The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[wannabgod]

It's hard to believe, this thread is going bigger and huge pages but SC is still silence. I just get 136.440 gold (minus), 50.182 elix and 498 DE. I can't believe, gold for searching cost is much more than gold comes from raid. This is a raiding game or searching game? I suggest SC pull the trigger on your head...Suck...!!!

When Softbank,SuperCells largest investor I believe begins to see the revenues drop off sharply they will move in and the brain damaged team behind all of this will be sent packing. It will be good sport to throw rotten eggs at them when they are sitting on the soup line wondering what they did wrong.

Could be, but I think it's improbable.
Not once have I been attacked by a bot, although I have resources to justify an attack, and not once have any of my clan members been attacked by one either.
From the videos I've seen from these scripted attacks, they are also quite inefficient.

One other thing you can check is that after the update, what mainly changed is the availability of elixir. Gold was always a bit scarce for some time now but, since the update, most of the bases I find have less elixir than gold available.

Nah. It's definately bots. Sure, there's less elexir available in storages as before but any hardcore farmer did 75%+ of his attacks on collector-raids anyhow.

The only storage raiding army with 'low' training time is balloonion. And that's not really fast enough for hardcore farming TH9+ where you need to earn 2-5 million a day to keep your builders busy.

It's the lack of collector-raids that's crippling farmers. And it's because all those raids are being done by bots taking them out of the queue because the type of attacks will also give the collectorbase a shield.

There are still collectorbases around, just veeeeery few above 100K. I'm finding collectorbases as long as they're in the 80-90K each range. My theory is: because they have it set to 100K before they attack. That's also why after the recent maintenance breaks there was plenty of loot to go around for an hour or two. Took the botters some time to restart their scripts and then drain the queue of all collectorbases.

EDIT: as i was typing this, the thread moved. quick work, efficient 100%

That's why it's in the rules, so SC can promptly ignore one thread instead of hundreds.

Except the bot can automatically start reconnecting once it's been logged off the game. The bots are back online faster than anyone else, which means that the bots aren't solely responsible for bad loot (no dead bases with full collectors), its SC doing something to the search queue. I'm pretty sure they control how much the inactive bases show up on the queue, them being higher on the list after mainteance breaks/updates.

Hi my name is WTH and I'm gem free since the last update :-)

I believe:
1) SuperCell doesn't care about us!
2) They have taken our money, walked away and disrespected us!
3) I'm happy as heck SC fubar-ed the economy now rather then later, a thousand($) into this game is enough!
4) As a close to Max th9. I have now lost the desire to Gem for inferno towers, Xbows and lvl6 Wizards etc.
5) Our clan chat has gone quite, the chat log goes back more then 24 hours, people are slowing down and leaving.
6) Guys who would gem a few hundred a month are not gemming anymore.
7) We are all sitting watching hoping our Finish friends fix this mess they created.
8) SC wants new blood guys.
9) I sure learned a lesion with these guys, looks like many of you are also (a bad lesion)!!
10) Oh and NEXT NEXT NEXT ... SUX !!

Nexting is not fun and more than half my time playing this game is now nexting.

LOOT IS BAD!

I'm pretty sure they control how much the inactive bases show up on the queue, them being higher on the list after mainteance breaks/updates.

Even if the bot can auto-reconnect (which I dont think is in the standard script since there's no need except for maintenance breaks and the predictable 'you've been playing too long' period) a maintenance break will ensure a period of about 2 hours where no farming has been done. That means the queue will have filled up with collector-bases again. And even if they do it all faster then regular farmers it still takes them an hour or two to 'drain' the queue of all freshly available collector-bases.

Edit: The problem (lack of collectorbases) only enforces itself because plenty of farmers are no longer farming because of it. Which means there are less storage-bases as well (the scripters ensure they're always on except for the mandatory 'break'.

I maxed my th9 few weeks ago. Walls to lego and lava. Heroes all lv 24.
Th9 loot is bad but still th9 can raid th8, th9, th10
Th10 loots is a different story, but as a th 10 myself, all workers are all busy.


Yes, I found loot,
but this doesn'e mean that loot is good. Of course you can find loot, but it's pretty stressful.
I assume you are th8 and under. Th7, th8 is the most enjoyable th swimming in loot.
Let's see what you think, once you get to th9 and later when you reach th10


Finding loot and having bad loot is a different story.
Even if loot get worse than now, still people might find loot with endless attacks, grinding.
Pepole might attack 150 times gaining 50000 per attack to upgrade just one Th10 building using barch.
This doesn't mean loot is good.

You took my comment out of context. I was quoting the guy I was replying to when I wrote that. I was stating that his argument was fallacious, and it is ignorant to say that because his clanmates are finding loot, everyone should be finding it.

Agree, money, or lack there of, is the only thing that will motivate a correctional change by Supercell to fix the Clash Great Depression. Unfortunately, in the technology space, Finish companies are not well known for continued innovation... look at Nokia. Rovio has just copied their once terrific idea over and over. To fix the clash economy it takes someone who understands economics more that a graphics designer. Frankly, if they just read this thread they could fix the economy quickly; stop E for walls or at least make them 2x the cost of gold. Once fixed, allow a 1 gem for 2 week collectors boost and things self correct from there.

Finland prides itself on "fairness" so the Elixr for walls idea seems "fair". Reality check, the world is not fair and neither is a game that is built on the concept of battling and being able to gem to get an advantage. Supercell, if you want to make this game "fair" just give us all max TH10's... oh wait, you would't make your money. Circle of life, I have a very hard time believing that your revenues are up now. I suggest selling to Microsoft, Sony or any other real gaming company before it's too late.

Th9 barcher here. I'm actually not complaining about loot. I can average 2-3 million a day unboosted, I know it's not impressive or anything but I can keep all 5 builders busy.
The only thing I'm kinda worried about is that many of my raids are storage raids, with barch, haha
