im actually liking your thinking! i may try hogs with it! Thanks for the thought! Certain amount? or just a few?

If you want to barch your way up to masters you should probably just look for bases you can for sure one star. You'll still make money on loot bonus, farm when you actually get there

You must have the loot bonus to make it worthwhile.

A lot of people who are on this forum complaining have 1 billion + gold grabs. You don't get that much gold unless you are able to execute an efficient strategy so your comment about being more "surgical" is 100% correct. Most good loon users rarely use spells (and when they do it's never more than 1). The problem is that many of us have to next 100+ times (no matter what trophy range we are at) on a fairly consistent basis to find a base that can be hit with a "surgical" attack.

What I'm finding is that since the update I'm now going all in with my troops and spells because it's the only way I can get decent loot. I'm attacking full blown th10s with lvl 3 ITs because they are the only ones with any loot. And of course it's horribly inefficient (not to mention it cuts way down the number of raids I do) when I have to use more than 2 spells. So the number of raids I'm doing is going way down.

All I want is to be able to find a decent base in a decent amount of nexting. That's it. With loons, there's really no way I'm going to blow out the game and max my base too fast anyway, so why not just let the players actually play the attacking game and not the "next" game?

Trophy range can completely affect how much you next. The factors relating to higher town halls can include how many preemies or lower town halls you are surrounded by. They wish to have that badge and do not raid unless they can spend it quickly. They have no defense other than to not have loot, this discourages raiding them and increases your nexting. Go to where they do not do this. I regularly have to next past fat storages near 2200, but yes there are still many lower town halls whose only defense is to hold not loot.

tl;dr People have differing goals in this game and people must work around that.

I actually agree that 30-40 million per day is crazy (and yes there were plenty of guys doing it) and can't be sustained...but for god sakes can we please have some sort of happy medium here?

They corrected what they saw to be a problem in an attempt to improve the game for the players, it's a big leap to get to malfeasance.

Who does not want more loot? At the same time would the game not be just as boring if you did not have variety? It is well within an individual clasher's ability to change his circumstances thereby improving his experience.

Some of us want a better game experience, the minority that like the status quo, simply because they have a lot of time to next and barch are being selfish in their outlook.

A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.

Ignoring the inflammatory posts.

I or we(?) am not/are not saying use exclusively tier 1 troops there are other options, and yes farming the bonus is one of them. If you wish to use OP armies you are not going to be as profitable and rightly so for everyone would use OP armies, boring. What can I say? Think outside the box or remove the blinders that prevent progression.

And you betcha, adapt to your circumstances you are playing the game along with millions of other players who are using varying tactics. These millions of other players may also play the game differently than you do. I for one to not go into others houses and demand they act a certain way in my presence.

Another Loot thread Yay. Relying on inactives is absurd. Looting based on a person making an account and stop playing should be the best option for you. Loot has been changed many times and complaints are the same. My raids are fine. Last 6 raids in an hour netted a little over 1.3 gold 1.2 lix and 7900 De. Two of the raids for around 140k gold and lix, but was all in the collectors.

Play the game and enjoy it, or move on.

My friend asked me to show the game.
He looked at me like on idiot after 15 min of pressing next I couldn't find anyone worth attacking

I keep hoping when someone does a loot video they'd speed up the replay. It's horrible enough when I have to hit next constantly, I don't want to watch someone else do it.

That's my constructive criticism for the day.

I have played Clash of Clans for nearly 6 months now and finally have reached TH9. I have spent much time playing and much gold and elixir on my base and troops. I have even dropped money $ on some bags of gems to shorten time or grab some loot on the next big upgrade . I always had fun playing, but recently it has become pointless to attack or participate in clan wars. I use to play for 1 to 2 hours per day and also attack throughout the day. However, I cannot find enough loot to sustain my units for attack or participate in clan wars with good troop compositions or upgrade my base.

Please focus on fixing the loot system or eventually I will lose interest and move onto another game.

6-10 level 5 hogs and a heal spell (if possible) you need to attack bases with easily accessible splash or at least a few defenses clumped together and take a couple of wall breakers with you... for the barbs and archers. Wizards in your CC can really help. hogs have a tendancy to trigger the CC.

Some of those bases had really low defenses. Its not going to be an ideal solution to get to masters but at least it can help u get some resources.

another option is using 6-8 giants to break into bases with some wallbreakers but walls can really slow them down.

So guys! Like i said in one of my previous threads...loot has been tough to find for me being a town hall 10. I have also heard from a few town hall 8s saying that they are having difficulties as well. Now i was pretty shocked hearing this from a town hall 8, but it has been pretty common lately. Now, I think Supercell should maybe take into consideration some of our requests as a community on these forums. I've already seen hundreds and hundreds of complaints but have they ignored us? This video is just a short example of how crystal 1 (usually one of the best places for inactives) is kind of in a drought like many of the other leagues currently. Now i am pushing to masters league ATM, praying to find some loot soon! Only loot I've been able to manage lately has been from clan wars which is shocking as well. THANKS!

So leave your opinions guys and also any leagues that you have been successful in! TOWN HALL LEVEL? LEAGUE/TROPHY RANGE?
