What makes the "best" farmer? [Food for thought]

[Sandalhat]

I know of at least 2 clans that incorperate gg into their reqs, clans do use it for sure.

From what i know it's not like "minimum 500 mil gold grabbed", but more like an additional assesment, not carved in stone.

I could be wrong though. But my opinion still stands.

Im glad you used 500mil gg, as one of the clans i know that uses gg as a req, has that exact one:

I've heard that there are some clans out there that use player level as a requirment, I think one I saw somewhere want only 120+ players, going to take me ages to farm another 14 levels 😓

As for ITD requirements, as of today we have the following requirements in place for all new, and current members:

Level 120
gold grab over 222,222,222
de over 1m
heros combined over 22
Level 8 walls

Request 2k a week during farming periods, as well as very active (we track most stats)

Noted.

However, the discussion seems to be abouth whether gold grab is a good indication of farming skills.

Also, there's also a possibility that clans are using gold grab requirement as an indication of activity, which i agree, rather than using it as an indication of one's farming skills. Just a thought.

In my opinion gold grab just indicates how much free time you have, and how much you have raided in low trophy ranges, its an indicator of dedication, not skill.

Yea there are clans that ask for 120+ but there are a lot who request for 110+ which is easier hehe

I usually refrain myself from judging without replays. Even if i do have some initial judgment, it is reserved and not brought up in conversations like "i don't think your advise is good because you have less gold grabbed/your walls are pink".



I do believe that is not how big family clans recruit. Not even the most hardcore farming family has gold grab requirements, although they do use it as a very brief guideline when judging a farmer.

Although most clans do, and like sneaky Dave said there are clan with gold grab in the requirements. Most hardcore clans would follow the gold grab because how would a clan continue to grow when they accepted members who have for example 175mil gold grab They might be a good farmer but the player wouldn't continue to grow at the pace of the clan and might not met future clan requirements. Therefore lots of clans would check the profile to see the level, look at his gold grab and dark elixir looted and maybe a visit to the base to judge if he was suited for the clan. No skill level in clan requests.

I agree. I just think that ruling out dedication as an element in what makes a good/great/best farmer is foolish. Since the task at hand as to define what makes the best farmer im thinking of something like. Dedication x Skill = best farmer and not just Skill = best farmer.

Farming depends mostly on luck.
collector raids give u around 350k with a handful of barbs n archers whereas if u try to raid 4 storages of a Th9 for the same amount u need a better army which takes more time.( thus more gold per hour is usually cus of collector raids)
i think even if u r extremely skilled u cant take out a decent th9 with just barchs.
raiding 1.5+ million in hour without boosting barracks is based on ur luck n just a bit of skill which we all have by the time we reach th9(not premature).
