They would've done this but they probably saw a good opportunity to make more money.

I agree with some to say that a free resource is nice but it definitely doesn't entice me enough to go trophy chasing. I think that to really get people running after trophies the bonus would have to be increased. For the way that they have changed things the new strategy is just to look for the easily killed Town Halls.
Please give us a gem reward for top 3 in every league.make a wall so we can't be 1st In a league like silver and advance to gold.u can decide how many gems;) I would recommend about 300 for 1st 200 for 2nd 300 for 3rd ... 4th gets 50k elixir and 50k gold for coming close.
the loot cap of a storage has not been changed. So if there are more then 1m of resources there will be still 200k to loot.
Most (active) players have almost always more then 1M in there storages so this change does not mather. They will lose 200k when they get raided and not just 160K. Or when only 1 of 2 storages is raided: 100k instead of 80K.
But when you start you will not have more then 1M in your storage, so they will take less from you ==> they profit from this change
So your point is invalid.
I agree with you but why did they decrease the loot available? I don't care about the bonus, but don't touch the available amount of gold & elixir available. The news upgrade cost 5M for archers towers 11 / more than 5M for anti aer lvl 7. And you decrease again and again the loot? Why? I will not buy your ♥♥♥♥ing gem, I spend 10€ for my 5 builders, I think that's enough no?
btw, they won't change the bonus so that's it but I think if the bonus was 20k each for 800/1400 tr and 35k each for more than 1400 I would up my trophees but now nothing change for me.
I guess 130M on their first quarter was not enough. I've been playing for almost a year, I've invested (wasted) a lot of $$$ on gems and I was just enjoying attacking and farming. This update all but killed farming, the paltry loot from the pointless leagues and the decrease in available loot has made me not want to play as much and definitely will not buy any more gems. Every empire eventually falls...
I just wanted to add up one thing. People in my clan including farmers started to raise trophies a bit after the update. Badge seems to be a new status symbol, so there IS an incentive to climb up - vanity :). Let's see if this is a short term bump.
