    I've been an active farmer for the past like 3 weeks doing walls like crazy in various ranges, I have to say I felt really off this morning and thought I was on a bad streak but there are no more collector raids , Its hard to say for sure because of the statistical nature of searching for an opponent. With that other thread saying that the recent maint. removed inactive bases from search queue, I think SC might have just nerfed farming hugely.

    You're doing a great job of that yourself. Do carry on.

    Been harder than usual for me too last week or so..still finding the occasional jackpot though (800k abandoned base two days ago).

    Have managed to start 2 xbow builds in last two days and keep 5 builders busy, so can't be doing too bad in scheme of things.

    TH9 in 1700-1800 range.

    I've found the occasional abandoned base, but all in all its not enough to cover the rest of the searches for me.

    Just kinda frustrating i guess. Its monotonous enough when the loot is decent.

    100k on searches at any th lvl just doesnt make sense. when I was th9 I got 100k+ raids every 4-5 searches, 3mil a day average. th10 thats another story. but spending that much on skipping bases? what are you looking for?! 250 empty bases?? the 100k you spend looking for a 250k base ends being the same as raiding a 150k base. look for those there are plenty at th9.

    Yeah, the trick isn't to look for THE ONE perfect abandoned base 300k/300k/2000 de... The trick is to go for the 150k/150k abandoned bases, but finding them a lot more often.

    Agreed! I am at the 1600-1700 trophy level and i find plenty of loot( mostly in premature TH9s. I only have to skip about 5-10 times.

    People are just too lazy and want to farm collectors for 200k.

    I'm at 1600 T (TH9) and when a base has 200k+, I attack. If I find a collector raid with 100k+, I attack.

    If I hit next 5 times, it's a bad day.

    Stop trying to make 12 attacks an hour and farm what is there. I make between 4-6 attacks an hour and I'm fine with that.

    I think you're way too low in trophies. I'm not finding it hard to come across good loots that are 180k gold and higher. I would recommend staying anywhere in the gold badges, I haven't had a bad day raiding so far staying in that range.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a modified search algo. was deployed in the recent maintenance to reduce the amount of gold that can be farmed. What I mean by that is in the past when there were less inactive and less higher TH players farming at TH 8/9/10 was harder then it is today. In the sense that most farmers can achieve enough gold to not gem for upgrades. As a regular farmer I do believe based on my results this morning that good loot is harder to come by. We'll see where this goes because it could be a total bad luck streak.

    I think a confirmation from staff that nothing has been changed to the search algorithim would be an instant reassurance, if they truly did make a change though I'm sure more farmers will post about it soon.
