I'm pretty certain that includes loot pics as well, so let's try and respect his request.
it's ok, i saw those posts as sharing current experience. The main reason I am asking people not to post their opinions on the loot system is to avoid the thread getting derailed by another debate about it.Quote:

It seems that people all rush to one trophy range to farm, which I imagine causes that trophy range to dry up rather quickly. So while some people keep hitting next wondering where the loot went, others immediately adjust to find the next hotspot before it gets swarmed.
But regardless of whether it's totally random or if there is some sort of pattern to follow, the best thing anyone can do right now is to keep sharing their experiences with each other and apply what they see others doing to themselves. For example Just at a glance I see that Jazz is picking some raids with less than 100k gold in them, many people would probably not bother with raids as small as that even tho when looking at Jazz's full list of raids within an hour it suddenly becomes quite apparent that those smaller raids are adding up quite a bit since each raid is only 3-5 minutes apart.
Great thread but I think you overlooked the biggest key factor which is time. I find that people who complain are the more casual raiders who say they can only 1 hour a day. Loot is inconsistent and if you are in one of the top farming clans, you are playing hours a day/week and you will look at every corner for loot. Farming is so basic and simple if all you want is gold. This game comes down to raiding collectors. Storage raids are a bonus and second priority unless you build super armies for 1-2 raids an hr.
There are many factors which make a difference to one's success in farming, and I agree that time is a big one. If you can stay online for hours that's going to make a big difference. But even if someone can only play for 45 minutes before going on defense I beleive it's still possible for them to make at least enough of a profit to negate the resources lost on defense and still have a bit more than before. From the many threads I've been reading debating this, the main issue seems to consistently be that before finding resources consistently was very formulaic where as now it has become much more scattered in terms of trophy level, how many resources are acceptable to raid, and whether to go for collectors or storages etc.Quote:

Time is a huge factor, but that has always been the case so I don't think it's the sole issue that will determine whether or not one can continue to progress.
I'd like to remind everyone that storage raids can be just as profitable as collector raids now. Before you would need to destroy all 4 gold storages to get 200k. Now all you need to destroy is 2 (assuming they have 4 mil or more stored). So find a base with full storages and aim for 2 storages, if you still have troops left over go for a third.
To share my own experience, last night I had about 2hrs free to farm. I was conducting an experiment with my clan so I actually literally counted over 100 skips before finding a 100k base. I found 4-5 abandoned bases that all had under 50k Gold. After the 2hrs I had made a profit of under 100k while my clan leader was getting around 300k every raid with the same TH and trophy range.Quote:
