I find that the time of day is the most defining factor. I raid from 11pm GMT and find 200k+ over and over again. When you are just looting collectors and mines with barbs it is very effective (for my purposes, at least). I raid for trophies in the day and trade them off in collector raids at night.
Please stop whining and tell your mom instead. Whinign won't make SC make loot better. Try Norsk or push up and farm. Not everything comes in a flash. If I can fill my storages (8 mil gold) in a little less than 4 hours under boost as a TH9, you should be able to as a TH8. Have some patience. -.-
