It's as different as night and day between my experience and his.

I am working so hard to find elixir and like I said I just nexted through 212k of gold and didn;t come across a single base with more than 150k elixir, yet he gets those every 20 mins... ♥♥♥ is going on??

I never boost barracks, my army composition takes around 20 minutes to train and is training while I'm nexting, so I can raid every around 24 minutes.

Maybe its just me taking all the loot :p

Really?! You're not familiar with the effectiveness of Barch and BAM which many feel yield the highest rates of loot gain? Especially for farming elixir, good luck making a good profit with more expensive armies. Last night it wouldn't have matter if I had a giant-wiz-wb army to go in for storages, there were simply none to be found. Every base I see has dumped all their loot into walls. So many bases with less than 10k of one resource or the other. The only thing that's still abundant is DE, I can still easily farm several thousand per hour.

I've used balloonion, Barch, BAM, GoBarch, GoWiPe, hogs, everywhere from 1900 to 3200 and everywhere in between. Fact: My net rate of gain in gold per hour has been cut in half, or more, from recent loot-change updates. My elixir fsrming rate is even lower. Hats off to you guys who are finding more loot. Before these updates I could easily farm a million gold or elix per hour, more if boosted, easily keeping all five builders busy. Typical 4-hr session now has a net rate of 400k/hr most nights. On some it's worse.

The point of my post is to supply feedback to Supercell and share my very real negative experience with the game recently, not to argue with those still doing well finding loot.

I have no idea why but for some reason loot for me during the day is no good but at night it is amazing

But I agree and you have a good point that so many atractive elixirupgrades in the same update had a negative effect on elixir right away. Hopefully elixir will improve a bit at least. We should be starting to see something very soon as many TH9/10 farmers probably have them done by now.

I hope so but I still think they should slowly make small changes to add loot. Add another level to collectors at Th9-10. Wait a month and see what happens. Increase war bonus for winners and losers. Wait a month. Etc.

I've been playing 24 hours this day and started from G3 up to C3 and drop again to G2. I counted only 3 or 4 inactive bases which have over 200k of gold/elixir.

My conclusion is SC removed or hide them. For what? It's simple question and simple answer.

If we can get loot easily and upgrade our defenses/troops which quite expensive especially for TH 9 and TH 10, we just wait for 7 or 14 days. If we can't wait so we gems to finish it. That's mean SC only get income from one resource.

But, if loot is very difficult plus we lose our patience upgrading defenses/troops, not mentioned if our base have been raid by others and we lose our resources, SC will get income from more than one resources.

I can understand that and I will not complain about that, cause that's we called business or economic principle or marketing strategy or whatever...same with other public company.

One thing I can do is stop buying gems, stop playing this game, try to forget all the money that was spent, try to forget the time that has been wasted, and move on to another similar game but not similar developer/creator.

And from now on, goodbye to Clash of Clans, nice to be with you since September 2013. I hope my base will fix the loot system if only SC will not remove it.

Bye all...

I'm perfectly aware of barch and bam effectiveness and I'm usually using those type of armies to raid (both storages and collectors), but since I'm going to th10 in 2 weeks, and a maxed th10 clanmate suggested me to use GiBarch to farm at th10, I started using it to make myself ready for th10 farming.

I guess I need to learn how to farm th10s and th9s storages with no spells and a tier 1 army if its still possible at th10.

Anyway, its weird for me you can't find good loot at all those ranges and with all those troops compositions and yet I myself find lots of th9s and th10s with lots of loot and even abandoned ones.

Not only that, that maxed th10 from my clan still shares many replays of him finding lots of loot in 1900-2000 trophy range.

Maybe we are lucky, but it seems weird, since this loot being consistently like that for me. Maybe you are just unlucky.

Did another 8 skulls in gold 1 tonight. 1800-1900. That's 18 skulls in two nights of raiding. All collectors.

Great day of clashing today , made 3,5 mil . Was happy until i did the math . Did about 30 attacks , won 20 . All of them gave me around 200k gold and elixer witch means the total loot plus bonus was 7,1 mil . Did i really nexted 3,6 mil away today ? Ok so i lost some with defences but this is the last time i'll calculate how much i've actually nexted away , it's depressing . Minus my losses it's still 3 mil wasted . I attack with balloon minion like i've always did since i've hit th10 . I don't believe it's ever been this bad �� . A well at least i was having fun chatting with my clan . One thing i also don't understand is how 99% of the players play clash ? Every village i see is empty or almost empty , maybe one or two upgrades going .

I agree with all this. I started playing in November of 2013. I remember a few months ago, pretty much TH6-TH7 and early TH8 I was using a composition I made myself. I would find 300k gold and 300k elixir raids a lot, and I would find 200k-200k raids in just collectors a lot. I never really moved trophy range, because times were good. Then as SC made updates and claimed they were fixing the economy, the raiding slowly got worse and worse. Less inactive bases. Bases with harder defense, and less loot. It became less and less profitable. Eventually it would take 20 minutes of searching to find a raid I could make money on. I understand I was probably priveliged before, but now I can't find raids over 200K that are worth it. I stopped playing for about 3-4 months only to come back to even worse raiding. I dont have 30 minutes to throw away clicking next to find one raid, where I make 80k elix and break even on gold spent searching. Something needs to be done, go back to the way the game was 6 months ago.

Loot is good for me again!!
Yay!!!
