if you look at my base, my basd is maxed (left only zap walls and some lavas and heroes), but it is maxed BEFORE the elixir wall update. Before that update, i could build an army made up of barbs, archers, giants, and wall breakers. If i came across dead bases, i would use only my archers and barbs to raid the collectors. If i came across a base that had most of its loots in the storages, i would raid with my giants too, but i would try not to use all my wall breakers. This WAS possible before the elixir wall update because the elixir i raided was enough to cover the cost of my army.
After the elixir wall update, the base i found are mostly 30k elixir, and that was not even enough to cover the cost of my barbs and archers. I couldnt raid at all because any raid would cost me to lose tons of elixir. Later, i didnt even bother to search as every search would cost me to lose tons of gold too.
Luckily i maxed my base before the elixir wall update. If i am considered successful, it was only because i maxed my base before the elixir wall update.
My point is: looking at one successful th10 doesnt mean that the particular th10 can still find loots now. he probably maxed his base before the elixir wall update and is unable to find any loots now. Just like me.
