I made this very argument in the thread I reference in my signature. Wars are a complete joke in terms of cost. And a bad joke at that by Super Cell on its customers.
For the most part, our clan does not farm. I would prefer none but some want to do it once in a while. So we war once a month for the "fun" of it. Although the most recent war (our 2nd) was NOT fun in that we got destroyed by a clan that used every single attack and got all but 6 stars. Pretty impressive. But not fun for us. LOL.
In any case- yes - war loot sucks and is not economical. And I too can gain more in 2 hours than a 2 day war by a long shot.
