I can agree with the loot bonus of a higher TH hitting down on a lower and not being allowed the same amount of resources gained from a lower TH attack. That part, I get!

However, where I have an issue is the lower TH's hitting your DE storages with a lightning attack and gaining what at times becomes a large amount of resources in DE gained! I've tried to save DE and on more than one occasion lost more in three lighting attacks than I've gained in the past 24 hours. I would like to see the amount of loot decreased on DE storages when hit with lightning attacks.

Ok, I've said my piece and I know all the kids, haters, and otherwise trolling individuals will have something to say about my post, so I get it. Hate on as I know you will and do. The world needs all types including your type. And before you start bashing me as well saying "OMG, Supercell does it on purpose because they want you to purchase Gems... I know this people. I just wish I would have gotten in on the ground floor and been part of an organization that makes $700K on a daily basis, wouldn't you? So, yes I am part of the individuals who purchase gems on occasion, but I know my spending limits and have fun with the game.

As a side note, give the freeze spell to a TH9 as well. It's not quite fair for a TH10 to hit down and use freeze spells on my defensive structures, and I have not recourse to combat inferno towers with anything other than a freeze spell. I can't even revenge properly!

So, I've said my piece Supercell Developers. Great game that I love to play with my son, but some of the resources are quite ridiculous.

Clash on all......

Sincerely,

BadMojo

People will complain because some people are such bad raiders that the only way they will gain DE is through lightning someone's DE. If you take that away they have nothing. It is an incredibly ineffective strategy, those spells could be used to destroy someones base where you can get all the DE, gold and elixir; not just half of someones DE. I would love to see something done to the resource storage and lightning, seems odd someone is able to get to it no matter what you do to protect it.

It definitely doesn't pay to keep your town hall in or to be in anything lower than crystal league if you are town hall 8 or above. The gold and elixir may be better in gold and silver leagues, but keeping your DE is much harder.

It's a shark tank but I am in silver taking the zaps.. I think I have received and dumped more trophies than I actually have today.. Taking a little break then off to give newbies what's left of my de...

My stores are full...have my TH outside...surprisingly I've been riding a shield for 2 1/2 days because the last several attacks have been TH snipes.

There is no reason for me to boost anything or raid right now, so I'm happy riding my shields. If however, my shield does time out and you find me, feel free to zap me, it does not irk me as it does other people. I won't even think twice about it.

its weird how these boosting sales have such a negative effect on people, sc is trying to be nice and all that everyone cares about is how they get zapped once.

While that is basically my attitude, I do get raided more than you seem to (I am still a new TH9 in crystal 2 so about half the people that attack my exposed TH also decide to get smart and attack my base though they never get it all). I look at being zapped in addition to TH sniped as a low cost shield. While I would prefer they just took my TH and left, I much prefer being zapped to being seriously raided and I will never revenge them (mainly because I never revenge anyone and don't even both to look at my revenge list).

Well, you have to consider the overall effect of boosts. Barrack boosts make for too much competition and thus not enough good raids to find. Spell boosts allow for more zapping (which is not as big a problem as barrack boosting but still bothers some people). Hero boosting is pretty much entirely positive for most players and all the resource boosts are just positive all around. Thus, the more often they give 1 gem boosts for resources and heroes and the less they boost spells and especially barracks, the fewer complaints we will have.

It should be pointed out that I view all this as an outside observer. I don't ever boost anything (personal choice) no matter what the price of the boost so all I do is see the overall effect it has.
