I'm rarely paired with other TH9's. Only difference is your loot from TH7 and below is slightly nerfed. People over-exaggerate about it .

Which is exactly why instead of discouraging players from getting a level 9 TH, you should be encouraging it.
Dear Billwinkiesbear,
I know that you probably feel strongly towards one option, just make the poll options unbiased next time so you don't possibly sway someone's opinion towards a certain option, that way your results are 100% accurate.

You are a very lucky guy. I play a second account that's currently at TH8 and there are good and bad days for looting. Sometimes I get some decent opponents with minimal searching, others I spend 30k+ just ignoring those 1k- loots. But on average, one TH level difference makes a huge difference in looting.
My answer is simple: NOT worthy! Enjoy the game while it is still enjoyable and quit when it becomes frustrating. But it is possible to get to the top and not spending any money. All you need is a iPad dedicated to playing the game and a looooooot of free time.
This is great to see, a thread started over a week ago still has life.. I apologise to those who were annoyed with the Poll options...
Here is my opinion a week later...
I have just Pekka, Dragons and healer upgrades left on Troops (to lvl3)... In terms of Attacking i can only see that the TH9 would give me:
Extra 20 Troops (army Camp Upgrades)
Extra Spell to take into battle...
In Terms of Defence - Xbow, Cannon Tesla and Air Def...
This week i rose from 1100 to 2100 (just to see what the battles are like)... And there are more TH9 bases than 8...
As im not going to spend significantly on gems and because i enjoy attacking i see no incentive in staying as high in trophies as i am now....
Waiting 4 hours for an army capable of getting a garunteed 50% against someone with Xbow and high level defences is not my idea of fun... Therefore i will be heading back down to around 1500-1800.....
So Yes i truly believe that TH9 (due to the defensive capabilities is killing the game....that coupled with the high spending gemmers... and the farmers....)
STILL LOVE THE GAME AND WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY.. But will not go for Trophies as it is pointless.
TH9 is worth it, but you really need to max TH8 first so you are capable of defending yourself against the better players in the 1400-1700 range.
I'm almost maxed at TH9, with three archer L11 towers en air defence lvl7 left, and don't have any problems finding enough loot.
It is alot better on TH8 for sure, and on TH8 I could do twice a raid with a full set of army camps as opposed to one raid for TH9 but that's logical since we attack more difficult bases now.
p.s. I only bought builders huts, the rest is gathered by stealing the gold and elix.
