What you don't get is if it wasn't for people that spend money you wouldn't be getting updates at all anymore. This game evolves because of people who spend money whether anyone likes it or not

Let's get back on topic btw... :)
I'm not a gemmer and I'm a TH11... Why ? Simply because I made a lot of gems from achievements and cleaning up, which I barely used, and I decided it was the right time to use them now as I was maxed so it allows me to do something again with my loot ;-)
Regarding OP's question, I'm personally farming in Titan. I can easily make 350k each per raid + 280k league bonus (70% bonus, but I'm getting it most of the time). I don't care about my shield, I'll attack when I have one, which means I can raid about 4 times if I take my shield + VG + PB into account, and then I take a def and start over. Last defs I lost less than half of my storages, so around 200k each, so if you make a quick calculation : 4x 350K + 4x 380 bonus - 200k def = 2.320m
OK, that might not be what people used to farm using barch and taking TH out, but still enough to cover my needs, and this way of playing remove a lot of the stress I had compared to prior to the update (where I had to keep watching at my screen during 6h trying to avoid disconnections). So globally I'm pretty happy.
Yes of course. I'm using 6 golems. I don't care about DE as far as I have already both heroes lvl 40, and there is nothing new in the update to consume my DE. And still, my DE storage remains full as most of the bases I attack have a lot of DE.
Indeed, it takes time to cook, but as I'm under a shield, I don't need to have a look at my army being cooked, I can do something else. Look at my calculation, I'm still making around 4m/day using this method, which is more than enough to keep all my builders active, why would I need more ?
The game has changed, with advantages and disadvantages. I think it's time to stop complaining and adapt in order to make the best out of the good stuff in this update.
I was thinking more along the lines of people saying they respect gemmers cos they pay so the rest of us can enjoy the game for free... why jump to conclusions and be so defensive so quickly? Feeling not quite right about gemming? It's ok it's your money we get it!
I am having clan war with another clans.12 hours ago, their 2th player was TH11 with everything maxed out and new hero lvl20. New hero is badass.
