Hi there,
I'm in silver I Division. Since wednesday afternoon I'm unable to find opponents with a fair amount of loot. I suppose that Supercel changed the loot system after the short maintenance stop on 30 April. In the past it was easy to find opponents with over 200k elixer and/or gold. Easy targets are inactive players with fully loaded pumps and mines outside their town walls. I can't find those opponents anymore.
Does anyone have the same experience or am I dreaming?
You're dreaming.
Sweet spots for loot usually changes with time.
If Silver 1 seems dry, why are you still there? Try Gold 2/3 then!
Don't look for loot where it's convenient, look for it where it's at. That's the streetlight effect.
Funny reply. You made me laugh. :oQuote:

It makes perfect sense, it is herd mentality. When 20% of the people in silver 1 say "man the loot is dry here" because they just happened to get a bad run for 3 or 4 raids then guess what just happened to the loot? 20% of it just moved to gold 3... So now the people left say "man the loot dried up"... because it partially DID. So now THEY move to gold 3 to find the loot. And BAM, the loot actually dried up in silver 1 and moved to gold 3. Give it 3 days and the same thing will happen in reverse and everyone will be complaining about gold 3.Quote:

Loot is there. I've been hovering around Gold 2 for the past 2 seasons and still am finding lots of 200-300 k loot.
I've probably gotten more loot since the maintenance break
I've nexted around 300/400 times in Silver II, and found absolutely nothing. Usually, I have at least 400k+ in my gold storages, but now, I'm lucky to get 350k... I'm working my way up to Gold.
:cool: Definitely.Quote:

I had a few good raids last night in silver II but not as much today. Lately, I've just been making sure there is enough elixir to break even on my attack and I hope there is an equal amount of gold. Otherwise, I would just spend 98% of my time hitting next and wasting my gold on nexting fees.Quote:
