To those outspoken individuals who don't even have a clue what your initial post meant (specifically showing your defense logs), he's showing how TH9 guys raided for over 200K combined loot, not epic loot by any means (like you guys seem to expect every time or your world gets turned upside down) but not the worst loot grab in the world either. You gotta GRIND! 200K+ loot raids add up. Shoot, when it's slow for me, I raid for 50-100K combined using a 15k or less barch army. I'll do this a lot as is necessary. Sure I love the 300, 400, 500K combined raids, but this game isn't all about that. So many players just want the easy way.
I was off the last 2 days and did a fair amount of raiding each day throughout the entire days (along with other errands and things I needed to do). I was able to start all 3 of my Teslas to level 4 (6,000,000 gold raided to start those), plus I upgraded 2 of my bombs (2,000,000 to do those, 1 mil each) and I have an additional 2.7 mil additional that I raided after doing all the aforementioned upgrades. That's over 10 million gold. I'm sitting on near maxed elix storages, almost 6 mil.
I'm TH8 and am getting so much loot. I almost feel sorry for TH9 and 10 guys, aside from the fact that the game is supposed to be hard at the top.
I understand the loot penalty, it's necessary. I understand that TH9 and especially TH10 armies are VERY EXPENSIVE if you're not just simply barching or using another inexpensive composition which I understand can get boring. I too like to use expensive armies as well, although I've been raking all this loot in with just barch so I've enjoyed barching over and over BECAUSE I've been getting loot at a rate I enjoy.. it's helped prevent non-stop barching from getting boring for me.
Life at the higher TH levels has its pros and its cons. In the early stages of the game, everything is cheap and fast to upgrade and everyone falls in love with that pace. Unfortunately for the less patient and the simply greedy, as the game progresses, as you pros know all so well, everything gets more expensive and time consuming to progress. That's how it's supposed to be, how Supercell intends for it to be.. and to guys like Xizeta and I, we respect that and are pleased with it being that way... Chalk it up to us being cool like that.
Hey don't trip though... beat this post up, cause after all, I'm just a TH8, you guys are TH9s and 10s RULERS OF THE WORLD, ALL KNOWING, tell me I'm wrong, complain more and post negative reviews about the game and focus your life at this point to petitioning and trying to get the world to stop liking and playing CoC. I'm amazed you guys get so bent out of shape, seriously, that's wild. Good luck with everything though, I do hope something improves for you so you can once again enjoy the game more.
