Loot is actually horrible in gold 2. Was good one week ago, but now is full of poor premmies.

I've been th9 for about 3 weeks and its tough to find good loot. Gold 2 wher I was farming as a th8 has too many th7 and the penalty means those are a waste of time. I barched up to Crystal and it's worthwhile for the loot bonus, BARCHing th8 for 80k + loot bonus is 100k. Then I noticed that all of the collector raids (infrequent) I was getting were bases around 1800 trophies so I moved to gold 1 and it's very patchy. BARCH is good at the beginning as your priority upgrades are elixer and it's a very cheap strategy.
My thought are that once I have giants 6 and the elixer upgrades done then I'll try storage raiding with GiBARCH and push up to a higher trophy range. Balloonions seems popular but I want balloons 6 before trying that.
