The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[Relentless]

M2, 6 raids, 45 minutes, 2 barracks + queen boosted.
Army composition: barch (71550 elixir) + 4 minions (44 DE)
Average nr. of nexting per raid: 20




That looks horrible, imo. It doesn't even contain one single good 200k+ raid to slightly off-set the rest. However, let's take a closer look:

Gold
Gold from raids: 534177
Gold spent on nexting: 20*1000*6=120000
Net gain from raids: 534177-120000=414177
League bonus: 6*120000=720000
Total gain: 414177+720000=1.134.177

Elixir
Elixir from raids: 451120
Elixir spent on troops: 71550*6=429300
Net gain from raids: 451120-429300=21820
League bonus: 6*120000=720000
Total gain: 21820+720000=741.820

DE
DE from raids: 3939
DE spent on troops: 6*44=264
Net gain from raids: 3939-264=3675
League bonus: 6*700=4200
Total gain: 3675+4200=7.875

So over a period of 45 minutes, while attacking bases with very low loot, my net profit consists of 1.134.177 gold, 741.820 elixir and7.875 DE. Over a longer period of time, if you'd throw in an occasional abandoned base with full collectors, the average would increase considerably.

I'm not stating that loot is amazing: most bases I encounter have little loot as shown above. But with increased league bonuses you're a lot less dependent on luck, allowing you to attack bases with low loot and still get a decent (not awesome) return. In addition, you don't really take much from other players themselves. Most of your gain is created out of nothing, increasing overall in-game resources. Having said that, I wouldn't mind getting a better return, but the situation is not abysmal.

I am getting similar results as a TH9, barching anything above 85k and, yes, I am making progress. My complaint is that I have NO CHOICE! And this has gone on for WEEKS now...not the odd few days when loot is bad and you either barch or don't play.

This is the problem and this is the complaint. We spent all that time and for some people, money, upgrading troops we can't afford to use.

Lix for walls needs to go.

It has destroyed the game economy. Loot will NEVER get back to the way it was (which hasn't been great since last Decembers 10% loot system). But before lix for walls, loot was ok, and we could progress in the game.

Lix for walls was a game changer. In a BAD way. If it is not taken out, then we need another drastic change to the loot system, allowing us to take more from people holding LESS resources. Back to the original 20% of up to 1 mill...

Guys, just tell your clan mates to put their th outside so everyone could snipe for league bonuses

I am not sure how to really post my thoughts or where to do it. But I'm just looking to see why boom beach wants me to update and why it wants to charge me. I thought it was free. Do I have to do this update ??????

This is the most original idea i've heard.

Exactly! I can create a very powerful army and take down max 9's, but why when I will not get back half of what I spend? I have all maxed town hall 9 troops, but the loot has deteriorated to the point that it is only marginally profitable using tier 1 troops. Ridiculous!

This will only work for hardcore farmers (like us) who stay online for a long period of time.

What about casual players who try to save up for an upgrade (lets say 5M gold), logs in, does a raid like yours (100k/100k), then logs out. Gets attacked with full force for 300k/300k because his storage is at 4.5M. Then what?

Been having some fun down in high G2. Made a good amount of loot in a short period of time. I'm tempted to go back to M3 with the new league bonus though..... need to do some maths to work out if I would turn over more $$$.

It's sad when even you finally come to this thread. But yeah.... Every good thing comes to an end.
