The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[Coathanger]

I don't see the point of people arguing amongst eachother. Whether you presently consider loot to be good or bad, an increase in loot would benefit everyone, rendering your good loot into excellent loot and bad into good. So why vehemently defend a status-quo? Am I missing something?

From my point of view.

I play all my games starting on hard mode then adjust down if I become stuck to the point of frustration. That point is not reached for quite some time and after many many attempts. Also I expect whatever 'challenge' in the game to become more difficult the further I advance. Applying across the board changes making the game easier at every level takes away from the 'challenges' that make the game interesting. The time and effort I put into the game should be rewarded by putting me in a better position than others who do not put forth time and effort. This is why I argue against instituting easy mode, especially when that already exists in the form of leagues.

Why do we argue? This sport is one we engage with our minds and words rather than our bodies. A lot of this is similar to smack talk on the field.

tl;dr Competition and a sense of accomplishment would be lacking if loot was made to easy.

Who's to say who is exaggerating?

Each person is giving their own account of their personal experience.

Is it only people saying "loot is bad" that are exaggerating? Is it possible that a lot of people that brag about how much loot they are finding could be exaggerating as well?

I clearly said both sides exaggerate. Very few want to actually have a reasonable conversation about the topic. This means SC does not get clear, concise, and useful/accurate feedback. This hurts us all.

...I am curious why you're so actively and avidly defending your perspective though. If its so good wouldn't it be more fun to be getting it rather then posting in this thread dozens of times, which, it is kinda trolling dude.

I have, until recently, disengaged from this thread. I posted the above video because you said it was impossible to find 300k in 10 nexts. (btw I have a couple more ready to go for such arguments.) After that I got sucked into arguing against what I see to be flawed reasoning. I can raid, manage other games and post at the same time, it keeps me busy.

9/10 people say Finland doesn't exist?
Ohh my god! How do I know if I'm not in the Matrix?! What if we are both dreaming the same dream and when we wake up we'll die?
That's such a stupid argument, its no better then "nuh-uh you are"

You are missing the point of the analogy being made. The number of people asserting anything is not evidence of existence, it is merely evidence of a belief.

I have to agree it's a stupid argument, yet not more than one claiming the majority of complainers in this thread is a proof of loot been bad. I was just trying to explain an idea of non-representative study population to some immature minds here.

I have no idea what changed but I ran into three 200k each resource bases in 45 mins. I have not seen that since update. Dumb luck maybe more like something has been switched on. Unlike others here I dont give a ♥♥♥♥ for being a fanboy or hater. I'm just happy to see something felt like it was back to normal for clash of clans.

What do you mean with competition and challenges? What are you specifically referring to?

the reasonable conversations finished a couple of 100 pages ago & the conclusion arrived is this is a dust bin thread created by SC & no point banging the heads when no ones listening & then arguments took over the thread...

Apparently, some people believe that pressing the next button hundreds of times to find reasonable loot is a challenge that everyone should find to be fun. And everyone that doesn't want to spend the majority of their gameplay pressing the next button wants "easy mode."

The challenge in this instance would be the grind/farming faster than others. The competition defending your loot and taking it from others.

Since that was clearly directed at me. That is not the case at all and not what I am arguing against. Keep on with your red herrings.

Here is a vid of me nexting for a couple minutes and past villages out of my league when I happen upon a collector raid 2:32 in.
