Easier to save up to upgrades?

[blackdragon]

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

You should come back to master league.

As a townhall 6, here are my thoughts on the loot system.

I've been at 1,000 trophies for a while. I've been raiding with giants, archers, goblins, etc. and I just can't earn the gold like before anymore. Note, this account is a restart, I've been playing since March, I've remembered what this level was like. Townhall 6 was easy. Back then, my storages were filled CONSTANTLY. Now? I've been playing all day, unable to even get close to that. Once I have a lot of gold (right now), some townhall 7 with 200 army camp spaces comes along, crushing my town with ease. On weekdays, I don't progress at all. On weekends, I progress, but not enough to make up for the time that I have put into this game. I only have 135 camp spaces because I am unable to save up elixir to upgrade my camps.

Why would supercell want something like this? Townhall 5 and 6 is supposed to be the peak of enjoyment in this game. It's not like that anymore. This game isn't for casual gamers, this game isn't for new players. Ironic, isn't it?

By the way, I know that townhall 8s and 9s get this a lot worse than I do, but this is just my experience.

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

I believe some people (smart people who adapt to new realities quickly) might be doing this. I do not believe that 95% of people are doing this. You can't get 95% of people to do anything, forget having all of them spontaneously coming up with be same idea almost simultaneously. 30%, 40% I could see. But when I go through 50 bases, I only see 3-5 even worth attacking.
