Give Gem users a better service.

Probably the worst economy game I've ever played in the 35 years I've been doing this. So much wasted time and effort in this little App game. More so for those that boost their barracks. You sit here and search and search continuously. Thus going backwards in your coins. The raids that come up are counter productive to even playing. This game just feels like a total scam. Why do you charge players to search when your search engine just throws up random finds that are worthless? Why do you penalize players based on their TH number. Yet again, they have no control over what comes up. So myself and countless others sit here basically going no where for hours on end. Again, we are boosting our barracks to play faster. Yet going absolutely no where in gains.

I'd like a developer to come on and explain this. Not sit there and hide behind your little screen. Just collecting the millions this game makes off consumers everyday. What a scam this is.

Sounds like you are in the wrong trophy range. If you're not finding any villages with decent loot, you should probably try going higher. Most users I know actually find boosting barracks to be one of the best uses of gems.

So let me ask, thanks for replying btw. What's the difference from a TH8,9 and 10 no matter the trophy range if the penalty still applies? I've covered gold 3,2,1 and Crystal 3. To get trophies most often in this game. You need to go backwards in gains. So you are either hunting for loot or hunting for trophies. One counters the other from my experience. The reward feelings seems to have been lost once I made it to TH10. Because basically all we can fight now that's worth our time is TH10's and Th9's. Thus limiting our game a lot based on a random search engine used. I wouldn't look at TH8's if I had a option to control that.

Also, yes I too only play this game boosting barracks. I can't stand the sitting around waiting for each rebuild between battles. I too was making great gains up until I made it to TH10. Now when I see the most popular TH8's. They are a total waste of time and many TH9's and 10's I'm seeing have very very little loot. I think the CW was a good thing, yet it sure made players spend everything before they log off, lol. :(


22mins left on a 4 barracks boost and I've made 210k in Gold 1. Being very serious. That's insane...... everything is counter productive like I was saying. Raid it, go backwards anyway.

Bring back the 1 gem boost per barracks if the search engine is just random I'd say. Because 40 gems every 2 hours to make nothing is just not right at all. We have no control what comes up again. Or at least make it 5 gems, something.....

I do know a few BAM farmers who can do well down there (I never could), but to be honest there is alot to be said for farming in masters if you can get up there. It's pretty easy to make 300-400k per raid with 30-45 minute combos. Not too bad, and boosting helps enormously there.

Of course, going up in cups also means less weak bases, and that is how you control matchmaking. :)

Sounds like op is saying when a th 10 searches it shouldn't bring up th 8 or lower raids. But often th 8 collector raids can be a good source of income. I'd rather see a system to filter the 1k-50k loot raids that waste gold elixer and time. But any kind of filter system would go against super cells system. And that is why so many people with jail broken devices use a certin aftermarket search tool provided by a random unnamed company on the internet.

When I see a TH8, it's total loot 9 times out of 10 is less the my troop build and I just use ground troops. So it's not worth the time or effort. Since I'm on a boost clock. It's odd seeing collectors so full on TH8's. Yet the gain-able amount is so low. So you have to just click Next. Then when you go into TH9's. Now you have troop builds and spells to counter Bows. So again, the gains are not worth it most all the time. If the Dev's came out and said look. When you make 10TH. You need to go to X trophy range. Then we'd all say ok, that's that. But it seems like we are left to figure it out and by the countless loot sucks threads. It's just not happening, lol. Make the experience enjoyable, not utter frustration.

This is silly why should the devs per advocate a specific range. Trophies and farming ranges are all made up by players. For instance most th 8 players farm in the 1300-1800 range because that is what they hear is good. Most th 9-10 farm in the 1800 plus range because they hear that gold 1 to masters 3 is great farming. People have spread the rumors of great farming and the masses have flocked nothing more nothing less.

Only good thing is if you go to these predetermined ranges you can farm players around you're level to make loot.

This is my opinion..

I am a new th10. I boost my barracks when ever I have 2 hours of playtime ahead of me.
I do not agree with you! On a ordinary day I make around 3+ million per boost period. I basically attack anything with barch..

A tips for you. Don't have such high demands! I attack bases for 50k gold for example! I've found that the secret is to attack fast and light. Efficency is number 1 and 2.
But, I am not the best farmer either.. Someone else probably have better tips!

I as well find the search frustrating but since CW update have maybe had better luck than yourself. I've hovered from 1800-2200 as a th10 (no boosting) and have done very well, first time in months all 4 builders were busy building. I've also found certian time frames have been brutal as well.

Wish you luck, the nexting can be a big motivation killer.

300-400k raids are implying that in masters, you are either finding abandoned bases or are able to 2-3* most bases. Every 30-45 minutes, of course. Playing the past couple of months in this area, I can assure you the only bases holding this kind of loot require to be attackes by hogs, drags, and any other higher style of attacking. I hardly ever find any abandoned bases, at best once a week. I recently just started upgrading my heroes again and have not had nearly the same success I was accustomed too.

Barch has success in the higher masters, low champions range, but the amount of activity required is just too much. I am able to do several raids a day, but staying online for each raid is just too demanding. Balloonian pulls off an okay 1*, with occasional 2-3* battles, but the loot really was just good at best at peak times. I had most loot success with hogs and dragons, which ironically require much less strategy. I am now dumbfounded with barely any loot without heroes and have settled with picking off corners and getting a 200/200 loss at best.

What gives?
