Once I hit TH10 I know the choices start to diminish as I do those final upgrades, and that sounds boring...
Maybe you missed it: They added new levels to the collectors in the last update. Those levels are only available at TH8+, so you're going to see that loot starting to increase as people get those collectors upgraded. I wouldn't be surprised to see another level added for TH9 or TH10 in the near future either.
The attitude is kind of amazing, I wonder if people had these same short-sighted thoughts when talk of TH10 first started happening. "ZOMG NO, NO LOOT, NOT MAXED OUT YET, LET ME ENJOY MY PEACEFUL SERENITY AS A MAX TH9". Really??
