I have a well developed th10 base, not far from maxed and since the update the loot has been horrendous. I am in crystal 2 and prior to the update i was getting regular raids of 300k without much searching now I get the odd decent raids but i am mainly pressing next about 100 times (100k) to find a base with 120k. I use maxed balloonions to farm so i do not rely on dead bases for my loot and generally 3 star bases so there is a major shortage of loot in storages as this is where i get the majority of my loot from.

I have a simple solution to solve the loot crisis. If everybody puts there town hall outside so it can easily be sniped then everyone will be able to gain loot via the league bonus with zero (or very small if you have no heroes) expense and the defender will lose nothing. I am in crystal 2 so the bonus is 33k gold and elixir plus 100 DE if everyone had there town halls outside it would be easy to win 60 in an hour for example which would reap rewards of 1,980,000 gold and elixir and 6000 DE in one hour.

People will moan that this would make the trophy system pointless but they are pretty irrelevant anyway as when farming nobody cares about trophies, this would also enable lower town halls to go up leagues easier granting them better league bonus and gems for the achievements.

People will probably say this would take the fun out of the game but lets be serious at the moment it is not much fun pressing next 100 times for zero gains.

Please discuss.

Everyone putting their town hall on the outside is a horrible idea. It just means they will all have shields most of the time. One of the reasons loot is bad is because people that are farming and have a lot of loot in their storage will put their TH on the outside, get sniped and nobody can loot them for 12 hours. Most of my defense log is filled with minimal losses because people snipe my TH or kill my TH and collectors which also doesn't add up to much.

One of the better solutions would be to move a significant amount of loot into the TH so that people are forced to either protect their TH or lose loot in exchange for a shield. Add to that a big league bonus for 3 starring a base so that people with a significantly lower TH don't show in the higher leagues and the amount of next needed to find a good base will drop dramatically.

Meh, I've been playing since Dec 2012 and it has always been up and down depending on time of year, updates, game popularity etc. I can still get 1m an hour on a good day so seems to be ok. At my best 2m an hour but takes luck too. Can't make things too easy haha.

Not going to say its good, but treated me well today. Started day at 2750 and barched up to 2950, over 4 mil elix gained in the process.
But, thats for 28 wins, and clanmates in m2 been finding nothing interesting.
Good luck with the nexting to all, ive had my day in the sun.

Your "solution" would be the killing blow for this game. Whats the point of raiding if you cant hold on to your resources. It would require staying online for hours while you save up for upgrades, and evry last drop would be drained into walls.

Edit: You Are also wrong about the 12h shield. Hunters are the ones living behind shields just to stay online for hours and hours to avoid loosing stars. For a farmer they only last until we are ready for the next attack. 12h is just for the night and when you're busy living life outside the game. Which I'm looking really forward to with only a few upgrades left.

i understand what you are saying. I have watched farming guides on all arch or miniball from some nice youtubers (witelightningHWD). I have used some of your tips when farming in c1 today and also to get there in the first place.

while I agree that farming in c1 is effective, thing is that the loot is extremely inconsistent now. Your loot guide would have worked very well around 1 mth ago and around the time of your post. However, many things have changed in c1 since.

1. Snipes are very rare to find now (once every 15 mins or so)
2. Th7/8 are almost never seen (once every 20 minutes or so)
3. Inactives are very rare
4. Lack of exposed storages (most bases are preemie th10 with gold walls and offering little)
5. There are not many bases that are easy to barch/ all arch on. Some are easier than others but their defences are rather concentrated and I usually have to use heroes/lightning/cc to get the 50%, even then it was still very clutch.

maybe I have to be more confident in my attack and go for unfamiliar bases for practise. I am just afraid of loosing as 1 Loss sets me back a lot considering how difficult the bases are. I'm only a th9 with a bk10 and an aq8 so my heroes are quite weak for where I'm farming which doesn't do me any favours.

As for loonion, I have been wanting to try them out for farming for quite some time as they are really good but the elixir cost and the training time is holding me back. Getting to m2 is also really difficult since I'm not very confident in my attack and since there aren't many easy bases for me to attack it will take some time to get there,

maintaining a high trophy count is also really difficult since you practically have to win every raid which I won't be able to do since I'm practising as a th9 with rather crappy heros. Considering loonions take 40 minutes to train, it may not be very time efficient either considering I need to win cups to push quickly, I could try boosting raxs but I don't have money to spend

i respect that you and other high level farmers are having success with loonions but the majority of players aren't. If they were, they would have already gone to champs but they have not as loot is still good for you.

the thing is many peeps still farm at lower leagues since high league play is stressful and requires session playing and constant boosting which many peeps can't afford to do. The inconsistency of loot is not helping matters either.

sorry for the rant and I appreciate your help.

Hello any pro farmers on?
would any of you mind sharing any tips on how to make looting a little more enjoyable or to restore some enjoyment in the game? Many people are on the verge of quitting which is a shame considering the time and effort in building their base and all.

Sorry for reposting just think its better to see a more constructive discussion about loot situation and for everybody to share their experiences instead of straight out complaints?

Eg. If loot cant be found, try pushing as soing something else for a change? Would be more interesting to do something else?

Pro farmers stay at townhall 9.
Trophy push go to th10.
That's too bad if anyone is a premature th10, it warns you loot penalty before upgrading townhall.
Don't worry their level 1 inferno tower will protect their loot, even if it's a really little amount they can only make. ☺ NEXT

The concept of the game.

Loot lately for me has been better but not great. TH10 2430. It's usually very up and down I find

This is the first time I've been on the forum since the last update. I used to play CoC and check the forum every day. I still play the game every day, but some days I don't bother raiding because ever since the last update it has been annoying trying to find loot. Sure, I get excited when I find an inactive, but am I the only one who finds the fact that players get most of their loot from inactives to be a red flag of a broken game? I know inactive farming is in no way a new method for looting, but now it seems like that is the ONLY way to find loot (and I'm in C1). I mean shouldn't this game be played that you are rewarded more for destroying ACTIVE bases?? Just seems weird to me that we all get the best loot from inactives and not actives. The enjoyment should come from overcoming active bases. CW has that going for it, but other than that, loot seems messed up to me.

The last update greatly effected how much I play. Hope to see SC fix the loot system soon...
