Stop with the stupid emoticons after every single sentence. Seriously.
I'm a pretty extreme farmer, and at TH10, farming is quite difficult post-update. If I could put a general number as to how much harder, I would say it's about 3 fold compared to pre-update.
Filling DE and Gold is not too bad, but Elixir is a huge problem, there isn't much out there and there are very few collector raids. Collectors raids are not what I depend on as a TH10, but they are pockets of loot oasis's that really speed up farming progress. Storage raids are always more difficult and you hardly get out with 100% of it, with a heavy use of spells and dispensing all your troops. Prior to the update, TH9s used to all contain some decent storage loot, especially elixir which were often 200K+. I used to hit some of those to replenish my elixir wells, those no longer exist.
I have a long list of achievements and I have the tools and the patience, it's just clearly a huge difference. Perhaps it was SC's plan to slow high level player progress all along, even boosting is rather useless and wasteful as you still need to find raids to loot. TH8s and lower don't see this impact at all, so they cannot relate until they experience later down the road.
