The NEW one and only loot is good or bad thread

[Greg123]

760 pages and still going. Just goes to show we are being ignored. Everything pertaining to loot gets dumped here in SC's "trash can"

He speaks the truth

No, no, NO. It is most certainly NOT a "trash can". It's called "fixing the forums". We didn't care about the loot posts before there was a all-in-one loot post, so it's not like it helps us ignore them any easier. It's just that now you hooligans can stop pushing everyone's troop suggestions and all the other irrelevant things to the bottom of the list and making people feel like they'll never be seen. Players feeling like they aren't being seen/heard makes unhappy customers, and we don't like unhappy customers. Trust us, we SEE your posts. - SuperCell

(No further comments were made on if SC was actually going to do anything about them)

(PS: I jest, I jest. But with the lack of SC interaction on the forums, that's what it feels like.)

So for fun I logged onto my th09 account which has everything maxed but hero's and walls.
I decided to search for bigfoot. The "Big" inactive base so many on here say they find after a few next's and support their building habit's with.
Here's what I found.

First one showed up at 27 nexts.
Th09 with 112k gold 146k elix and 441dk

I passed because that didn't seem like the big one.

67 more "nexts" and I found a Th08 with 275k gold and 201k elix and 1300 dark.
I took it.

I went where some people suggested and I'm not sure how they support keeping all 5 builders busy on inactive's.
Unless I'm in the wrong range, I'm in crystal 3 at 2033 trophies.

I did however pass a few 200k+ bases but I was strictly searching for inactive's.

Inactive's are more like a treat if you find one now.

For the record this was just for me to see how far I had to go. I'm actually not complaining about loot on my th09 account.
My Th10 though...That's a whole different problem.

Edit:
First next after this post.

Great loot

Hey, those collectors are in fact full... That does count as an inactive, how dare you not feel blessed. Maybe that's why SuperCell doesn't allow buildings to be deleted. Imagine if we could all delete our pumps in "strike". Oh gawd, the chaos.

Great loot

It does suck finding bases like this, just a waste of next fees.

The game needs an achievement for maxing collectors about 1 year and a half ago.

If you can't find 150k, stop looking for it! As previously posted, search for 80-100k.

Personally I do ... even those are rare. The problem is with costs associated with attacking that's nickel and diming it to an upgrade worth millions. Aka ... a stupid waste of time.

Very true. And make it an achievement that people will want to get. Not a 10 gemmer or something. But at least 100 gems to get people interested.

Any why can't I have a setting that would automatically filter out any base with <50K of each resource without having to next. I could turn it on for farming, turn it off for pushing. Save me some nexting, gold, time, etc.

Not an option for everyone, the game is really designed to use more then just three troops [Barb, Arch, Minion].

If you are using a stronger army, that won't cover that costs. Accepting that after a tonne of lost gold nexting only sets you back even further.

[GuildedThieves]

You're assuming that gem purchasers fall into 2 categories: a minority that gem the hell out of their bases so they cap out in a matter of a few months (or less), and the majority that use it for boosting barracks. I would think that the people who understand the true value of gems--that boosting barracks yields the highest ROI over any other use--are also more inclined to get by on as minimal gem purchasing as possible. I am one of those people who understand this, and I also understand that I can get by on the game-created gems as I don't always need to be boosting every time I farm. It's all speculation either way, but I'm fairly certain that 80% numbers you're thinking of falls in line with those who may get builder huts, or speed up a TH construction, or instantly replenish resources. It's not a economically smart use of their resources, but those are the ones who are willing to purchase them over and over, as they are getting a poor return on their investment and require more as they become depleted often. The uninformed gamer makes for the best customer.

It's the old 80/20 rule, 80% of your business comes from 20% of your customer. I'm pretty sure the same would apply to clash.

This thread by supercell just screams their is a loot problem.
Why would you start a "one and only loot thread" otherwise.
i just honestly hope they fix it a little before all their customers walk out the door and they wake up realising the regular gemmers that keep it going are gone. You have to keep it fun and possible to progress or most will just get over it and think its not worth just gemming everything. Many ppl would rather gem while still progressing with farming.
Well i know i have stopped gemming and so have the other 34 ppl in my clan. Cant speak for all ppl of course

I'm on my way to maxing my TH10 base. Other than the new mortar, which needs one level, and a few traps, my defenses are maxed. If I can do it, as a TH10, anyone can.

If this is what I can look forward to ... I'm never finishing this game with a maxed th9 even. I'd rather prepare a tax return than next for such paltry resources twice an hour. Also as a near max th10 let's face it ... you're near top dog status. Your defenses for guarding your loot are top level and I'd bet you're mostly left alone.
