Is increased barrack boosting contributing to less loot available for most players?

Does boosting of pumps, mines and drills contribute too much available loot to attackers?

I mean, why should anyone let their investment slip away so easily?

The main reason that result in a player getting less loot is due to the fact that there are more active player. So, anything that increases player activity will reduce the loot for the less active player.

As cliche as it sounds, the early bird gets the worm. Imagine the hypothetical situation of a 100-player system, where 20 players play 2 hours per day, while 80 players play 16 hours a day. It doesn't matter whether the 80 players boost or not, as long as they play 16 hours a day, the available loot for the 20 players will be low. In fact, boost or no boost will give the 20 players the same amount of loot.

If i boost but play 2 hours a day, i'm not reducing loot for other players compared to the unboost player who plays 16 hours a day.

The thing that reduces available loot is increased player activity. Boost increases player activity, hence reduces loot available. However, it is quite bizzare if you wanna ask SC to not encourage active gameplay, just so you can get more loot.

Another thing that reduces loot available is ♥♥♥♥ that automatically filters out base with loot less than say 200k. The user saves time of assessing bases defense and skips bases at the fastest (humanly impossible) pace, thus takes more loot away from the system per day.

Just a bit of info I know...The heart only skips but doesn't bring a good loot base , it just skips like you would be tapping next. Doesn't find faster , just skips instead of you tapping

I wanna understand how did I manage to reply Sandalhat inside this thread when he wrote that in different thread...

From what I've heard its skips faster than a Human and possibly even before it is displayed. It effectively processes bases faster than a human could so you get there faster.

I deleted my post as i found that my statement was wrong.

Boosting does reduce loot available because u get more raids in per play session.

That being said, i don't know how much it affects the non boosting player. The boosting good farmer might be so minority that it hardly makes a differencs, or they could be like a huge group of warlords sucking out loot from the game to fund their zap walls.

Without any data, no conclusion can be made.

Couldn't agree more. I just want to raise this possible issue to SC, so that SC can look at server side data and understand the impact of increased boosting. If it is a problem, then they will most likely devise a solution to fix it. If it is not a problem, then we should just continue playing the game as it currently is.

While I think boosting does affect the gold for the rest of us I still feel that the effective removal of inactives (not the actual removal but pushing them so far back in the que we can't find them) is really what ruined the game. IMO, all this talk about an extra mine, or upping the rate per hour on mines, or stopping boosting is useless unless they release the inactives. There is no way they will up the production to come even close to covering what an active player need. I've played a ton of games like this and every one of them has a system that relies on either farming inactives, or NPCs.

I've never seen a company work so hard to make it more difficult for their players to progress in the game.

Every time there is a maintenance break, update, or even when a league ends (just try and farm right before and right after leagues end and you will see what I mean, the drop off is incredible) the farming instantly goes to ♥♥♥♥. They definitely have code built into the system to push those bases way back every time the game hiccups.

Basically the longer a base is inactive the harder it is to find but over time it will work it's way back but maintenance resets that 'clock', the progression back to where it's under 1000 nexts to find.

To the OP, I'm not sure how you are able to objectively analyze the game whilst always on the forums:rolleyes:
