New Farming Idea
1. Wouldn't it be cool if all the farmers left their storage a unguarded? That way we could share. I'm assuming most farmer's goal is to get their stuff upgraded. This would make that easier. You could raid with just a few troops and get lots of resources for an upgrade. After you leave someone can do the same to you. You wouldn't be able to stock up on resources, but if you just wanna upgrade stuff you won't need to stock up because you could just get all you need in a few raids. So what do you think farmers? Do you like the idea or do you think it would be bad?

In theory it would be a cool system, but completely unenforcable and I don't give the general population enough credit for honesty/intelligence to hold up their end. Also it's faulty cuz people would raid until they could do their upgrade and then log off with no loot in storage.

I think it might defeat the purpose of the game... but sure, go for it!

Sounds good but I can already picture people still leaving their storage in their base and taking advantage of people that are leaving their storages unguarded. It's human nature to be a douchebag sometimes ;) that's how people are.

You're on my revenge list. We will see how honest you are :)

Edit: You're not really on my revenge list. Now who's honest :)

I missed the part where supercell actually designed the game with a clear purpose. Trophy system would appear to be their attempt at "purpose" and that was a clear fail. Progressing through the TH levels seems like the goal to some people, and they get screwed for premature upgrading.

The only clear objective in the game is to make progress while keeping it playable long enough for SC to make gems off you. I see no reason not to support a system that would increase resources, because they've done such a shoddy job at having the game actually make sense with the system that is in place. Even with unlimited resources it would still take years to max everything, so who cares? You could only hope they fix trophies by then and there might actually be some legit reason to play...if my based was maxed I'd feel like this game was the biggest disappointment in the history of gaming because there is nothing else to shoot for.

How hard would it be to put a level requirement on a TH upgrade by the way? That's an easy way to keep people from upgrading too early and to give levels actual meaning. Even if it was only TH7 8 and 9 with a level requirement, it'd at least give you something to shoot for (still doesn't solve the endgame problem but it would help overall).

Thinking about how dumb this company is when it comes to gaming and how much money they make despite their idiocy makes me angry :(

Actually... I agree with you on this one! Sorry man, my mistake!

I Love this community helping each other idea. I will be part of it, not going to collect my mines and collectors for 1-2 days and let them build up. Then i'll leave them in the corner for ppl to drop troops at. Hope others do the same :)

No. This results in a net loss of resources. If I loot 200k and leave it for people to steal that means that I have to use troops and search costs to get it in the first place. Now you have to expend troops and search costs to get it from me. So now the same loot requires two raids to obtain instead of one. It would've made more sense for you to just steal it from the guy I stole it from.

Also if you loot 200k from me, that means I need to loot 200k from someone else to make up the loss.

Finally consider that there aren't enough resources to go around. Assume you have a large group of TH9 farmers all wanting to upgrade level 2 xbows. Consider that even with maxed collectors, everyone in that group will make a mere 5% of the amount needed to upgrade their xbows every day. How exactly do you propose that if all of the members of this group do as you say, that they will all be able to upgrade the xbows in a reasonable amount of time?

This is counter productive unless your storages are full or you are quitting the game.
