food chain. Some Th9 players have adapted but if my experience is any indicator, most have had a rough time. Th7 has had a serious chunk taken out of its status as the loot haven, which in turn affects th8 who can get taken for even more loot by the now much hungrier Th9 players. Th8 players with loads of loot can easily be trampled by a decent th9 player. So many of these players have adjusted by hiding their loot. Which in turn decreases loot available. Th9 players are hard press to move up due to discos, so they drop down. Thus Gold is even more cluttered with a huge range of Th levels than before.
The way I see it, TH10 players have a load of very very expensive upgrades to keep up with. So if loot moves up, it gets dropped into those upgrades. Or at the very least is no longer available to players who don't have the means to take it .
After that, only the very dedicated players will remain (including me) and we'll get the loot from the people who have quit, from their collectors, because there are less people searching for inactives, MOAR inactives and there won't be a loot problem anymore.
let's leave these necro threads to sleep, many of the people commenting are no longer on the forum.
