How to fix the economy

Good idea or bad idea

So, I might have figure out a way to boost the economy and add new exciting changes to the game.

What if the defender loses a percentage of their entire resources (on top of everything else) to the attacker whenever the defender loses the defensive battle. And this will work vice verse as well, if the attacker loses a battle he/she will lose a certain percentage of his/her resources. This will...

1. Increase the available loot to the attacker boosting the economy
2. Adds incentive to players to protect their town hall
3. Adds meaning to winning defensive battles
4. Earn loot while defending
5. No more low th snipers that gives farmers with full storages a 12 hour shield which prevents anyone from stealing their loot until the next time they log on.

And there are tons of other benefits a well that I'm too lazy to write. So, what do ya say? Lets pitch this idea to supercell!

It won't boost the economy since the amount one player earns is the same as one player loses. Moreover you weren't specific about where the loot comes from, since dead bases are a thing. Also, losing a battle (on offense) means you're farming or you lost plenty of loot anyway. Makes trophy pushing hard when you get a penalty for losing an attack.

Also, gets rid of the concept of farming completely. There's nothing wrong with farming and don't see why you're in such a hurry to get rid of it. Zapping posts will go crazy since people won't have shields to stop it for 12 hours anymore. Plus, dropping trophies to farm will no longer be possible since the player would lose a ton of loot just to drop. Clans that have farm-push cycles would be demolished.

Winning on defense already has plenty of value, you protect your loot and/or your trophies, whichever one matters more. The only reason it's often devalued is because it's difficult to do if you intend to push anywhere.

Earning loot by defending? There's no reason or sense to it. In real life would a failed raid on a person equal lost resources (besides troop costs which are already lost)? Last I checked you don't bring storages with you when attacking someone.

And I don't see the issue with farmers, who happen to make up a majority of the players. This would make a lot of people angry, maybe even quit.

Farming is a perfectly good way of playing and should remain a viable way of playing.

To make it not worth leaving your th undefended for farmers it would have to be pretty big. Cause in 2 raids most can make 400k gold and elixir maybe some DE.
