Loot System isn't the problem..... Production is the problem

Well i haven't post anything in several days on the forums and there are post after post with people complaining about the loot system. So once again I'm going to try to explain whats going on in the game.

The loot system I believe is fine. The problem is the mines they don't produce enough gold. Now before someone pops off with your supposed to farm the resources take 2 second and think about that, the resources you are farming come from the mines. All the gold in the game is from the mines. (The bonus i would say pays for the Next Button) It take 6000 days to produce enough gold for one person to have enough gold to complete the current upgrades. ( I would say it is more than that not everyone has 7 max out mines but in a perfect world its around 6000 days. )

The game is one sided in resource and that is gold. Right now if you where to attack me you would be able to steel less then 100K in gold but 600K in elixir. Why is that Gold upgrades are just under 3 billion and elixir upgrades are 500 Million. Almost every battle i fine in the list the elixir is 3 to 4 time the amount of gold.

We shouldn't be complaining about the loot system but the production of the resources, or the fact that gold is 6 time that of elixir in upgrades.

Last time I said that someone popped off with elixir is used in troops. I know but if you are farming you aren't farming with 10 dragons.

Gold is down in the game because active players are dumping the gold has fast as they can get it. I am farming lv9 walls so every Million I get I buy a wall. Has anyone else noticed the wall lv seem to be on the rise. I believe that more people are bumping the gold into wall then before the loot system changed. Super Cell made it possible for the higher up town halls to steel 600K so I don't believe the problem is the loot system.

Just my 2 Cents

Remove level 9, 10, and 11 walls and you won't have gold problems anymore.

I stopped at level 7 walls so I could make the other upgrades without playing 4 hours a day. Everywhere I go, people have 35k gold available but level 8 and 9 walls. Don't ask where all the gold is, it's in the walls. And upgrading the gold mines output won't change a thing because people will just buy walls faster.

Loot was great when mine boost was cheap. Because not everybody could empty their mines fast enough and people didn't care much about losing gold in mines because it was almost free.

People asked what "farming" was. Now they will ask what "collecting" is because 50% of my gold come from my mines and not farming.

I strongly agree, the game's updates and more costly upgrades came along and the pumps/mines became almost obsolete.

On a Micro Economic level, yes the mines are nearly obsolete, with such a small percentage of a farmer's gold coming from his own mines.

However, on a Macro Economic level, if everyone would just upgrade their mines (or add additional mines or levels) then there would be more gold in the economy. Sure walls would be built faster; but once walls at level 9 are complete, you need 3 million in storages before you can 'dump' gold. There is a good amount to raid from this from storages.

Plus, the best raids are still from collectors; so with the additional mines or levels, you would get better raids; all else being equal.

I definitely agree! However the new loot system is hurting everyone more than the previous system. Now people click "next" a lot more than before. I believe that many people "next" more than 100 times for a match = 100k which is about 20% of daily production of full 7 level 11 gold mines.
hopefully there will be mines lv.12 soon!!

Noooo, don't remove level 9 walls. They look so nice.

Yes, this is so true! Check the math out here: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...urce-Buildings

Sort of agree. The fact that most people dont have around 4million gold lying around in their storages. The loot system is based on hoping people have either resources in the storages or uncollected mines and pumps. An extra level is not going to make the complete difference in finding loot. People will just accumulate more gold then dump it into walls.

I still look at it in days. 7 max out mine would take 6000 days to pump enough gold into the economy for 1 person to complete the upgrades. Times that by 100,000 people and the numbers just don't work. Mines need to double the rate just to start to make a difference.

I believe Super Cell has played around with this idea a couple of time the 1 gem mine boost for weeks at a time. I personal saw a difference then.

Is this going to be a stop to the complaining. No I don't think you can make everyone happy but lets move the finish line a little closer 6000 day is a long time.

I still think the should make level 12 collectors
