The update last year that eliminated inactives from queue and all updates preceeding

Were and still are merely failed attempts at compensating for the real problem facing the game's economy which is very few inactives. It makes for an artificial gaming experience knowing that the game's search algorithm discrimnates between how long a player has been inactive before.
And there is no other reasoning behind it other than to eliminate easy farming and encourage gem spending.

A year ago i said this would happen. The amount of threads about loot is disproportionate compared to a year ago. I predicted that. Now im predicting the slow death of this game within the next couple years, only because it turned from a small company to a large one. Ironically they would actually make more money in the long term if they were to stop making it harder for their players to play.

Introduce higher level collectors, larger storage cap, less th penalty, league bonuses, wars, quests, etc. it wont do anything. They wont listen to reason though, they would rather drive their game to an early grave by squeezing out a few dollars than have a successful game.

Slowly slowly, this update introduces a number of small tweaks that improve the economy in a number of little ways. Inactive bases just encourages barching, and as so many players are now barching for that reason all the good targets are gone. The update will hopefully improve storage raids by improving the elixir supplies for bigger troop armies, and that should give better balance across the range of targets available. Give it a chance, it might, might, just work.

Well said.

OP

I dont think that this game was ever intended to revolve around easy farming. In theory by maxing out drills mines and collectors more can be gained from inactive bases of the future. Certainly the DE drill is interesting if i am correct in understanding that it can hold more.

The complaints about loot have varied over time- different people complaining about different issues to do with loot.

I think its high time to start the Easy Farming Revolution. Even though i Barch heavily, with these updates, my resolve has changed to hit deep store raids only

Funny how I have people on my friends list with bases that have been inactive for well over a year...whose bases are still being attacked on a daily basis.

Certainly not eliminated from the queue.

Stop crying and earn your loot. If you want easy gold/elixir, go play a easy game. You would love farmville or hayday.
Ive been raiding storages all day long and I have enough to keep 5 builders busy, at th9, always.

LOL. They didn't remove inactive. All inactive village in my facebook friendlist are always gets attacked. It just more people plays coc everyday and more people become an active farmer. Let's play a bit of probability, what do you think gets the most inactive, 10 people shares 5 inactive or 100 people shares 10 inactive.

I don't know how I still get a handfull of inactive if your complains is right.

Definitely, it's not like we can fix it. Why fight a lost battle? It also depends on luck I'm afraid, so in your case, you have bad luck.

Go play Boom Beach, really simple game. Pretty straight forward. I haven't played Hayday, but this all reminds of CoC but in different level variants.

CoC - Hard
BB - Medium
HD - Easy

Wow you sound so sure of it too! You must work for supercell, to have such deep knowledge of the game's workings!

Since the game has had far more increase of inactives than active players over the last year, probably a 50:1 ratio, the chances of what you are proposing are slim to none

I like finding inactive bases as much as anyone else but I don't understand the complaints about the queue.

First of all - it isn't true. If it were then we wouldn't find any inactive bases. I found several when I was raiding earlier tonight. Some nights I only find one or two, sometimes I find more. But I do find them. If I'm finding them then so are a lot of other people. They're out there, therefore they haven't been removed from the queue.

Second of all - this game is about attacking other players. Most of the time you should expect those players to be active and prepared for defense. If you can only make a profitable raid when attacking inactive's then use a cheaper army or learn to get to their storages.

Less inactives due to:
1. Inactives are removed.
Action: stop playing if you don't like it. So many other awesome games out there

2. More people barching, less inactives available
Action: raid more. Or as a result of people assuming #1, more inactives are up for grabs now.

Equilibrium will be hit. Its a pretty simple decision tree.

I am convinced the people complaining about loot only attack 1-3 times per day.
And before lived in getting 3-400k each with those attacks.

I attack 10-30 times a day and avg 100k each per attack.

That's the best way to farm, imo.

It's not my fault you don't have time to farm har har

With it being so high in demand they probably just get wiped off the queue as soon as they come on

So what you expect ? I also attack 200-300x per season. So what ? I need to play all day and look on small screen for 100 000 loot?!

I also hard back expended elixir. I only dont have problem with gold. So we need to play all day like you and be online all day to protected hard earned resources ?

If I see my defence logs:
Player online, player online, player online, player online....

Yes this is very funny. We just enjoy to all day sit and wait to army will maked.

Without barching this game is dead.
Also people go to job, school and cant afford to all day sit for funny loot.
Btw I agree with OP 100%.

Nope! I'm just an optimist who enjoys the game.

Well you sound pretty sure too, I bet if you are working on SC the game would be dead months ago.

I don't mind active 400k bases. The problem now is most inactives are shielded or out of queue. So what happens is you are left with more active bases. The problem now is there is not enough 400k or so active bases to make it worth using a giant army or a bit bigger to barch in...

and this is associated with more nexting which can really be boring after awhile. I mean don't give me a 400k base immediately i wont mind nexting for it. But the problem is the nexting drags super long and all i am seeing is below 100k in storages... That is the problem now.

hopefully the elixir wall update addresses this as many low leveled players are dumping into lvl6-8 wall before going off creating no loot available for actives. However i wish elixir walls we're lvl10+ And starting because if you ask me level 9 are still easy to do. Level 10 is where the challenge n patience kicks in and this elixir update would only benefit these... As its a long stretch and time to complete all of them.

summary i don't rely on inactives but if i see one I'll be grateful. Problem short; not enough actives worth going deep in for loot. Assuming barch gets 2-4 storages out of 8 including heroes on a well good base.

my short profile: farmed near 1.5 billion gold. Have 87/250 lv11 walls now and maxed out everything else but walls...

I would say more naive than optimistic.

I see your crawled away under your rock again to perform your monthly rage thread.

I'll just re-post what I said in your previous thread. Replace months to update:

The problem with your posts is not the subject per se. You're free to discuss any part of this game that you don't like after all. It's just that of your 19 threads 14 had the subject of loot and the lack thereof, and specifically the tone and attitude you use. You're the FOX news of this forum. It's loud, it's polemic and full of chewed-out rhetoric.

More on-topic: you belong to the large group that thinks more inactives is the key to the issues in this game. I suggest you read through this thread to find some sensible and well written thoughts/solutions/discussion on the matter that do not involve something random as 'more inactives'. You've become blinded by your frustration, which is a shame. Because it's obvious you care enough about this game to make such an effort to complain. I suggest you take a deep breath and take a broader view of the situation.

And if that fails, consider what it's worth to you playing a game that has you foaming at the mouth of rage?
