Small improvement to the loot economy

As many of you know, in the new Matchmaking update it seems as though loot is easier to get. Although, it doesn't hurt when you can get more loot and although this is a small suggestion, it will add some loot back into the game and more loot is always welcome, even if it's a small amount.


The Problem
Sometimes, people will attack villages when they have a full, or close to being full, storage. When they take loot from the opponent, this is literally making the loot go to nowhere, taking loot out of the entire economy. It's even worse when a lot of loot is taken from the opponent with no need for it whatsoever.

The Solution
What I suggest is simple: If you have near-full storages or full storages, you will only be able to steal the loot that you can keep. For example, let's say your Elixir and Gold Storages could hold 6,001,000 resources, and you have 5,900,000 of each resource. Now, you come across a base that offers 250,000 of each resource. That would exceed the maximum capacity of your storages. So, with this new feature the base will still offer 250,000 to attackers, but you will only be able to steal 101,000, since that is your maximum capacity.

Basically, what I'm saying is, you can't steal more than you can hold.

What's great about this feature is that it will not hurt the attacker: Any extra loot they earn if they have full storages will disappear, ultimately making it worthless. With this feature, it won't affect them at all. It's also much better for the defender: The attacker will not be able to steal all the loot they are offering, even if the attacker 3 starred them. This will make upgrades just a little bit easier.

Conclusion
Thank you for reading this post. If you have any feedback, comments, or questions, feel free to post and I will answer them as quickly as possible. I would like constructive feedback, please. It's just a little idea I had randomly, anyways XD Thanks and I'll see you around the forums.

This isn't quite like most of the moronic ideas on this section. This requires thought, because although extra loot is welcome, we DEFINITELY don't want inflation. If loot is too easy to acquire, then upgrades would be too easy, thus making the game a breeze as a whole.

I dunno, I think a balance between loot conservation and waste is good. Perhaps making the extra loot go into nothingness is a benefit to the whole CoC community.

Thank you for the support, you have brought up a valid point. I'm glad I'm not moronic ;)

I'm 99% sure this won't cause too much loot inflation; because it isn't all that often that a player with full storages or close to full storages raids you. At least, I haven't been raided by one. I just brought up this idea because I don't like the fact that loot can go to nowhere and I thought this would make loot just slightly more easy to acquire. I am also 99% sure that this will not make upgrades go too much faster.

It just adds a little loot back into the game, thus making the game a little more fun.;)

Idea has merit, but how often do people have full stores and still attack? Is it often? Honest question. Any time I have been attacked and check the stores of my attacker for my possible revenge they normally not been full.

Major problem with the loot not being allowed to betaken is that a lot of people count on the numbers taken from loot in the achievement as an idea of how good a player you are. If I keep attacking even if I do not need it, would have to still count for that achievement counter

Thank you for the feedback. I have brought up your first point in both my original post and my response:

As for your second idea, that is also a valid point and I am sure many people will agree with you. However, in my opinion, I would rather have more loot in the game that is steal-able in the future that could help you get that achievement. Because, if there's more loot in the game (even a little) that still gives you an opportunity to increase that achievement counter.

Hope that helps XD

Haven't been here for half a year, and I'm seeing several kinds of repeats.

But it is useful. The only issue in adding it is loot balance in game, and really, Supercell is the only one informed enough (as well the one that does make the judgement call) to know if that is needed.

They maybe reluctant to add it, since it would change how things flow, plugging up a hole for loot to leave the system, and it would be all but irreversible. From that point on, they will have to calculate for less loot leaving the system, and much less loot disappearing before it is sunk into village/base improvements.

It's anyone's guess, since only SC really knows the most about loot balance, and they aren't telling others the details. :p They could add it, and improve the playerbase's approval a bit, and very likely increase how many raids people are willing to do (not by a large percent, but still measurable), since some players don't want to waste resources (like me) and often stop raiding once near max capacity to not overflow and cause resources to fall into the void.

Thank you. I agree this could cause a slight imbalance, but the great thing about this idea is that you could say it's...selective? Don't know the word. What I mean is the only time this would cause a great "disturbance" is when both the attacker has near-full or full storages, and the defender has a pretty large amount of loot.

I agree, this would increase amount of raids by a little bit. Every little bit counts, as well, and thanks for the support.

This is good for me, you and the other 2,000,000 people that play this game..

I agree with this, as a LOT of loot is lost from the economy

all the major critics of this sub forum actually agree on something.

Dang.
