Is there a reason not to increase loot cap for th8/9?

Here are some reasons I think cap increase is justified:

1. Increasing numbers of storages for th8/9 makes it rather difficult to hit all storages at same time.

2. Expensive and time consuming troops at th8/9 which is required to attack highly upgraded base. Especially at high trophy levels.

3. Game play should not be so focused on keeping players not maxed out and starved of resources. I wish to compete with others with high level defense and troop levels for trophies. Sick of farming months at low trophy level and never have the chance to enjoy high level game play.

Like every other game, high level should be exciting and full of action, I am maxed with my th8 and dreading the time when my th9 finishes and I will continue to use the same tier 1 troops to play for months and are only able to use high tier troops once a day upon waking up in the morning because of long build time and costs.

Of course there will be elithists coming here telling me how to play with tier 1 troops. I play them just fine tyvm, but I'm tired of playing them months after months. Think about how much fun it would be to be able to experiment with different high tier troop combinations without such big draw backs. Remember YOLO - you only live once.

I want 2 things:
1. Increase loot cap base on storage number
2. Lower build time for high tier troops, 30-45 min to fill your whole camp sounds reasonable to me. 2 hours however is ridiculous.

Ok, use your high leveled troops.:rolleyes:

OT: I agree with the shorter build times, but not with the loot cap increase. I'm th8 and getting decent loot to keep all five builders going, and I only play about 1-2 hours a day. TH8 gets enough loot.

TH9, too, can get enough loot. Simply attack other th9's. In the 1700's I find 200/200k th9's that my lv4 troops definitely can't handle, but lv6/5 troops probably should. Or your could farm the 2200's:rolleyes:

I really doubt you can keep your builders busy at the end of th8 upgrades playing 1-2 hours a day.

You are still thinking in terms of tier 1 troops farming bad bases for 200k. When you attack junliangs base you will not walk away with more than 1-2 elixir storage which barely pays for level 5/6 troops. Where is the profit?

You really think its fair that th7 with cheaper building should be making more money than th8/9?

You will definitely change your mind when you're near the end of th8

O.o wonder if i should take that as a compliment..
btw, i've shifted my elixir storage in, no more free elixir for grabs until i'm done with lv3 pekka. God 6mil elixir..
Certainly great to see attacks where attackers full force raid only manage to take 1 elixir storage and nothing else :P

Okay, i'm out of this thread.

Well, as you improve your defense you'll hit a place where all your storage can be protected from majority of the tier 1 attacks. Tier 2/3 attacks become non-profit at your trophy level since that's not what people are targeting. If hitting half of your storage will still give reasonable loots I'm sure people will attack you with pekka and the sorts. And your defense will need redesign at that point. Which makes things more interesting than watching tier 1 troop fail attacks all day long.

It's actually easier to keep 5 builders goin at the end of th8 on lower playtime, since the build times are longer as well, so you have 3-4 days to get that 1-2 mil or so to keep him going

Honestly, I am currently moving up to th9, only because I finished my walls, and thus my excess gold is not getting used anymore.

Loot cap works both ways

I'd be willing to bet that you would be just as angry about losing 600k if the cap was raised as you are for not finding 600k. Also, I don't know any games worth the prestige of being "great" that an hour of play a day nets the top tier experience.

600k is a bit extreme. I just can't agree with the non-improved loot compare to th7. I was thinking 250-300k. At least cover the upgraded high tier troop cost. agree with the 1 hour a day, at high trophy level it's either gem or 2 hours per battle. That's kind of ridiculous.

Not trying to troll you, but at the 1200 level i still can find 200k regularly. At 1800, I was lucky to see 80k, and that didn't mean I was going to get it. My TH is 8.
