It is a pain, i need at least 1 hero up to make 50% without overusing spells, so it means 1 attack/hour. It is sluggish, but at least consistent. I do not get attacked very often since i already have great defenses, but sometimes getting attacks means i average about 1m resources per day max + a good amount of DE wich means that at least my heroes are being upgraded. Other 4 builders usually stay idle for long periods, so is the lab.

yeah, game is sucking elephant balls and i dont hope they will fix this - they need gemmers buying stuff too much for this. Loot is ♥♥♥♥, the current collectors and upgrades and battle loot were designed to suit at maximum th8, but they sticked th9 and 10 up games sss anyway and kept the exponential dificulty curve kicking, so now they aint able to fix itwithout breaking the game utterly on lower levels. A shame.

And really, I think you nailed it in the last paragraph there. And probably the thing that made this so obvious was the elixir for walls change. Now it is very plainly obvious to most all TH10 and many TH9 players that the economy is broken...

I tried loons in M2 and every time I logged off, I got smoked big time for huge elixir losses. As in, there was no way I was going to pay for my loons and make back what I'd lost in elixir in one raid. Wasn't a big deal in the evenings when I could keep the game open while waiting for the next set of loons to cook, but was a bit of problem when I went to bed for the night and woke up to huge elixir losses. And then I couldn't raid at work, so after the shield ran out, that would be another big loss.

(Should mention though that i dont need elixir - troops and spells maxed)
Perhaps im using too many spells but with the bases im seeing that have loot, i need them.

To everyone else, I'm not saying loot is good or the game is fine, but I am saying you can scrape by if you adapt. My playing time and spending is dwindling though, because it just isn't as much fun anymore.

I do the same thing but I usually stay in the 2850-2950 range. I find that when I'm up here if my th is outside its about a 99% chance that I will get sniped. In fact, if you get up around 2925+ most of the time you get hit by players WAY above you so you only lose 1 or 2 trophys at a time and it's easier to maintain your level while you log in and out.

However, the second your th goes inside, you will be hit by a GoWi army. It's guaranteed.

It's so hit and miss it's crazy. Yesterday was actually a really good day farming wise. I found a lot of exposed ths to snipe for a nice bonus and also some very good raids for 300/300 without having to use more than 1 spell (I don't even bother putting DE numbers up anymore cuz DE is everywhere). However, when I logged on in the evening I hit next for over 20 minutes and ended up losing gold (luckily I still made a 150k elixer profit).

I just skip bases until I can find one that I can get at least 200/200 with 0 or 1 spell. Before this elixir for walls debacle the farming wasn't great (I regularly hit next 100+ times), but I could keep all 5 builders and lab going constantly, and still upgrade usually a wall a day (lava). Since the update, I regularly have 2 or 3 builders free and my lab went dormant for a couple of days and I almost never do walls anymore.

I'm playing less and less and just find myself doing clan wars.

get on you global chat and warn the new players

Since its obvious by now that SC caused this situation intentionally, not a mistake or miss judgment.. We can do onething that can have them listen and fix the situation.

If everyone got on their global chat whenever they can and tell all those new commers about what is facing them in the future , and maybe direct them to read this thread . I am sure SC will stop being so greedy and back off .

The last 3 days have been absolutely horrific looting wise. I'm close to jacking the game in if this continues.

I'm a maxed THL8 and THL6's keep coming up with next to nothing. This happening for anyone else? Why? Why? Why?

Just complete bull♥♥♥♥ and no point whatsoever in raiding. Why should I even bother upgrading to THL9 as I won't be able to upgrade anything. Spent a few hours searching for a raid so I could do my clan war attack.

SC please fix whatever you've done as people have had enough.

Simple solution to this madness is to stop gold cost for searches and do 1 gem resource boost once a week. Oh and adding new levels to current rescource pumps.

I think we'll see more of this with the higher league bonuses. More lower camps are venturing upward to try to get the bigger loot rewards. With my TH9 camp in gold 1-3, I see TH7 and even sometimes a few TH6 camps come up on matchmaking. To some extent, I'd love to see SC get rid of the loot penalty for attacking lower camps once a camp ventures above a certain level. For example, a TH8 in crystal is fair game for TH9 and 10 without a loot penalty. Would keep people from venturing up above their play level and creaking more "nexts" for those of us that belong at that trophy level...

And while I'm on the warpath today, SC, please stop the lighting spells only attacks on dark elixir storage or taking any other resources. Lightning spell should only be effective on defences only. What is the point in me putting in the centre of my base if any idiot can zap it without any skill???

If they wipe out my base to get my dark elixir, then I have no complaints.
