Stop Cities with no resources showing up in attack searches

Why are Cities showing up in my attack searches with hardly any resources ?
Lots have less than 1000 and most have less than 50000 which is pointless as I use more elixer than that to train troops so I end up searching around 20 times per attack to find someone to attack, this wastes lots of gold
It is too hard to get elixer in this game as it is and needs to be fixed, you may have some of us buying it but that wont last for long as people like myself get fed up of not being able to farm enough to do research upgrades and will stop playing the game because it is a waste of money and not fun if you have to pay for every upgrade.
The point of the game is to attack people for resources and trophies and at the moment it is near impossible to get more than 1m elixerand it makes the game feel like a chore and takes the fun out of it.
PLEASE STOP CITIES WITH NO RESOURCES SHOWING UP CONSTANTLY IN ATTACK SEARCHES!!!

Matchmaking doesn't take resources available, it's solely based on available villages +/- a set number of trophies from your own.

If the folks near your own trophy level are below your own Town Hall level, where the loot penalty is kicking in, or they simply have spent all their resources or have very little to raid, you will likely need to adjust your trophy level to find an area with more similar Town Halls. It can only present resources that matchable players have.

if you would take a look at your fan page on facebook you would see that lots of players are complaining they can not get enough resources after the last update and lots are quitting. The fact that amounts with less than 1000 and an average of 40000 are showing up around 1400 trophies all the time is pathetic and something needs to be done to improve this.
Friends in my clan at a higher trophy range are having the same problems finding enough resources and get the same results as me in their searches.
I spent money every payday on this game but I think it is time to quit because the only way to get enough resources to upgrade troops now is to use gems and I refuse to pay for every update.
Learn from the mistake of kabam with their game Dragons of Atlantis they lots millions of players after an update on the game that killed the gameplay.The last update has made farming harder than it was before when it was too hard as it was already.

The game was ruined with the last update and you think it's funny?
go back under your bridge you troll, you probably buy elixer every time you upgrade

Resources available to loot is based on resources the village you're attacking has to their name. Right after every update, people spend all their resources on upgrades, usually before they logoff, so anyone attacking them gets very little resources. If I raid all day or night to start an upgrade with both (or all 3) resources, and I log off with 7k of each, what are you going to raid? That is before a TH difference penalty.

What TH level are you at 1400 cups? 5-6-7? or are you TH 8-9 dropping to 1400 and expecting to find 200k every battle?

I hear what you're saying, but I too have been playing since August, and EVERY update it takes 1-2 weeks after where people have reasonable resources in their villages unless you are in a trophy range with your peers where there is no TH penalty, and your peers are saving up for bigger updates as well.

It's not SC's fault if you lack skill. I spend less than 30k elixir on every raid and get at least triple of that in return. Why would I need to buy them if there's plenty? You can take a look at my base and see the troops there. Get a calculator too. I always stay in 1300-1900 cups. I had trouble last week finding loot in 1900 but that's because I noticed that most villages I go to search are th9 who have spent their resources on lvl7 teslas, wizard towers and clan castles, so I had difficulty finding gold and gradually went down to find a sweeter spot. But elixir? Nope, not much, since only the lvl 4 DB uses elixir from the update. I've updated mine and used 4 million elixir and the next day I have 2 million again I earned from raid.

They are complaining because something very simple has occured that they aren't thinking of. Ever since the update, leagues give you a more rewarding bonus to the higher trophies. So logically most of the good players that have the potential to be raided of many resources go high up into trophies to get the better bonuses, while the ones that are incapable of reaching that high or just simply don't want to stay where they are. You need to go even higher in trophies, when you think you're at a good level, take it up fifty or a hundred more.

I'm also experiencing the hardship of obtaining resources on attacks but i'm slowly going up the ranks untill I find a decent position. People are always going to complain on things that make things harder, that's life, but you just have to live through it.

Also, if they stopped showing "cities" with next to no resources then people that get there before you will empty them, give them a shield, and then you're back to square one.

My storages are almost always 4 million out of 4 million. Elixir is really easy to farm, especially considering camps, barracks, and upgrades are the only thing they are used for :)

I believe Fakhouri made a guide to farming/raiding, so if you want to check it out, you can find it here

yeah yeah you guys are the best gamers and I am a noob that needs better skills horray for you!!
Did you guys just come here to brag? ffs get a life, you are not helping the situation by saying there is no problem when there is one.
The game has crappy drop rates for attacks and the collectors don't pay out enough and results showing up all the time with nothing worth taking.
The troll that says he uses 30k elixer per attack is a fool, what is the point of upgrading so I have dragons, pekkas and healers if they are too expensive to use?
How is being limited to basic troops because you can't farm enough elixer to build the good troops after working so hard to get them fun.
I am at level 9 by the way and I am fed up like lots of others and your game will soon have half the players it does now. Thanks for listening this game is a waste of time and money and was once fun but now feels like too much of a chore to continue.

30k elixer per attack ? a pekka cost that in itself.
You are not helping by saying there is no problem when there is one.
Limiting yourself to basic troops just so you can play the game makes you an expert gamer?
Do you troll all the post in this forum so you can brag about your skill and shoot others down?
Get a life and stop commenting on peoples posts you are a troll and a fool.

first, i am not appreciative of the attack. if i wanted to brag about how great i am, i would post a pic of my base in the base design thread and brag about it and myself there.
second, if you are only level nine (as in level and not town hall) you have nothing to complain about. if you are a town hall nine, well...good luck with that. my best rading army costs less than 45k elixir and i clash to win (as in, i pick on the big fish and dont farm constantly.).

everyone has been trying to tell you this nicely, but, i will try it one more time.
its a game. adapt to the changes in it. on the whole, supercell is not directly responsible for the amount of loot available. they simply set that at x town hall level, you may raid x percent from town hall level y. YOUR FELLOW CLASHERS are directly responsible for the actual amounts available, based on how much they raid, how much they gem, and how much their collectors generate. and,since we all are trying to upgrade to get the shiny new toys, immediately after an update, there isn't a whole lot of loot to go around. (funny, i think Twister said this earlier in this thread...)

if you really wNt to see change, go rant at the people with level five mines at town hall nine....those are the people really contributing to the deficit.
by coming to the forums starting yet another thread about how sc is just out to get players to spend money and then calling the people who try to help you trolls is not constructive, nor is your vitriolic commentary.

the point of this game is strategy...you build the cheapest army possible to destroy the bases you are matched with to maximize your gains. the point of the stronger troops is to counter the stronger defenses at the higher levels. the fact that they are "too expensive" tells me you are either in way too low of a trophy bracket and using them unecessarily against bases that could be defeated using far less expensive troops or are mot planning your attacks as conservatively as maybe you should.

and if i wish to compliment a mod for making the same point i have been trying to make in several other threads, i will do so.

~talanai, who is currently annoyed. very, very annoyed.
