Actually, for TH 10s (except the most casual ones) that update was fairly good. It finally allowed us to move past crystal and make profits, whereas before the 200k storage cap made it impractical.

It did affect lower levels to feed off abandoned premies because it took out loot bonus. But honestly, I hardly get any 700k loot raids and when I do I cannot get it all, so no complaints here. It barely affected us and I can't say I have been unhappy with the loot the past few days (400k gold raid yesterday)

Right now I'm using balloonions (40 minute train time with my ratios) right around 2800. Granted, I'm not raiding non-stop all-day everyday like I used to, but most times I log on for a raid I can find a decent base to attack within 20-30 searches or so (naturally, that varies at times) that I can win 200-300k off of (meaning about 300-400k after bonus). The bases here really don't require too much to beat, I actually see quite a few TH 9s everyday, so any of them that have loot is basically a freebie.

I don't know if you have tried balloonion, of course it's not for everyone, but I can assure you it works for some of us.

I definitely am used to balloonian, and used it at one point for almost a month straight. Loot was really good around 2700, of course, I was constantly flipping through servers and using heroes/cc troops almosy every battle. I don't recall ever seeing very many th 9s with loot; I still believe the game requires too much activity to find loot. Without heroes, it is very difficult finding a good base to loot and win with balloonians.

I am a TH9. Loot is just fine from Gold 2-Crystal 3. If you cant even figure out how loot is better from Gold 1, 2, 3, sounds like you dont get the game/loot penalty or you are a premmie. So, at gold 3, most players are TH7, with no loot to offer to TH9-10s. At gold 2-C3, there are more TH9s to raid with plenty of loot. If you are a TH10 you shouldnt have an issue. I use balloonian, raid once an hour with no boost or 4 times with and I can get 200k each per raid, around 700-800k per hour on boost. Even if i was TH10, my productivity would not drop to 200k in over an hour. You are probably in the wrong range, using the wrong troops to farm, or a huge premmie (or all 3).
Also, gem users. Does it count if I spent gems from obstacles boosting? I have 1300 (and 4 builders huts) and I havent spent a cent and I boost sometimes, therefore I use gems.
Or do I have to buy em to be part of your proposed benefits program, I can spend 5 dollars and the cheapest pack. But I dont need the game any easier and most TH9 and TH10 know what theyre doing and how to farm

Do you rely on spells heros at all ? My minions will be level 5 in a few days so I will retry bam once they finish.

Only for storage raids, but even then, not in gold(Usually).

Pretty much. It does help if I find a 400k gold storage raid I can take it all but I do fine with them upgrading too.

In my experience with th10's is that you really shouldn't be barching or baming. But you need armies that can break into bases like balloons or hogs

I am sure an experienced barcher may be able to break into the core assuming they have wb. A few giants however, would prove extremely useful.

There's loot in just about every league level, problem is there's not a specific league or trophy point where the loot stops.

I've been at th8 for a while, and there were times for ♥♥♥♥s and giggles, I dropped all the way down to silver 3 (I meant to go only silver 2 but oops messed up). During my climb back up only using BARCH, I came across some of THE most awkward things like poorly developed th9's and th10's that were just loaded on loot (well for me anyways because of the loot bonus).

The problem isn't so much as the system randomly generating bases with practically no loot, although on a side note, yes because of clan wars people who want to stay in their clans are indirectly being forced now to improve their bases, thus spending whatever they got before they shut their eyes and go night night.

The problem really is there's not a system in place that only allows certain th levels to be able to drop to a certain league or trophy count.

Imagine all the farmers who's got say 3 defenses upgrading at one time, leaving themselves crippled to an attack. So what's the solution, drop trophies and hide in lowbie land until those defenses are back up, all the while those that are hiding, are barching it to the next upgrade (I did that quite a few times and wow I ran into some good loot).

Then there's the issue of abandoned bases with max collectors overflowing with resources. For every time it gets attacked, it loses trophies, say first attack of the day, 50%, lost some trophies, second attack 100%, lost more trophies, etc. the abandoned base's collectors just keeps refilling itself for the next lucky person to come across it.

I would probably say there's a graveyard of abandoned bases down in bronze 3 (I was always curious but have yet to try and find out). Again there's nothing that stops those bases from dropping off the radar.

So you mix CW causing people to hurry and upgrade whatever they can before their next war, you have the hiders, the abandoned, and also another factor, you have people who dump trophies, pushing the ♥♥♥♥ loot UP the ladders. Not to mention your trophy pushers who have ♥♥♥♥ bases thus ♥♥♥♥ loot.

TL DR

Loot is everywhere, from people hiding to abandoned bases, from trophy pushers to trophy dumpers, and CW's "good loot" is scattered to the four winds. It's just basically what are you willing to settle for after hitting that next button for the 50th time.

[HopeInDarkness123]

Sounds like you are in the wrong trophy range. If you're not finding any villages with decent loot, you should probably try going higher. Most users I know actually find boosting barracks to be one of the best uses of gems.

its true, i swear loots great when I boost them..

Again, a TH is a TH no matter the Trophy range. A trophy range just gives you a better win reward. Put it this way, I've been playing this game 3 months and 1 week and I'm already level 90. With 462 million coins raided and 465 million Elixir. I have 3005 battles won.... so it's not like I haven't noticed the huge difference by moving up to TH10. Now, its so much more miss then hit. It's like the whole game has stopped.

Correct, I earn every resource in this game and I gem only the wait times. But I had full skull walls my first week as a TH8. So I was putting in mad hours. Again, this was when the game was so fun and good raiding was everywhere. I was just about maxed as a TH9 when I moved up to TH10.

So let me get this straight, this complaint thread is about you not beeing able to max out your base within 4 months in a game that's designed to take about 1.5 y to max out for the hardcore farmers?

According to you, you were making about 16mill gold/day as a new TH 8, actually more like 20 mill gold/day since you obviously did buildings aswell and if it was in less then 7 days it's more like 30 mill gold/day. Don't you want a game that challenge you at all? Your TH 8 farming must have been a walk in the park with those numbers, try to enjoy the challenging part of the game instead.

Just about maxed as a TH9 with 462 mill gold grab? Are you serious? You're about 300 mill gold short to be "just about maxed" and I'm not talking about lvl 10 walls here.

Your numbers and your complaint smells fishy to me, I'm just going to disregard this as another troll thread.
