No win without a star

Just a thought..... Always wondered why loot was given without achieving at least 1 star. 2 the victor go the spoils. Loot bonus in most leagues is a joke... I never raid 4 the bonus. If a star wasn't achieved why should u be allowed 2 keep the loot? Can't keep troops so why would should we loot b different. Would give incentive to a strong defense. Would help 2 at least reset traps..... just a thought. ✌

Not getting loot unless you get a star would mean that there is less of an incentive to attack players better than you.

I'll elaborate on this. That would be a terrible system for farmers. Usually farmers go into a battle with weak troops to only get the resources. Implementing a system like this would mean that farmers would struggle to find loot. Not only would that lead to a metric ton of complaints here in general, it would also kill the game for a large portion of the casual farmers. So, overall, this is a terrible idea.

It isnt just farmers. Lots of bases have fairly high, if not maxed out, defenses. I may be able to break a base for the DE - but unless i use heavy troops I may struggle to get the stars too. Lower TH - like TH 7 - it is easy to use a cheap army and get 1 star (if not 3) plus the loot. If I get most of the loot but fail to star with my TH 10 i could constantly lose DE and elixir. Not good at all.

Agree on this. I can get DE storage + some storages with GBArch easily with jump for giants to get in but most of the time I care less about winning because I have no use for the trophies

This would force farmers to trophy push, which is something we don't like.

I think to make it work you would have to increase significantly all the leagues' loot bonus. Also it may kill off new players from getting into this game

👍 thanx

Often times a good idea sounds good until its brought out in the open. All very valid points! Appreciate the thoughts... Clash on!

I dont think that the OP was suggesting that you couldn't drop trophies. You could do that on a base by dropping a barb or hero and then ending straight away.

It would pretty well completely destroy the game, with the way it is designed to work.

This game relies on people being able to progress, and in them raiding loot to do so.

If you didn't get the loot unless you got at least one star, then people would have to brew war type armies all the time, in order to be sure of getting at least one star, so they would be carrying out far fewer raids, and also making less profit (since war armies cost more than typical raiding armies).
