After asking SC directly in email, they say nothing has changed. Talking with everyone our clan, since this whole loot issue became an issue with everyon ein the clan at first.... NOW i began asking them who buys gems, who doesn't. & this is what i found out the last few days...
Those that DO buy gems, are not having issues finding loot, sharing replays etc
Those that do NOT buy gems are getting bored with the game. and are pretty much done. Already lost some good, cool, long term people.
so, the bored players will increase and be the abandoned bases you all buyers of gems shall find. YAY for those who buys gems :D - id be buying them too if we had a better income. so, im not judging anyone who plays the game.
What else ive noticed, our clan has a core group of about 12-14 of us who were all about the same stage when we met. Now some of us are WAY ahead of others and we've all been active until recently. That's even splitting us apart a little and leaving some players behind.
Unless, when they do the maintenance break that removes the one gem boost to the Spells, everything goes back to normal (as it was before the code changes), i will probably hand over the keys to the clan to someone else and sit it out for a while. They refuse to help me learn my login info, several emails now. If i had lost my base, too bad for me. To them, "So, who cares"?
i wasn't lying at the beginning of this thread (somewhere in here) and a few others about "not finding loot", when i said, "it just isn't fun anymore" - and one Player said she is now, "Bored" because she cant find loot to do any upgrades. Her builders are just sitting there sleeping for the last week, because when you DO find something, someone comes along with MAX ARMY, LEVEL 6 TROOPS and takes away 3 days worth of work and saving.
thats not only UN-fun, its discouraging. So, ill probably lose her friendship in the clan and she is always one getting 4-6 stars per war, someone we can count on.
The over all morale of the clan has been dissolving also since this loot ♥♥ began. no coincidence, ppl are discouraged.
All good things on earth must come to an end, especially FADS (and bad things too).... sometime. I just assumed the way it was going before the end of that week long gem boost for collectors @ 1 gem, (guess they wanted it to end with a bang and a false hope for some's future), that it was really getting exciting for me. That lasted until the day after my TH went to 8 and i used up my loot and had to find some more... where is it? I don't know. cant even find abandoned bases anymore and if i do, im getting sloppy RECENT seconds. and not enough loot to pay for the army i have standing there wanting to grab it. I cant save it, because it gets ripped off once shield is gone (which i ALWAYS broke shield before so i could raid), it densest produce enough in collectors to make much difference in 12 hours. loot just keeps getting cancelled out
And no one give me that ♥♥ about it being free so don't complain. its either fun or its not. Its either FREE or its not free. And now it doesn't appear to be free. but it IS getting boring and no where near as fun or exciting as it was.
Do what you want SC, its your baby. yes, grab it while you can. but that isn't the way to make it last. FADS come and go. the whiners will go away and leave abandoned bases, and you'll be left with only ppl who buy gems and play. For a while....and it will be known as a game you can play for free, but unless you PAY for gems, you wont have fun after you reach a certain stage.
BTW: There is obviously a loot issue or this thread would've fizzled out long ago.
It is not SC causing the problem, the basic matchmaking system has not changed in over a year. They have actually made recent improvements to loot from war bonus and league bonus increases, which were suggestions taken right here from the forums. I am sure they are monitoring the situation and will make future adjustments in the next update.
It is not bots farming everything dry either, I am sure they exist but they are a tiny percentage of the population, based on the 3000-5000 views on youtube on videos advertising such bots. Remember this game has 50 million downloads. The active player base far out number these bots and surely will be looting much more as a whole than all the bots put together.
My theory is the decreased loot is caused by the higher active player base, due to the recent mass marketing done by SC. Higher competition between farmers equals decreased loot. Hopefully SC will make adjustments in the future to compensate for this.
Loot was decent the last couple of days and pretty horrible tonight. Not sure why it keeps swinging. Fix it.
It is because more people play during certain times of the day, making loot less available. It is not something SC can just *fix*.Quote:

Why not just stop giving shields for the destruction of the town hall instead.
5,15 million a day, folks, according to this

otherwise, it's 2,4 million-a-day according to various google searches.
The system may torture a certain segment of customers, but if it brings YOU that much money overall, what makes you reconsider? what's stopping you from planting trolls run by paid (and smart) employees? effort-wise, they did run COC ads on major events and venues! And what good would listening to some loot complainers do? Especially if they're perceived as just some minority within a minority
This is just some terrible bit of gameplay in life, is all
Does anyone read this thread?
