Can a th 8 farm in crystal?

So I'm a th 8, halfway through on tower upgrades and done with most elixir troops, and just got to crystal 3. I thought loot should be fine, but it's horrible - no collector raids AND no storage raids... Unless I want to raid th 10 storages.

I'm really liking the league bonus, but most bases are offering hardly any loot at all. So to those other th 8s in crystal, is it possible to farm here? Should I stay, push to crystal 1 perhaps, or drop to gold 1/2 for farming? Previously I was doing somewhat ok on gold 1.

Oh, and I am not really so active so I raid once in a while, except for rare occasions when loot is fantastic, then I will boost a barracks and farm for 2 hours. I'm considering farming with loonion, but I rarely ever see good storage raids that aren't th 10 or maxed th 9.

What i do is go to crystal, but drop and farm in 1900-2000 range so I get gold 1 loot but crystal 3 loot bonus. Works for me but to each their o
Coming from a th9.

Yes you can. The league bonus has already encouraged many TH7s and TH8s to push up. You will do fine in Crystal.

Just keep searching. When i was there loot was pretty good.
