This means you won't pull in more than a million an hour, which was average for farmers before the loot change. Secondly, if the game was meant to be all about trophies, SC would have corrected it. They could have removed the free shield or increased the penalty for having your TH destroyed. The fact that they did not means they don't want to discourage farming. And unless SC does something drastic, like introduce clan wars or scaled league bonuses to promote hunting, the cost-to-reward ratio is still in the farmer's favor. And finally, most farmers are not really complaining about the loot. They are complaining about the lack of lootable bases. For a TH10, it takes way too many searches to find something decent in gold leagues and in crystal leagues. Everyone has different play styles. Some people don't enjoy playing once an hour, every hour, to increase their trophies. Some want to play for a few hours straight at night, raiding 4-5 times an hour. Some people (like me) just want to be able to raid within 10 minutes of searching without the headache of trophy pushing. The 'next' issue is ruining the game for many players, not the loot.
