More trophies=more loot??

[jdayrit]

I recently upgraded to lvl 8th and i am having a hard time finding the same amount of loot that i was at th 7. i am around 1200 trophies btw.

just seems harder to get resources now

are you aware of the loot penalty?

if you were attacking townhall 6s when you were at th7, you incurred a 10% loot reduction.

If you are still attacking th6s, now you are incurring a 50% loot reduction.

Raise your trophies, start attacking th7s, 8s, and 9s instead.
Town Hall and Matchmaking

There is a lot of confusion with regard to how Town Hall levels affect matchmaking. The short answer is, it doesn't. Matchmaking is based solely on Trophies. However, the loot available to gain is affected by Town Hall level. Players get reduced loot for attacking Town Halls of a lower level. The following table describes this reduction:

Town Hall Level Difference	[Collapse] Percentage of Loot Available
0	100%
1	90%
2	50%
3	25%
4 or more	5%

It's important when upgrading the Town Hall to consider the above table, because it may affect one's looting considerably. It is also advisable to upgrade everything at the current level before moving to the next.
