Raid Loot - Gaining vs Losing

So far, the best way I have found to gain loot on raiding is to snipe off collectors outside the walls. I usually get 10k-100k loot from a couple thousand worth of elixir troops. Not a lot, but it can pile up over time.

Then when I get raided (Not from the 90%+ trophy dumps) I lose maybe 300k in loot. Then I look at the troops/spells they spent to raid me... they spent 280k in troops to loot 300k. So I end up losing 300k and they end up really gaining 20k. The only one that wins on that is SuperCell.

I still don't have a great way to raid yet, but I think my way is better than theirs. I can raid pretty much back-to-back for 4 hours if I have that much time. They can only put together a raid every 30-60 minutes because of the troop making time.

I heard SuperCell made all these changes because they found that 80% of raids were town hall snipes. I wonder if they keep track of how many raids are trophy dumps.

I wonder is supercell knows that th out in gold down never really worked.

I just looked at my last 24hours in clash ive been raided 3 times and ive done 6 raids all 6 raids i would have got 100 %loot bonus or very close to it. With the loot lost and gained this is my profit gold 2418276, elixir is 1143774 (also troop and spell cost taken out) and 4549 of dark elixir without loot bonus may have taken a loss in de. Im in masters 1 and a th9. Im pretty sure no one 100% likes the update but it not impossible to succeed.

There isn't a way to save up for the upgrades anymore. I get bled dry by little snipes that drain resources but don't give shield. Game has become a grind. I said I would give the update a month but it already feels like several months and December isn't even over yet. Just not worth it anymore.

Similar results as a TH8 close to maxing. If there were a few more unicorns in the search queue I think people would start to accept the update. It is not as easy or fast as it was pre-update and I will not go to Th9 until I am totally maxed because the economy is so bad right now for elixir. Best of luck and Merry Christmas to all.
