Loot improved for all?

Just wanted to throw this out there, loot has been great for my clan at all levels for the past week or so. By great i mean back to 200k collector raids, without hitting next 75 times. I'm TH10 and have noticed better loot opportunities while farming. Curious if others notice? Seems a dramatic improvement. If anything was in fact done to improve things, THANK YOU SC!!!! Or have we just been getting lucky?
anyone confirm/deny, has loot been better for you as well?

thanks

As far as I know, loot is very inconsistent in this game. You may find it good for a couple of hours, but it'll be horrid for the rest of the day.

Loot was great for me last week, while it sucked so bad this week.

So maybe just an exceptional week for us then. Thanks for the feedback, was hoping to hear good things from all. We finally had a great farming season, skies were blue, grass was green, we will see how it fairs next season.
Thanks again

Loot has been consistently rubbish for me since December's update. Getting extremely close to quitting.

It really depends on how much loot the person has... You can't blame the loot system because some don't have good loot.

Been terrible one moment and amazing two hours after as long as I can remember.

Same here. Horrible loot, then 1-2 hours of great loot.

I hate to say it but loot has always been fine for me, I was th7 when the loot change hit, and i had no problem dealing with it. Then I had no problem progressing through th8 at all.
Now I'm working on level 9 and 10 walls and having a blast!

This sums it up. Many try to make sense of very specific shifting loot ranges or changing language to switch servers (which is utter nonsense). Two people can experience very different loot at the same range at the same time in the same timezone. I will say there are times when players as a whole seem to experience slightly better loot (excluding boost events, which cause obvious loot increase). But the ranges we mention are generally only depended on townhall level and farming strategy. In the end it just boils down to chance heavily influenced by volume. There will be hours and days of great loot and vice verca.

The reason why some people will continue to rake is millions is because they take a longterm view. They offset variance by volume, as you would do with games of chance. If you're the type of log-in/log-off player like yours truly (with some exceptions when I have time), you had best take the same longterm view but adjust your expectations. If you're expecting to find great loot every time you log on, you'll be dissapointed.

Personally I have found solace in the following:
- Give up on having all builders working at all times. Once you allow yourself this, the game becomes more enjoyable and less of a job.
- Enjoy the good loot sessions, stop when it's bad. When I find myself nexting too often and/or messing up raids, I just quit. No need to lose my head over it. I'll pick it up later on and feel great if I have a couple terrific raids in a row.
- Cup hunt more often. A great break from the frustration and repetitiveness of farming.
Good luck OP!

Half improved

The good old days used to be like a grassy plain, representing consistency. The new loot is like a camelback, where the days you get good loot are the 'hump' days and days that bases are practically broke are just flat backs between humps.
