You are a TH8. You know absolutely *nothing* by comparison about the difficulties in finding loot as a TH10 or TH9 that many are finding. Where every press of the next button is another 1000 gold down the drain... So 10 mins of pressing next is 100k+ gone and still there is nothing worth raiding for many. At TH8 if I raided annoying less than 1m per hour I thought loot was bad, and 2m per hour was not unusual. Without boosts or gems or artificial factors like we have right now of those plus the holiday period etc. TH7 and TH8 have always been without question the best two town halls for raiding loot at in ease of finding big raids, and as such have no place in making claims about whether loot is "good".
Many of us have been playing for a very, very long time, with maxed or near as Th9/10 bases. You think you we got to this position by being ignorant of farming techniques?
That you personally are finding loot, well good for you. But don't make stupid claims about others who you know absolutely nothing about. There have been countless dozens of threads and hundreds if not thousands of posts from unhappy players recently... Just look at two stickies dedicated to the topic in this forum for a start let alone the pages of complaints. So the OP is not alone in not managing to find loot by a long way...
There are not enough collector and inactive bases to go around to keep everyone happy (and by everyone, I mean especially the casual players who cannot stay online for 8 hours at a time and just want to have a quick raid now and then). I blame the Android user base personally. I think CoC now has too many players competing for too little loot. Just look at how the trophy ranges have moved up... Six months ago it was relatively rare to find a TH8 above 1900 and right now from there through to crystal II there are loads of them as well as many TH7s... All skint of gold of course, at least the ones I find.
So those of you who are having good raids... Please just take a breath and remember that for every 200k+ base you just flattened there is now one less available for the next person to find. And with however many CoC players there are by now, those who are playing online enough to have a streak of good luck means there are many others who will not be so lucky and come here to complain.
Right now in my opinion the game is completely screwed up and no conclusions can be drawn about "loot being fine after all" or any such similar nonsense. The economy is being artificially inflated with gem boosts at a time when many users are on holidays and away from playing. Enjoy your streak while it lasts if you are on one, but don't make dumb comments about others who are not so fortunate in finding worthwhile bases to raid...
