I'm a maxed TH8 hanging in the 1600-1700 range. Found 3 300k-400k raids in a row, then just the usual 150k-200k. ^_^

Funny, I'm in TH8 farming in silver I 1200-1300 cups, everything is going amazing! :o
After every update, loot dries up a little as everyone logs on to check out the "improvements", This drought, I fear, will be long and severe before balance is restored. I may well be in error, but I think the Pencil Pushers at CoC screwed the pooch on this one. The obvious is they wanted to make gems more sought after and thus money spent. That much is plain.Quote:

The PP of CoC think players will compensate for lower loot by purchasing gems. I think they miscalculated and went past the economic equilabrium point where some will...but not the numbers to compensate for the smaller purchasers who wont see the entertainment value being worth increased expenditure.
Me? I saw this shortage coming...or I thought it would come, so I spent a few extra Periods and loaded up. I sank a ton of elixir into final TH8 builds and one expensive lab upgrade is cooking right now. Waiting for one build to finish, and the gold I'm sitting on will complete the last big ticket item to my base....I'm relying on collectors to keep the balance of the amount available after each raid. One day, six hours and my 200,000 gold available per raid will be gone. I plan on nothing but walls for elixir and gold from here on for awhile. Folks are gonna go cheap armies ...meaning BARCH. Teslas and walls folks...
My guess? Wait a week, maybe two. There will be another one gem boost period for some made up reason and possibly more "abandoned bases" (ahem) to get the lower levels some loot for feeding the upper levels...and there will soon be a corrective upgrade of some sort ( though CoC wont call it " corrective")
But if I'm correct...theres gonna be a drought until CoC returns balance to the game.
Oh yes it has been dry. Worse than ever.
i agree. game economy is really bad now so for anyone to raid effectively you need to use cheap troops. just keep on nexting until you find a base you can beat but be realistic that 150k raids will be tight until the economy gets back to normal.Quote:

The funny thing is that a lot of people predicted this and here it is come true.
Now, a week ago, the majority of people just couldn't wait for this update. Most people were only thinking about how the update was going to help them: shiny new walls purchased with elixir, heroes ready to smash bases after a quick power nap, etc.
Now we are seeing that the elixir walls are affecting the game economy just as people predicted, and the majority are complaining about the poor loot. Wait till they see their leaders reluctant or unable to fill CCs for war. Donations are probably already down in most clans, as players tighten their elixir budgets.
I guess the morale of the story is be careful what you wish for, Supercell is likely to give it to you (especially if it increases the odds of folks buying gems). And no, I'm not blaming SC. They are just giving people what they want.
Meanwhile, two seconds after this posts, someone will say, "I don't know what you're talking about, I just scored 8 billion gold in one raid. Change your trophy range, etc."
But just like the old lady sitting at the casino smirking because her fancy lever-pulling technique has just caused her to win big while all the other losers in the joint are dropping major coinage and steady coming up broke, the day is coming. Sure, some are still getting lucky right now (or claiming to, since they don't want to admit the emperor/update has no clothes/loot) but luck only lasts so long.
I have noticed that if I blow on my middle finger tip, a quick cool blow, and touch the next button in just the upper right corner of the rectangle, just above the "t" in next... I find bigger loot faster... :rolleyes:
Yeah, it got pretty bad real fast.
I don't necessarily blame SC, but more so impatient clashers. They all saw the quick payout (lix for walls) without considering the consequences of dumping all that elixir. I'm thinking (hoping!!!) the issue will correct itself in the next couple weeks once less smart clashers realize they'll need lix for wars and troop upgrades, and that wasting it on walls wasn't really the best option...
I have noticed this im in crystal and a th10... Loot is really bad since the update for some reason!
PHP Code:n
Laughing at elderly lady analogy...so true. I don't blame CoC for corporatism...I think they screwed the pooch on this one...but I don't blame them for seeking higher income. It's the way of Corporativism....whether that is good or bad I make no comment.Quote:

ever did have too much...i'd have a nice expensive army to take out strong bases for the huge gold andd DE stash
We shall see if the whines by the Biebers now include elixir....forgetting this is what they demanded...
