Why is it that so many people want to be able to loot someone else's base but they some how think that their own base shouldn't be at risk?
If looting is going to be part of the game, you have to face up to the tradeoff.
The only alternative is to just do away with looting altogether. Just give rewards for smashing stuff.
Most people don't mind their bases being looted it's just for some players they can go a couple of days without being able to clash properly and get attacks in so coming back on to find your base flattened multiple times and all your previous progress lost is not enjoyable which surely the main aim of the game should be enjoyment
Because if the result of your raiding nets to 0 then your progress suddenly stops. The system just can't survive without tons of free loot being injected in.
I don't think that answers the question. People are perfectly fine with take loot from other players but object when someone does it to them.Quote:

I am totally fine with people smashing my base. I am not fine with searching for 10 minutes for a base to break even. I would gladly offer up more of my loot if it means that I can take more of others loot. The problem is not how much loot we lose when we get smashed, its how little loot we gain from raiding. I broke my routine of farming every day when the loot was not possible for make a profit when raiding. I'm not one to hide, I ran my war base sometimes just so I wouldn't drop trophies from people sniping me every 15 minutes. As long as loot gained is greater than loot lost, and the loot gained is gained in a cost effective way then I am happy. I can't say how the loot is now since I haven't farmed since a day after the update, I just don't like it when people do not understand what we are actually upset about.
I'll admit another thing. I haven't used the word "visceral" in a long time. LOLQuote:

I have almost started to enjoy watching my th9 flattened to the ground 5 mins after I log out in champs2. Well.... Enjoy isn't the right word.
Because 10 people can fail to get 30% on your base before someone finally comes along and gives you a 12 hour shield. This system punishes you for having a good defense instead of rewarding it. If there was some reward for a successful defense I'm sure people wouldn't mind this new system as much.
Or, you could take a lesson from the people who protect their loot well enough that you have to do more than 30% damage to get decent loot.Quote:
