Farming is not good for business

[Street3]

I have several friends that tryed this game out, only to be discouraged from continued play because they get their townhalls to lvl 4 or 5 and they have their loot stolen from them by someone with lvl 8 or 9 town hall! In the past I made a suggestion of a troop warehouse or troop store to make loot, or making war more profitable even! Because people will not spend money on a game when they get destroyed and lose their loot by such higher levels! Especially when the higher you get you could end up waiting almost a week for your upgrades which is when most people spend their money to speed these upgrades up! But when people lose their loot that took them days to collect andthen they have to spend their money just to start their upgrades!! People tend to look at that.as not worth playing!! I don't think farming should stop right now or anytime soon because you would lose people who have been playing for years! But I do think something needs to be done to help people have different ways to collect loot! And possibly stop farming I will edit with the links to my ideas for other ways to find loot!!

And others feel free to post links to your ideas for a alternative to Farming!

Let there be war!

Wow the loot penalty must not effect TH8 and 9's

I highly disagree with you, when I was an th5 I only got raided by th6 and some 7's

If the TH8's and 9's attacking you for farming the loot must be horrible.

There is a thing called as LOOT PENALTY
when u attack a person whose th is 1 lvl below u,u get 90% of the total loot
when u attack a person whose th is 2 lvl below u,u get 50% of the total loot
when u attack a person whose th is 3 lvl below u,u get 25% of the total loot
when u attack a person whose th is 4 or more lvl below u,u get 5% of the total loot

Ok you are right about that because she corrected me it was a lvl 7 that attacked her! But still people design their bases to go against others of their lvls! You can't upgrade your stuff beyond your town hall! Nor can you get defences that are beyond your town hall! So how can a lvl 6 th defend against someone with a level 8 th! That is like a tank against a hum v with a mounted machine gun! The tanks go in to win because the other vehicle was not designed to go against a tank! A tank against another tank would be a better matchup! When people are attacked by people with troops they can't get yet, it kind of gives them a clue what they are go in to be go in up against until they reach the max lvl of the TH! And some get into the game just to get discouraged bc they can't fend off attacks made by higher lvled players! When you put a lot of thought into the design of your base just to be shown that it does not matter, it tends to make you click the uninstall button! I have a town hall 8 and I can attack a TH 6 and get 50g with nothing but goblins making it a 40g profit! I have used a mixture of goblins and archers, with heal spell and my barbarian king for a 100g profit against a TH 7! That's with their base design protecting their storages!

The way the loot system is designed makes it ineffective to raid lower town hall levels. Therefore, if your friend is being attacked, they shouldn't be losing too much loot.

The loot penalty is there to ensure that higher lv town hall peeps do not bully the ones with a lower th

Actually if this were true then there wouldn't be farmers! I actually have a good example of this ok, everyone knows what you receive is what.the other.person loses! About a month ago when I was in the clan blood bath and glory, I came across a town hall 6 and I was TH 7, I got 300,000 thousand each using goblins and 10 wizards with heal spell! This person was most likely trying to do the same thing I do, I try to lvl up everything before I lvl up my TH! Of course I gave up and lvled up to TH 8! But my point is how much you think that 300,000 each set that person back! My upgrades run 1mil and up so I'm always farming! Because there is no good alternative! If I stick to my trophie level and just collect and attack then I lose as much as I gain unless I have time to stay on the game for hours on end so I can continue to attack and collect, without anyone being able to attack me! But I don't and even war cost so much elixir to train troops and then not all clan members attack, and the war win loot is normally even or less than what I spent on war troops altogether does not make it a good alternative!

If you are getting attacked by people significantly stronger than you, that says something about what they are doing or what you are doing.

If they are doing a "zero to hero" kind of thing, then expect that.

If they aren't the error is on the defender, they are probably too high up in trophies.

So theoretically, it's not Supercell's fault: rather the defender for making poor decisions.

Ok just had to double check, but I just attacked a town hall 5 who's gold and elixir looked about half full and got 50g each with goblins!

i strongly disagree with you. there are loot penalty applied already. if your friend lose lot of her loot from higher TH, then told her to do the same to her lower TH, simple. if you get raided, then you should raid more. you will end nowhere if you only depend on the collectors. and one more thing, some people might quit if farming still allowed, let say your friend will, but if farming is forbidden, then most of the players will quit
