I don't mean to say there's not a problem - there's a massive problem - but in part it pre-existed the last update.

I'd like to see:
1. Incentives to defend
2. Better bonuses towards cost recovery on attack.

People don't get more joy from raiding inactives. Raiding storages are way more fun but unfortunately there is a problem with this approach.
1.The army costs more to make
2. the army takes longer to make
3 You are taking somebody elses money that would have used it to upgrade their base, so the net increase for the economy is almost zero (with the measily win bonus).

All these things mean that storage raiding takes longer to max your base and doesn't help the overall economy at all. Previously there were a lot more inactives to raid than there are now and I feel very sorry for new players who are really going to struggle to get their bases to a high level compared to older players.

Collectors buff and achievement for maxing them (with high gem rewards).

I definitely see the allure of an abandoned base from time to time :o, but it's surprising to me too that this is the option that's getting most votes at this point. I personally would prefer to rely on an increased and stable production rate or higher bonuses (that motivate me to attack) than the chance of finding an inactive base, just a personal preference


@DroogJanus, thanks for creating this thread, pretty insightful

I see them all over the place yesterday but barley any today...

I vote for league bonuses increase:D

Yes, but overall option five (more inactives) is only pulling 20% of the vote - so 80% of players agree with Supercell's policy of encouraging storage raiding. That's a pretty good result, I would think.

I voted for increased league bonuses, assuming that they would be scaled to number of stars/percent of destruction. I don't think TH sniping needs to be more profitable.:D

ETA: well, it was 20% when I wrote this post, now it's 30. I guess it's too early in the vote to draw conclusions ...:o

The best way I can think to improve the game is revise the battle matching system. Base battles on levels not on trophies. There are level 100+ attacking level 60. This is ludicrous there is no incentive to attack anyone if I can sandbag it and attack only people in my trophy level. Then I can be the big fish in the small pond if I adopt this strategy and no one will be able to touch me.
The suggestions in the poll are good I especially like number 4 but the overarching problem is still the battle system.

No problems, I was most curious.

If everyone had always had to use power armies to farm nobody would have farmed a max base by now.


If you find barching boring thats' fine (I do too) but it shouldn't be penalised or discouraged because that is discouraging efficient farming and you don't have to do it if you don't want to (and don't mind waiting a bit longer for your upgrades).

I think you're reading too much into my example. I'm not suggesting we turn Gowiwi into a farming army. I actually like barching, each base is like a puzzle to complete and get the reward and finally let me be really clear, my idea is about improving profitability of the game no matter how you raid. It's also about improving the profitability of war which, for me, is more important than improving farming. My idea will not penalise a barching farmer.

In terms of the vote, I'm surprised the inactives option has only got 30% of the vote, considering the vocal, emotive nature of the subject, I was expecting 50%-60%. VOTE MORE CLASHERS!!

Relying loot improvement solely on dead base/ghost base is not a solution IMO. Finding dead base is luck, I think its totally random and if you got it is just pure luck.

The best solution is either improving league bonus or clan war bonus or even implement both.

Improving league bonus:
This will encourage players to make efficient and effective troops to WIN, and get the bonus. Nexting is not just for finding dead base but for finding base layout that you can actually destroy and have profit margin (Bonus minus troops cost).

Improving clan war win prize:
Improving this will encourage all clans to participate in war and the war will even more exciting because all players want to win due to the bonus, surely will make clan war a must.

for me both solutions need to be implemented by Supercell. And I think supercell profit will not be reduced if they implemented this.

Addition:

After played for few months, I have came across different players regarding this loot thing:
#1. People that farm frequently, with NO boost on barrack.
#2. People that farm several times a day with boost on barrack (can be 3 times boost a day).
#3. People that boost barrack and gems time construction.
#4. People that just can't farm, and buy everything and go straight to trophy push.

Number #1: No Profit for SC
Number #2: Little profit
Number #3 and #4: high profit

Im sure this #2, #3 and #4 will still be there if SC increase the win bonus. Additionally more people will come and stay long. You know SC, many people play less because of this loot thing.

Definitely 1 or 5.

They seem the most reasonable, and I like the sound of them.
