Thats exactly what we are all doing Mr Green.
First we raid those with over 1.5 million gold, or a bit under than amount since it got so poor. Next we (most players) stay online raiding and waiting, raiding and waiting, raiding and (yup you guessed it) waiting. The exact second we have enough for an upgrade or a builder becomes free for wall sinking the gold we spend almost every last penny of it. Finally we log off with almost nothing in our stores.
If your base has a lot of gold in its stores when you go offline you will be attacked, if you break shield and log off a few times per day with a nice amount of gold in your stores,,, well you will probably be getting angry enough to write a post on the forum about it by now 😉
Hope this helps explain what been going on SGreen

Super cool to see so many answers.
So, if I have understand it correctly, then this loot update is most suitable for premature TH's, and for those who are very active in the game and has many raids during the day? I made some statistics over the last two weeks. - I raid probably 6-8 times during the day - on a good day. I have been getting far from the income I used to get - before loot update. In terms of income and cost when people are attacking me.
In my search, I have noticed that those who have the most resources are the ones with the strongest defense, and based on that, its like the loot update have made the strong richer. Or certainly easier to get richer because they can more easily defend their loot.
Before the update I was farming among 2600-2800 cups, mainly attacking strong th10 bases. Made by that approx 4-6 mio. gold a day. Search costs are neglectable
Nowadays I (try) to farm at 2000-2200 raiding poor th9 bases and making around 2-3 mio. a day. Search costs might eat up something like 30-50% of that profit.
Since my deff is quite strong, I do not loose in defence gold often, most losses are crazy folks throwing 5 lightnings on my storages (giving them 150k gold or 2-2,5 k delex)...
Net net a big loss the new system
In a nut shell, yes thats how the update has effected play.
One thing that many farmers are noticing is that gold per hour has really dropped and as we all can see pressing the next button has greatly risen in frequency. All we can do is hope that SC find a way of putting a lot more gold into the game soon, cause for me everyday seems like there is less and less to be had.

Yes, I wonder about when Supercell makes a comment - or tell us what they have in mind. I think we are too much uncertainty - Wondering if they can see there is a problem here or not? Are they ever going to do anything about it? It might be good to get some clarification, rather than ignore.
Easier to save to upgrade? How do you save when you are losing more per raid compared to before?Saving means you will be able to lose less per defense...
A better word to use is earn. Easier to earn (with the higher cap means more gold per raid...if you can find it and get all the stores...Lol) the gold for the new upgrades.
But seriously, SC need to improve on some areas.
1)SC claimed we are seeing higher average loot per raid. But why do I still see so many bases with less than 100k gold. Seeing 80%(by my estimation) of the base that come up in the search having less than 100k gold is depressing. Depressed customers are not good paying customers... Lol![]()
Problem: Too many low resources bases and too little high resource bases in the search.
Solution: This is a tough one. We have to change the mindset and encourage players to store gold again since no resource in store means low resource available to loot. And this seems to be the case with the high number of low resource bases coming up. No solution from me for this...
2)SC wanted us to switch to raiding storage. Ok, we will adapt. We will cook army that is strong enough to get the so called 400k loot. But the cook time will probably increase to 1 hour or more. Now my gph will be decreased to 400k per hour? Going to be depressed again... Lol
Problem: Much lower gold per hour due to longer cook time.
Solution: Please try to increase your league bonus to at least help us offset the losses.
Hopefully SC will take note of this... Thanks in advance.
P.S. the only good point of this update is the increased of cap for DE. Now I can earn DE faster for my heroes upgrade. Please take note, it is earn, not save...Lol![]()
