That's fine, wish you good luck to upgrade your walls. Was nothing about you personally, it is just strange that silver league has suddenly turned into master league cause of the many powerfull players ;)

I'm a TH8 and currently at around 2550 trophies, I get TH sniped almost always and can easily save up resources even while logging off after each attack.

Yeah, that is a point and I will give crystal a try. But honestly I'm not that kind of player who waits 1-2 hours until troops and spells are ready for just one loot. I just play clan wars like this.

now as a high-but-not-maxed th10 i am quite happy to sit in silver creaming all the loot, but i'm also sensible enough to realize that model is now flawed and the *Primary* purpose of the game will suffer if anyone from new entrants all the way up to probably max th9 feels there is no point to their participation.

the primary purpose of course NOT being raiding, but being the desire to develop ones base to a position of power.

a tweak is inevitable.

Thanks, that's the point :)

So I have to do it in two or three sessions. But, the second I close my iPad, this happens.

I think I'm looting about 1m each per 2h boosted session which is poor compared to what I was getting at TH8. Then I shut down and lost almost half of that. I'm on the fence about quitting now because it's just too time consuming. As a casual player, with a couple of hours spare here and there to play it's too much hard work.

Hope something changes. Perhaps I've just been unlucky with the bases I've come across when looting. Perhaps not.

Did you try to go up to crystal II. or III.? Got the same here in Gold II. and hoped that things might get better with more trophies

Cause lost a customer means lost money. Maintaining a dead account is costly. If this updates could push causal players away from the game because they can't play the game the way they like . It can expect to see more dead accounts will been created. Is this situation sounds like benefiting the whole game community including SC itself? I doubt it.

Casuals can still play this game if it's for clan wars. Collectors is enough to supply your war army BUT don't expect to save that much for expensive upgrades. A lot of casuals are expecting too much in terms of upgrading their village because they are used in being sniped by way lower TH. I'm a casual player right now but I have enough resources to create my war army. And besides almost all players uses the gems that comes from the bushes. Where's the money in that? If they loose the players that actually gems then that will be the REAL lost of money.

Yes you should try. The chance if being sniped is pretty high up there. Those predators that hunts in silver doesn't care about trophies. They are actually dropping trophies! That's why the 39% phenomenon is rampant down there.

Everybody is going to raid you repeatedly with 3 gold storages sitting in the open. You would have been smashed, before the update.

Who will smash a base for 2500 gold? :) I also sometimes put storages outside if they are empty

How can we get free gem?
