Yeah I feel the whole 40 next thing. Economy is getting bad here lately
... I don't know how many times I hit [Next]. I've stopped counting. Likely a lot. As long as the 'Next-ing' is only a small cost for finding those good bases, I'll keep on casually tapping and grinding. Casually grinding all that loot, semi-boredly, watching TV, chatting, and letting my lap cat sleep on me warmly.Quote:

I actually depend on my max ones a lot because good loot days have become so scarce.Quote:

380 adds up quick. It's very hard finding good bases here lately and I'm slowly feeling my Barch is dying.Quote:

This thread is doing better at bring attention to the real issue of the resource buildings than my thread on the topic (http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...8Need-Ideas%29) :(
Thing is, there really isn't many changeable variables that can be done to the resource buildings. The things that keep me from seriously considering upgrading them is the opportunity cost of days spent on all of them for the resource gain they offed. Check out the wiki (http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Mine); at level 8 or 9 is where I think the cut off threshold is at for personal usefulness. Any more upgrading is a waste of time verse the same amount of upgrading time for other things that will net you more loot and loot protection.
Easy way to make them worth upgrading - reduce upgrade time.
The only reason I haven't maxed them out is because I'm not spending 5 days to upgrade from lvl 11 to lvl 12. I have more important things to upgrade first (like defences).
But that will never happen, as that's how SC makes their money.
If it isn't worth upgrading, why is it worth paying gems to speed up upgrading? They aren't making money from these buildings, or at least not very much, say verse getting that Air Defense up, or neat things like X-Bows or Inferno Towers. Or Town Halls for those rushers :rolleyes:Quote:

Personally I think the problem is rooted at the fact that supercell keeps removing inactives out of the game, just as I was finishing my TH8 about 1 and half years ago I noticed a distinct drop in inactive bases, the economy of the game has been tinkered with too much and only seems to correct itself when the one gem boosts come out on holliday seasons, so I gues we all have to wait till easter, oh well not too long to go.
I am also currently farming in Crystal 2 and i have not really come accross an inactive yet.
