Judging from the amount of gold I've been stealing off hopeless TH 8's I think they have a legitimate case in this new update for getting dealt a bad hand. I usually don't use up my whole army since I'm more of a collector farmer but when I come across a 250k+ TH 8 that is still unaware of the amount of loot they can potentially lose then I can't help but rob them dry. As for TH 9's, I guess there is a threshold a TH 9 must meet when it comes to defenses in order to stand a chance against TH 10's farming and I've passed it already so I hold very little concerns. That's just me being inconsiderate I guess heh
The only solution is to farm for long stretches of time until the player has farmed enough gold for a specific defense they have in mind and then just empty out their gold storage's. I read your thread on the death of the casual farmer and legitimate concerns were raised. I'm still a student in uni so I can spare the x amount of hours to constantly be online and farm for my upgrade. I quickly figured out though that having mid or full storage's is a bad idea and if I have upgrades that lasts for more than a few days I always have my storage's below 1 million gold for wall farming (I always have one builder free for walls). Keeping anything more than 1 million is a bad idea now.
So, yes, I agree defensively TH 8 are getting the bad end of the deal with the new update but offensively there is now more loot than ever before imo. Even raiding TH 10's, one only needs to destroy 2 storage's to get 200k which was never the case before. We just have to wait a week or two until the new system has truly kicked in to see where we are at with this game changing situation we currently find ourselves in.

I just leave loot in my TH9's storages, the same way I always have... if someone comes along and gets 200k+ from me, fair enough, only seems to happen once every 3 raids. My way of giving back a little to the community. The most I've lost in the last 8 days was about 200k of each and 2.2k DE, which takes one single good raid to get back. I've still got loads of upgrades to get done, and they are all 3.5M+ now, I don't raid that much in one session. I manage to keep my 5 builders, and my lab, busy, in fact if I had a 6th builder that would be awesome.
Rather than empty my storages, I just never break sheild unless I know I can raid back more than I might lose once I log off...
p.s. did I already mention I love this update? Clashing life is still good, and more interesting.
Well it's been a week hasn't it since update
I am now th9 and I'm not happy you see the loot system is a joke because every 1 who has complained says that people are now saving for single defences then building an upgrade when you reach amount required always keeping builders free for walls etc
So if less loot in economy means less loot to steal
Yes I have found the odd 250 k or rare 300k base yes I can c bases such as th10 with 400k but I can't have any chance getting that loot
No one from supercell talks to my post about the old economy
Seriously what changes are they going to do to fix the 90% of players who have given feedback that loot is terrible everywhere
The old system though biased to th9 n th10 needs to come back but not penalise us either just give us resources supercell over abundance is better as it means income for u
YES!!! HORRY FINNALLY!!! THE LOOT IS BACK!! (Mostlyish...)
Thank you SC, you didn't lie abut just waiting!

This update is really un efficient and I personally don't like it at all I was 50 000 off of my dark barracks level for I go to the washroom come back got raid lost 494 363 loot. When I want to go attack I can't find a base I can make any elexir on it all the base have 70 000 loot and less it really hard to find a good base i was sitting before wasting ten minutes finding a base with 150 000+ loot and I wasted 50 000 searching I'm only TH 8 ! Common supercell I know u guys are better than this this! Please put back old loot system !!!!!!!
screw everybody but TH10's, game is starting to suck
