It's a real expense to farm at TH9, I might spend > 50k gold just to find a decent raid, and it costs 30k elixir to produce the troops to raid (excluding spells). Many of my clan members are raiding 24/7 just to save up enough for their upgrades, it's too much work at TH9. FYI, I really enjoyed the game at TH8, raiding was much more enjoyable and affordable.
