One of a few that I can think of. Free shielding from Th snipes is the another big one that takes loot out of the system. If SC made Th hold a nice pool of dark elixir, then that should help to persuade players away from exploiting the shielding system. But that exploit obviously dosn't effect gem sales in any way, so why fix something (that as far as SC are concerned) isn't broken.
I can imagine the forum after that update, would be another 500 page sticky of angry players, but it would help loot a lot.

I hate to be a kicker,I always long for peace,But the wheel that does the squeaking,Is the one that gets the grease.
Why shouldn't you be able to get attacked while you're online and not under a shield?
I'll answer that for you: Because it's the only way you can ever profit more than you lose. And not everyone is willing to sit around staring at their phone for half an hour while their army cooks. Some people have...idk better things to do than...not playing a game but looking at it anyway?
Exactly. I'm guilty of abusing the free th shield, as well as staying online to not get attacked when I'm really close to finally having enough loot for an expensive upgrade... But these are systems problems, and the only way to play is to take advantage of them since everyone else is. But in the end it's only hurting everyone, and I would be quite happy to see both go away.
Even doing something like, no shield for an attack under 20%, regardless of whether or not the th gets destroyed, would be a good fix.
OK, so lets take a look at your keeping 5 builders busy raiding one or twice an hour (let's say 1.5 times an hour).
Average upgrade : Say 5M
Average time : Say 1 Week
Required Gold : 5 builders x 5 M per upgrade = 25M Gold / Week
Since we where kicking around 350K per raid, we'll say that (I say it's an impossibly high number, but what the heck).
25M gold / 350K = 71.5 raids per week or 10.2 raids per day if you play 7 days a week
10.2 raids per day / 1.5 raids per hour = about 7 hours a day.
So you're saying if I played 7 hours a day, 7 days a week, I could keep 5 builders busy, assuming I never get raided myself ....
Yeah, OK, loot is "fine".

No offense but you like most others raving about how fine loot is...are TH9 and below. Do me a favor, upgrade to TH10, loot for a month then come back to us. Those of us who have been here for a year and half simply know better.
I have talked to numerous TH 8 and 9 that say loot was fine, they could make it work (even though it WAS far better 8 months ago) then went to TH 10 and hit a brick wall. And their tune changed. Rather quickly. We are all opening up alts because it just ain't fun anymore, it plain sucks.
And for the love of all that is holy and good in the world, quit telling us to change leagues, change strategies for attacking, attack full bases..etc.... Seriously? You think we haven't tried all that? For months and months?
