The combination of making wizard/mortar fire more efficiently at the same time as lowering the loot percentage has made a noticeable difference in results. If it continues like this for about a week I will have builders sleeping for the first time since starting the game. Saving up money for clan castle upgrade seems ridiculous at this point. High value elixir upgrades are even worse.
I have to assume supercell hopes that more people will start purchasing gold/elixir with gems and that they will become more profitable, I don't think that will be the end result. I have spent money for builders, and once to speed up level 6 troops, but never for gold/elixir. I will not be willing to repeatedly purchase gems to keep a builder busy, many others won't as well, the extra money they get from the few will not outweigh the many they will lose.
Sad as I have really enjoyed this game, never before have I spent this much on a game.
