Loot bonus for defender
Not sure if this has been proposed before, but why not make the loot bonus pay out in full for every attack, just split between the attacker and defender? Keep the new loot bonus rules for the attacker exactly as they are, but whatever the attacker doesn't get goes to the defender. So for a 70% attack the attacker gets everything. A defense means the defender gets the full bonus. In between those two extremes the loot bonus gets split, figure out what the attacker should get under the new rules, and then give the rest to the defender.
That would certainly add a huge incentive to actually try to get defenses, vs. setting up a 50% farming base where it is fairly easy for someone to barch for 50%.
I think this could work much better now with the new loot bonus rules, where it might not have worked as well with the old all or nothing loot bonus setup.
