    My experience with boosting is that sometimes you find crazy loot and other times you don't. I farmed 3-4 million in an hour when boosting and other days around 2 million. It seems just the same as when your not boosting.

    Man this is a tough croud.
    Why kill the guy out for giving you a tip
    I too have had good success boosting racs. I did not put 2 and 2 together like he did. I just thought i must have had won more battles and that is why i got over 1 mill gold and did not even count elxr in a hr. Th5-6 at that time. Those were good numbers for me at that time.
    Please cut the guy some slack. There will still be gold for you. It is not like he is tipping of sub 200 or anything

    It is absolute nonsense of course, still SC won't be too unhappy if people believe it.

    For those Th9 and lower count how many abandoned bases you are seeing each time you hit the next button. Go ahead and boost your barracks and count how many are abandoned. I realize you are building armies faster, but look at it as a percentage of looks. I guarantee you will see at least double the number of inactives with easy loots. Unfortunately, there are just not as many abandoned th9's and 10's so this strat doesn't work as well at th10. You still get a TON of inactive 7's and 8's tho.

    Its a brilliant strat by SC really. "I get crappy loot unboosted, fabulous loot boosted, I'd better spend some gems...."

    Don't believe me? Try it.
    I can say this is def true. The moment I boost I see plenty of inactives. Supercell is becoming like one of those over sea toy companies that the second no one is looking, they start using lead paint on the toys (a metaphor), cutting every corner, doing anything for additional profit the easiest way possible. Every single time without fail I get way more inactives when I boost.
    After all that this company has done in the last 6 months, I don't trust them at all and my mind is blown anyone does at all.

    edit just about time for more new pics of my alt account with a few new attacks and yet again removed from the que because I didn't log in 2 days.

    I don't care what SC does with the game as long as the game is fun to play. No reason for complaining yet. Trusting a gaming company is so overrated. Looking at the way some freemium games keep begging for money cough*dungeon keeper*cough we have nothing to complain about.

    What a bunch of nonsense. There is no logic or proof of any kind to back this up, sometimes I wish people used some common sense. I am continuously amazed by how paranoid some people are in general, thinking SC, everyone and their grandmothers are out to get YOU and are conspiring against you. It was all cool in the X-files, but that was a TV show...

    To completely disprove your observations, I will add the highly statistically significant and scientifically approved data comprised of my own observations

    Since the 10gems/2 hours change I have boosted a couple of barracks now and then, farming with heavier armies. And no, i son't get epic amounts of inactives, I just about get the same sort of bases as when not boosting. He difference is that my army cooks faster, has more meaty and hardhitting troops in it, which in turn allows me to hit harder bases for their storages, if I happen to stumble upon such. So having boosted my rax on several occasions and at different cup ranges, I can say that this is nothing but a load of balderdash with a generous serving of claptrap.

    On a related topic, if you manage to grow bushes in the shape of a cross they will all turn into gem boxes, Elvis is still alive and the truth is out there.

    edit: I thought the general consensus, based on SC posts, were that inactives are pushed further back in the matchmaking que after some inactiveness, and NOT removed before the 180d stated in the TOS. Got any (credible) source saying otherwise?

    The game stops being fun when Villages are placed at the very back of the attack que if they haven't logged in for 3 days (no inactives allowed!!!) and forcing us to stare at a screen for 12 hours a day to upgrade an xbow, meaningless trophy system, Che e t rs using oranges on their phones screens to not have to log out, builder lag to force us to pay extra to keep the same times we play or lose time and so many others I just don't care to go into it. Yea real fun....

    They removed inactives quietly without any fancy sneak peek poster about that, so in a sense this makes sense. After all, if they are thinking they can get away with it, that the audience cannot find it out, then who would not do this?
