Increase Gold Mine and Elixir Collectors Production Rate

I will admit that I am one of the people who left his Town Hall outside the walls hoping for free shields. The main reason is that I am not afforded the time to attack very often. I participate in my clan wars each week but outside of collecting gold and elixir in the morning and before bed...I didn't attack often. Things were fine through TH 8...but once I hit TH 9 things got SOOOO expensive and required SOOOO much more time during the upgrade that it became hard to upgrade and slow...but I was advancing. The progression in cost and time is logical, so absolutely no complaints there. But since the upgrade the attacks have been aggressive...and I am consistently loosing large chunks of loot. Again, I am cool with this...if someone wants to attack me all in and they kick my bases backside they deserve lots of loot. Here is the problem for me though...

My storages are going backwards, seriously backwards. With the current production rates there is no way I will be able to obtain any sort of upgrades in the future. I understand the point of the TH 11 update, I also understand that from a business model I am not where Supercell makes their money (I have bought a few sacks of gems in the last year for myself and my son to help a big upgrade). But the thing is...if I cannot advance in the game without investing more time then I have available, there will be nothing to work for...the solution will have to be to stop playing the game.

The point of this long ramble is this...the ability to collect more loot if you attack regularly is great...I am all for it...but if you do not have the ability to attack often, the collectors and mines should have the ability to produce sufficient output to continue advancing. There is an algorithm that I am sure you can come up with for this...but in the meantime I can't keep up in this environment, and that makes the game much less fun.

First, you'll have to move your th inside if you haven't yet done that. I'll agree that players like you stand to lose a lot from this update, but you can still have fun in the game and advance. I'm sure new farming setups will be made to counteract with supercell's forcing us to move our th inside our walls. Until then, you should just collect and deal with whatever raiders attack you, and once you get with one mil gold/elixir or a few thousand dark elixir from your target upgrade, try to plan a period where you play for a hour or something. There is a daily two hour guard that you can buy for two hours a day for just 10 gems, more than enough time to get a few raids in and hopefully get you enough for the upgrade you want.

Thank you for the reply. My TH is inside...picked that one up really quick. The point of this was that I don't have an hour or two to dedicate to attacking. Since the update the attacks against me have changed. Instead of hitting my TH and then leaving most are trying to destroy me. Just really quick views of attacks they have been TH 9 and 10 using quakes to blow up my walls and rage to clean me out. Most seam to be getting 50% to 70% and I have been loosing 300,000 to 400,000+ gold and elixir each attack. I can only create 252,000 during a 12 hour time frame. What has also killed me is when I have gotten killed in multiple attacks where they sting me for 100K to 200K and I don't get a shield. I have gone backwards on Gold, Elixir and Dark Elixir since the update. I have also gone up nearly 40 trophies since the update...all without making any attacks.

So new dynamics of the game are great...just as the game sits right now...I probably won't keep playing if I can't keep moving forward. I would think increased production or maybe open the 7th mine and collector up to TH9 would be cool.

SC wants you attack, and upping the collector rates would only encourage passive farming. So, I don't see this happening.

Sadly for me you are probably right...
