OP you appear to be saying it was better/easier/more fair in the old days....
Back when I was a fresh TH8 I got steamrolled constantly by maxed TH8's and by th9's with level 6 giants. That slowed down when I was near maxed.
WhenI was a fresh TH9 I got seriously steamrolled by TH 10's and that slowed down when I was near maxed.
As a new TH10 I got steamrolled by other TH10's that were much further advanced than I was. Now I am near maxed at TH10 and I rarely lose resources.
See the pattern? We all lived thru it and survived without begging for SC to change the game to protect us. It's the fundamental nature of the game and won't stop no matter what changes they make to the mechanics.
TLDR.... Steal more than you lose! Perhaps you should be asking for raiding pointers..... Be the shark and not the bait!
