Are people quitting or is Supercell puttiing more collector raids back in?

So I doubt they considered the value of inactives in terms of loot.

Though I have to say that from a cupping perspective inactivity didn't matter much at that time (no x-bows, IT, barely any traps). I guess it just doesn't look good to see so many inactive players. Marketing matters you know. ;)

It looks great to see so many inactives!! :) For a hunter or a farmer, they are very welcome in the search queue...

So if the players want to see them, why not just let it happen. In actual fact, if I attacked inactive bases all day, the players that are actually saving up would get a bit of a break from my hungry goblins...sure, some may moan they dont get attacked enough but I am sure they'd get over it. At the highest levels, not may make trophies from defence anyway...its all about stopping the 2-3 star, they know the 1 star is coming. And the inactives are probably sitting in gold / crystal, not master / champion...i guess?? who knows (well SC do but i doubt we will get an explanation)

people are quitting

but don't worry at the next update they will make collector raids even rare :D

They are not removed from search because they are still logging on, now my theory is, if they didn't logon for a few weeks then the account will be disabled from being attacked until the player logon again.

So yes, If you plan to abandon your game, logon once a week will help with the collector raids and there's nothing SC can do about this as they can't detect that your an inactive player...

Ditto

Partially active players are actually way more benificial to the community then people who have moved on and no longer play. Thats why I cringe when they make it harder for casual players with an update.

That means the opposite is true. There's no big green button that adds them back.

Presumably because from an aesthetic point of view, if the number of inactives dwarfs active players it would look really bad. From a more practical standpoint, keeping them might inject too much easy loot. Really the game needs to be reworked so that active players generate more loot than inactive ones.

I raided for 2 hours last night and had 8 raids totalling 1.65 mill gold and 1.74 mill elixir. Majority were collector raids. I am th9 and raided the-th10. I got 300k gold and 400k elixir from a th8.

A lot of it might be due to the time of day you are searching for games as well. I find an early morning raid to always be the best one of the day.

I have an inactive TH8 base that I go on about once a week to make sure it stays in the "loop". Fully upgraded collectors, but the storage tanks are all but empty. It's my way of giving back to the community. Problem is that it has now dropped below 1000 trophies.

If SC allowed more inactives, then the game's economy wouldn't be as strained as it currently is. Less people would buy gems and SC wouldn't make as much $$.

End game here is that when people stop buying gems, SC will take note.

Perhaps winning attacks and defenses should "boost" collector output. And inactivity should decrease it....just throwing ideas around.

TH 8 is the new TH7, simple as that......poor TH10 though
