Love to see someone here hit an on level max TH9 or 10 and get 70% with anything but a war army. Shattered attacks at th9 will spend 1350 DE just on the two golems(at lvl4), and TH10s even more. Assuming that there is no adjustment to troop cost this is just ridiculous..
This update IS NOT ABOUT the player, its about new revenue streams for softbank.. New shield system will reduce nexting and therefore reduce server load(cutting cost to softbank at our expense). The new loot system is engineered to stop tier one troop farming as well as TH sniping..period. No players asked for this and it is clearly designed to increase gem spending, again at the cost of the players and to the benefit of SoftBank. This is why NONE OF THIS WAS ANNOUNCED AT CLASH-CON! ..had any of this been for the player SC or SoftBank would have gladly touted it at clash con. This is all very simple, as stated before, this is a simple cash grab, nothing more, nothing less.
If you read the dishonesty in the sneak peek announcement(Example: Significant Loot Bonus increase=2-12%, I think SC/SoftBank's message to all of us becomes clear. They do not value or even respect us as customers.
