Loot solutions

Reverse every and anything they did to change the game up to and including the hero and hog nerf, that's when the game started going downhill.

On to my idea. It may not be the best, but it's something to get the ball rolling.

Supercell has stated that they have statistics showing the usage and effectiveness of different troop compositions (I'd give a link, but I don't remember where I read that). They should look at these statistics, and find the average cost of an army required to 100% a base in each trophy league. Those costs should become the new league bonuses. They would be significantly higher than they are currently.

Then the league bonuses should not be awarded based on winning the battle, but on the percentage of the base destroyed. In theory, that should make up for the cost of an average army required to 100% a base. And sniping a Town Hall would only award a very small percentage of the league bonus. The loot penalty should then be applied to the league bonus to prevent Town Hall 9s and 10s from sitting in Gold 1 and barching Town Hall 7s for 100%.

Then there's the idea of removing the shield from destroying the Town Hall. I think this might actually be a pretty good idea in this system. It would bring a lot of high loot bases back into the search queue. We farmers will have our bases attacked a lot more often, meaning we will lose more loot but it will be much easier to get it back.

This system would encourage more players to raid other active players (which currently is unsustainable). This system would be sustainable.

It would also require us to do a lot less nexting, which isn't fun at all, and a huge waste of gold. A lot of people here support the idea of making the nexting cost go to a pool for each base when it gets skipped, which can be won by the attacker for attacking that base. I disagree with that because I think it would be exploitable. Very strong bases could drop way down in trophies, have their base nexted 1000s of times, and attack other players who do the same, and win a huge sum of gold. So I think that one's a no-no. :p

Barching/BAMing would still be the most efficient means to farm, but then big armies would also become profitable. Who wouldn't rather farm with a stronger army instead of Barching/BAMing their brains out all the time? I think most people would agree that it would be much more fun.

Oh, and trap rearming costs should be awarded for successful defenses. No reason to punish us for defending our bases :p

I'm sure that's more than 100 words, but I feel it's better to explain things as clearly as possible. There were people with some pretty good ideas in the old loot thread. Hopefully they find this and post them here.

My idea is that you only win a percentage of that money. Kind of like trophies, this percentage would be based off of both the attacker's and the defender's TH level. That way, if a TH10 destroys a TH7, they'd get a much smaller percentage of the pool money than say...attacking another TH10 or a TH9.

Introduce a collector Achievement for getting all collectors to strategic lvls with a reward of gems. This is not my idea someone else came up with it last year can't find it now unfortunately. I am a manic player and partly inactive player due to RL i may not log on for 2 days to six weeks at a time.

I realized long ago that to upgrade my collectors was a magnet to getting raided this does appear to be the case with my second account at TH6 for the purpose of the example consider both accounts are TH9 in crystal 3 with Townhall outside one with max collectors and one with the minimum lvls.

If I am saving to upgrade Archer tower to lvl 11 for example so have 3.5 mil gold and am working on heroes and have 40k de and have to go away for 2 days with no internet. My collectors will fill on my primary account i might get barched for the loot in those on my 2nd or 3rd shield after the first TH snipe and then onwards for 4 attacks! On at least one of those attacks someone strong enough is going to be clever enough to raid the storages.

total input in to the economy of 2mil of gold and elix from collectors 250k from storages win bonus 150k of each from the win

On the 2nd account I have really low lvl collectors and in the same scenario most people are just going to snipe and quit because there is no loot in collectors and the loot in storages is too hard to get to and little or no elixir because i dump that in walls.

Total input put into the economy 150k from win bonuses

my TH 6 account I have avoided upgrading collectors for this reason. I only steal loot and generate almost none myself. If there is an incentive to upgrade all collectors of each type we will see many more bases generating resources and becoming worth raiding. Those gems are a good incentive to do the achievement and collectors and mines can be maxxed relatively early in the game with the exception of the de drill.

This will put more loot into the food chain with very little effort on SC's part

People complain about a lack of abandoned bases everyday I see hundreds they just have nothing worth taking as a th9 as a th6 the same base is very lucrative due to the loot weighting system.

Pain and simple. We need more inactives. Storage raiding isnt viable because most bases with a lot of storage loot have strong defenses that would take an expensive army to penetrate. Im not saying they should make every base have 200k each in collectors. We need those small collector raids too with 120k each. Usually loot is fine, but there are some days that you search for 15 minutes without finding anything worth raiding (yes, 15 minutes is a lot) those days are the ones that need to be fixed. Idk about u guys, but for me loot is always awful in the morning, maybe put in more inactives in certain hours.

Upgrade your mines, drills and collectors.to max.

* more goblin/single player levels
* larger clan war bonus (nearly almost break even now, but 2x elixir would make the gold/lix profit for a win equal)
* double number of inactives in queue (if you're willing to next 25-50 times, you should actually get one)
* double current league win bonuses across board (just lix, if not gold, to better cover army costs)
