Clan wars and farmers

Before i begin, this is going to be using facts to make assumptions on how clan wars is going to play out against everything else.

As we know, our bases have to be rearranged during preperation day which means alot of farmers are going to need a new base layout, (for at least the end of the preparation day). This could be annoying as it takes a while to get a unique base that is good for defense against, however maybe the loot rewards will be high enough to warrant this change.

So far, we have been told that you gain more loot bonus for taking on harder bases, however this means more expensive armies are needed to access the core which will obviously eat into your profits for the war bonus. Is it worth attacking harder bases with more expensive armies for more loot?

I personally believe this entire concept is completly against what farmers want. Farmers want as much loot a possible in a minimum amount of time however, clan wars encourages long training armies for a possible win against another base and then gambling that your clan wins the war. If they lose then you have obviously lost lots of loot. So far clan wars seems very anti farmer to me

If we look at the effect it will have at the current loot economy, we have been told that a raid can take 5-10% of loot from the storage. If its holding 1,000,000 of each resource (assuming it actually can), then we could take 50,000-100,000 loot each plus any extra from collectors and storages. This is the most likely path im going to follow as a farmer as it means less change for me and more loot.

What do you guys think we should do as farmers?

Farm:rolleyes:

Its only for a day, once the prep day is over you can reconfigure your village hardly a big problem

I consider myself an active clasher. This season, 6 days into it, I've already exceeded 100+ battles won...not including the ones I've lost...lol. I farm alot, because I like to & because I have to. Firstly, to support upgrades (TH8), and my current clan, CW's continuously. I'm seeing a distinct difference in the farming in the past month or so. It seems the loot just isn't there, like it once was. I suspect this is due to a consequence of CW's. I gem regularly to supplement upgrades, as well.

I do keep an awareness of my training costs, and I drop/gain trophies routinely as I farm through Silver & Gold leagues.
It will be interesting to see how this will impact future gameplay.

As a farmer I prefer clan wars to trophie pushing. So take your pick when you join a clan, most will do one or the other, sometimes both.

as for loot with clan wars, it does add gold to the economy, but takes elixer and dark for the most part. If my clan loses in clan wars, I take a hefty loss in both elixer and dark elixer. If the clan wins, I make a small profit or break even. So as a farmer it depends on what you need. If you are farming for dark or elixer, than clan wars is painful. If you are farming for gold, clan wars helps a bit.

Some people will be in here shortly to tell you there are no loot problems, you guys must be noobs, and to try another trophy range.

You can then classify them as in denial like the rest of us do.

The point I was trying to make, unsuccessfully, was that I believe Clan Wars (in general) is having a negative effect on available loot for regular farmers "game-wide". Maybe I'm delusional, maybe not. But it seems, as Clan Wars progresses, the amount of loot available in the villages I'm constantly scanning to raid is markedly less than what it used to be vs training costs. That was it, man. Just my opinion.
Personally, I believe there was alot more out there available for farmers before Clan Wars.

More could be made off farming than CW. Training costs are escalated during Clan War. Thanks for commenting. :-)

I too see less loot after the clan wars update. Bypassing the decrease in loot after a major update, here are a few reasons that I think for why many are seeing less loot available. Note that I am not saying if loot is good or bad.

1. Clan wars brought back many inactives and those who were semi inactive. As most will agree its harder to farm from active bases than inactive bases.
2. Clan wars has also renewed the interest in defenses. People are now scrambling even more to upgrade their base to perform better in clan wars.

I don't have any problem to farm while at war. Now with war base can be save separately, it much better than to change my base last minute on prep day.

Just 2 attack for war didn't ruin my farming day LoL.
