zzz, I have my own guesses. My main one would be, on an update that many were not to excited about an easy way to make all stop talking about it is having good loot in game haha. but that just my thought...

Usually 1.5 hours you can find up to 1M in loot, I found 600K+
This is post gold hour now
I think is because they give people who play a lot some time out of the queue so they don't lose anything if they couldn't update in time (like if they were playing and had to leave because of the update) so the inactives are what is left
I have other theory but I can't share it
My guess.
Acivity is measured and assigned with something like a point system. A village acrues points for activities like raiding and time spent online. Villages are also deducted points for things like inactivity and shields received. This update reset those values for players lumping them into the same values for matchmaking.
Again it's just a guess based on observations from today. I logged in right after the update and there were so many abandoned bases. I boosted barracks to take advantage and raided abandoned base after abandoned base for nearly all of my boost time. Nearing the end of the boost period, after 20+ attacks, I started getting stuck in searching for opponent clouds for 10+ seconds at a time, I have never experienced this before. The game seemed to have a hard time finding a match for me. Why would it have a hard time finding a match? Could've been lag or something else like it was getting hung up on an unknown value in my matchmaking that could not easily be paired with someone else. *shrugs*
There is some sort of value for determining who is active and who isn't. And I don't think it is an absolute value or like a switch either on or off.
Anyways, after the second maintence break I boosted again. Over the 4 hours I prolly made near 15 mil. Had to gem the end of an upgrade to free up a builder to put it into walls. Thanx for the update! I am sure it will all even back out over time though.
Yea i see many of them today... 500th post yay!
Loot is always very good for a few hours after an update. After that, it turns average again
people were constantly jumping to conclusion that supercell removed inactives, so the added a ton in :P
Still Pressing Next......
annnndd....yup, now it sucks again. :(
Ah well, it was good while it lasted...
I'm TH 10, hovering around 2050 trophies and I've been coming across full pumps and mines on everything from TH 8's to TH 10's every 10-20 nexts. Best I've seen in a long time! Enjoy it while it's happening is all I can say!
