The Boring 200k VS. The New Exciting 100k.

[OJM]

I think people are more inclined to gem when they are having fun. I had loads of fun so bought gems to buy builders.

I would not gem resources for a game that is supposed to be all about raiding - whats the point? However, if people were able to make loot quicker than they could spend it or lack of troops was impacting raiding, then yeah, they might go and gem some builds to complete or gem their barracks...

When loot is poor and you skip far more than you actually raid, then you get irritated...then I think you are more inclined to quit than you are to pay...not many people like to pay for something they've stopped enjoying

I would assume so, too, but when looking at the game, SC thinks otherwise. Monetizing lack instead of getting money from those having fun.

Neither of us would spend gems for resources, but that's because we know how things work.

Why won't SC try to make the game fun for all and get people to gem for such is their decision. It wouldn't be my #1 choise, but it ain't my call. Nor I have any false beliefs, that anything I write would make a difference.

This is exactly the point i am at right now, if loot is down, around 80k gold average, i think "i'm getting bored of this".

And then think "not sure how much longer i want to be doing this". I don't think, i know i need to plough money into a game i am getting fed up of.

If sc thinks people will buy their way out of bad loot, they could be mistaken.

Cool thread, OP.

Exactly,

Loot production has not improved - so the loot sloshing round the system is the same - loots dont increase!

Soooo much this. What was needed wasn't an overhaul it was a simple fix.

All we needed was an increased loot cap at th9/10, let say 250k/300k (maybe 300k/350k). Then you give them one extra collector each. So th 9 get one then th10 gets another. Finally you add new levels to their collectors, but since we're scared of flooding the economy we keep them at the same cap as the lower level collectors.

There I just solved the loot problem while avoiding flooding the economy with too much gold. (You can keep or get rid of loot bonus'. I'd say get rid of them so that people attack their own th lvl).

I agree with the OP. Loot fluctuates too much now. SC needs to stop with these "fixes" and increase production and/or league bonuses to make loot better (not too much though).

lol "BORING 200K" I dont think seeing 200k all the time was ever boring. It would be better if I even saw 200k often.

Sarcasm isn't a myth.

Throw in an achievement for maxing collectors as well.

Oh ya! Forgot about that one. But it would need to be worth more than 5/10 gems to really incentivize people to actually do it.

I still don't understand why simple changes like this aren't added. Makes so much sense and gives people an incentive to upgrade their collectors.

The lack of achievements and lack of adequate rewards for existing achievements is absolutely ridiculous.

Also, has ANYONE completed 5000 successful defenses?! I've been playing this game since November 2012, and I have 623.

An excellent post OP as well as others here.

"So, again, in short, we expect this new system will mean some BIGGER raids, and also more of a variety of loot targets." - SuperSteve.

To me this is as if my employer told us that they were cutting our salary in half and paying us what we lost in lottery tickets.

"So again, in short, your salary will decrease, but you have the potential to see a huge payout and you will all see more variety in your month to month salary."
