The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

What is SC's reasoning for not giving some form of multiplier on the league bonus for a 2-star or a 3-star? Especially if the multiplier had its own scaled down system, similar to that of the loot penalty, for hitting lower TH levels? Or have they not written that off as an idea?

This is a completely arbitrary example, but I am a TH9 farming (if you can call it that) at Crystal 2 right now. New league bonus is 50k/50k/200. Let's say they place a 1.3x multplier for simply hitting 50% and the TH, but a 2.0x multiplier for completely wiping it out. You bring in a heavier army expecting that, regardless of what dismal amount of loot these active players have left after dumping it into walls, you are going for a 100k/100k/400 bonus. Place a 25% penalty on the multiplier for hitting a TH below you, and a 50% penalty on the multiplier for hitting two TH's below you. If you combine that with other posters' input about treating the TH as a 5th storage for elixir/gold (and maybe even have 10% of your lootable DE from it), you'll see less TH snipes up at higher leagues and a gradual decrease in THs who "don't belong" up in those leagues, which should help in curbing any gaming of the system this would put into place. Would it not?

It would also reduce the gold and mental drain of constantly Nexting, b/c you are now looking for bases that you can level, and not just ones with stacked storages.

SuperCell clearly wants to shift this game in the direction that caters more towards active players and not farming the occasional inactive base that are collector gold mines, so wouldn't this have that effect? Active players, especially up at TH9/10 are knowledgeable enough to do resource dumps before they log off, unless they're saving up for some expensive upgrade. You can't force them to hold onto loot when they log off (especially now after this elixir for walls update), but you can cater to farmers so that there is still incentive to hit these bases regardless, and using more than just the standard BArch/BAM army composition.

I don't know, maybe there's a glaring hole in this logic that I'm not seeing, but it seems as though these commentors' ideas are miles ahead of what SuperCell has been implementing with their changes so far.

I'm a big supporter of this idea. Give an incentive for those who build strong armies and take down bases. It will create greater game play all around which I would think SC wants. Increase league bonus just gives more reason to leave TH on the outside and to snipe when the opportunity is there and move on.

people will just spend it ALL on walls.

This is why there is so little elixir now. And it is why the future of lix farming looks horrible. Lix for walls gave ppl something to drop their extra lix on. As such, we will NEVER see an abundance of lix while farming.

Also, as much as I WANT to build strong troops to attack with - why should I?? That is extra lix I could be dumping into my walls! BARCH is boring... But I'd rather not waste lix on troops now.

Lix for walls is unnecessary and should be taken back out. I know that will never happen, but it has ruined the game and the way the game SHOULD be played.

This is not true. Eventually everyone has their walls upgraded to where they are 3M a pop to upgrade. Then there becomes a lot more available in their storage again.

Key word here- eventually.

Well, outside of the golden hour early this am, for me, loot still stinks!

I'm TH10, in crystal I.

At least I got to squeeze in 1 wonderful attack during the golden hour...

Searching for 750k and cant find ♥♥♥♥, this is worse than before the update

Been online for 2 hours searching for an attack. Not one base found with over 80 k gold or elixir. Absolutely terrible loot right now :mad:
No point in extra league bonus when you can't find anyone with enough loot to attack and profit.

You think taunting people about your great loot is fun or funny? Let me show you how real people discuss this issue from a differing perspective:


You : I have found 250 k each raids all night. I'm th9 at 1500 trophies.


See how easy that was? Quoting someone who has spent two hours looking for the bare minimum of profitable loot with an overly happy tone and "I love it! " at the end is trolling. You would have even been ok had you not quoted someone clearly frustrated. But no ... you went there. If you're finding that loot ... good on you. But leave the statement and that's it. No need to gloat in other's faces like that.

my whole clans has bad loot rn.....

Loot is horrible. TH10, crystal I. not sure where to find any lix, but I've been losing lix all day unable to find any camps that I can break even on lix. made some gold, but without lix, I'm going to have to stop playing - don't even have enough to make a spell at the moment....

The update seems to have done nothing for the lix drought.
