Loots not good, but if you're LOSING gold and elixir by trying to raid, you can't farm

You can always farm with goblins who always get you positive income.

But what is the efficiency?
Loot per hour is the thing that people are complaining.

The bots are running non-stop. They certainly can get the loot.
Or someone had 900 wins per season. For them, loot is fine.

People can farm better than bots, but they do not have 16-24 hours per day dedicated to this game.

Loot is really bad right now. Like REALLY BAAD. after the update, and i think even the clan wars introduction update, the loot has been really bad. I used to farm like 3-4 mill gold and almost 5 mill elixir in like gold 1 when i first became th 9. Now im th 9 pretty upgraded, and can barely get 1 mill of each resource a day. On top of that, people are spending all the their elixir on walls (me too im keeping elixir to a bare minimum raiding with BAM) so theres no elixir as well. All the bases i find are empty with nothing at all like average 25-50 k each. I used to find empty bases with 200 k average all the time. On top of all that, I seem to be the only person with decent loot cus im saving up, and instead of going for my town hall everyones going for my loot. I managed to save 3 mill for a tesla upgrade, and havent upgraded anything for 5 days. I used to have too much gold and my builders (3) were always busy. this is a big problem, I have stopped playing the game as much because of this, i am searching for ever spending almost 100 k sometimes looking for a base to attack. THIS IS RIDICULOUS

Loot's been ♥♥♥♥ these days...the fact that I spend more hours on the coc forums than the game makes me think why am I still continuing?.....

So just when I was about to call it a day, I found 350k of each in C1. Took a lot of searching though. Can I please get some more of these?

... I am sure that if I would continue pushing my luck, then I will probably spend everything I've made in this raid on searching.

So I call it a day now!

I never thought I would post in here but im doing it for the love of the game..


Im a maxed th9 and been playing for a year but now I've come to the conclusion that I can no longer justify spending my time on coc anymore. Since last update its almost been impossible for me to find elixir and the fun is now gone.
Today I broke my shield to give it a try, ended up nexting for 150k without being able to find a base I could end up with + in elixir by attacking and I use barch!! I simply just logged out without attacking.
I've been from G2-C2 since last update and found no difference in loot.


Imo the game is ruined when you no longer can find Elixir to keep attacking!


Just wanted to let you know you now lost another very active and occasionally paying customer who once found the game addicting and fun and now the game just frustrates me.

I don't think the loot sucks cause of returning quitters. Most of them that I know have already re-quit due to loot.
As far as there being to many new players spreading out the loot I doubt that because a TH Lvl 2 or whatever isn't going after the same bases as me (mid Lvl 9).
Loot sucks but if your nexting away your gold your probably aiming to high. Attack for less rss or lose it, but in last two days including today I have found 3 bases with 200K+ RSS. Having said that I'm thinking SC has slightly modified their inactive base "ghost" algorithms, or it was just sheer coincidence.
"The game isn't about raiding inactive bases" or something along those lines. Not everyone your hitting with GoWiPe or WiWi is doing the same. Some were Bam/Barching otherwise there would have never been a surplus of Elixer pre update. The elixer wall update probably didn't help the current situation as most buy walls with elixer so they don't get raided out of their pathetic RSS, myself included.
I think the Halloween update will worsen this situation slightly, but hope they will (probably quitetly) adjust so we see more inactive bases.

I've somewhat alluded to this in previous posts, but frankly I've become convinced that SC will never allow loot to go significantly above the bare minimum of what players will accept. To me, that level is no longer fun, and I won't play again until I feel it is (if ever). As I've said earlier, one mil (gold) an hour used to be the norm at TH 9, now you'd be doing ok to get that if you boost. Unfortunately (IMO), players have largely went along with the loot decrease until recently, and I don't see many people here willing to ask for a return to those kind of loot levels... probably because it's so far out of reach that they think SC would scoff at the thought of it.

Sure, I'm a veteran player who probably has his expectations set a bit high, but that's what happens when you go through the process of having one of the best games I've ever played have the fun sucked out of it by declining loot. I get that the later stages should be harder, but the challenge should be based on raiding skills not on patience. I'm willing to raid players who have loot and I'm capable of getting it, but nexting over and over until you find an inactive or the occasional juicy active base just isn't fun. SC can cite any statistic they want about loot "not changing" (although there's no way they are giving the statistics that we are actually asking about), but I don't believe the player experiences lately match that narrative. There are issues with loot at higher levels, and they should do something to correct for it. However, with this issue getting worse over time instead of better, I've quit holding my breath and just accepted the fact that SC's idea of balanced loot is incompatible with mine. Hopefully the outrage in these loot threads is enough to sway SC, though, and I'll come back to the game as soon as SC makes a meaningful move towards fixing the problem.

And with that, I guess I'll shut up about it until there's anything new to comment about.

i'm quite surprised to read this from the same person who once taught us to farm at champs...
I find great loot across 2400-3200 cups range, using balloonions, and so do my clanmates including some TH9s. 2-3 hours a day total online time would typically bring 4-5 millions gold. Call it good or poor income, but it's exactly the same as it used to be for the last year, neither better, nor worse.

Hi,

I think there is not loot problem for TH9's unlike TH10. Because, when I was TH9, I usually got 8 million in a day. At my maximum effort, I got 11 million. But in TH10, terrible loot.

Tell that to all the TH9s crying about losing money

Loot is great. TH10, 2500-2700 cups, loons or archers+hogs. All builders are busy. And, btw, it has always been good. When I was TH9, it had been good, and when I was TH8, and TH7, TH6, and so on. Just keep on playing, and learn how to do it right.
