Loot reduction ruined the game. No response from sc.

[Dreiy]

but the xbow shoots quite much faster which is quite good against some troops where the cannons slow shots with more damage is good against other troops, its 2 different buildings you can't just look at the damage

xbow is one of the reasons because many players are rushing with the TH upload... all I wanted to say is that moving to TH9 only to get the xbow is not really worth it

Im farming at 1300 at th8. I have never had such good loot EVER in the past 10 hours, every base is at a minimum 200k gold, inactive, easy collector loot. I am probably averaging 230k loot per raid.

same here, I even not thinking to move to TH9 it seems to get worse and the cannons have more damage that an xbow lol

Sadly im moving to TH9 today, nature has run its course and im at that stage i need to move up

My initial reaction is that it isn't so bad. I will have to start using a slightly more expensive army, but loots aren't that terrible. About what you would expect given the loot multiplier figures.

I cannot agree with you more - loot reduction has defnately ruined the game. The few guys here who are claiming not to be affected are all TH7 and lower I would imagine. I am TH9 but admittedly got there too quickly but only realised the devastating affects after. I spend 40-70k gold cycling to find a base with at least 100k of each in it - I am in negative equity can't even make my raids pay anymore - it is so sad because I loved this game up until the update.

I absolutely agree with bok, the raid amounts are too small at TH9. I have absolutely no problem with sc making money off the game. Problem is that now it takes a week to get the funds for an upgrade so gemming it is the only way to get ahead in the game or take 2 weeks per item to upgrade. Also, at 80k cost of troops is a factor as you can't penetrate the higher level bases to win 200k every time. Meaning you make between 20k and 70k per match. Considering that you don't always win you could spend weeks getting enough elixer to upgrade troops etc. Combine that with spending 80k looking for a base to raid, you end up making hardly any significant progress gold wise as well.

Surely this system needs to be reviewed.

This game is totally not enjoyable anymore. It's obvious that sc made these loot changes and league system, not to help with the game but to make more money. It will cause some people to get frustrated and spend their money and it will make others quit. There are plenty of other games to play.

with a number of players complaining and claiming to quit, I'm expecting a bountiful loot season in the coming days, guys, you sould be used to this phenomenon, everytime there's an update there's a loot recession due to a number of reason, from players being more aggresive in looting, inactive accounts being pushed back the que due to their incompatibility with the new game etc...

and every major update, there are whiners who would quit, eventually their bases would be farmed due to their departure to the game, what a cycle

Sounds good to me. Sure, I'm a lowly TH 7 making my move to 8 now. But this game isn't my life, I play for fun. If there isnt any loot and the game ceases to be fun, just move on.

am th8 and i used to be making 2 million a day b4 update, now its 3/3.5 mill a day...

You maybe having some luck with raids, good for you. A player offline for a couple of days could have all the collectors filled up. Those players are still around for sure. The question is if SC have removed players from game matching who are inactive for weeks or months. That would explain why people having hard time to find the easy loots.

A simple test, how many people still see a player with obvious long time inactivity. for example, full of trees and tombs, no DE storage or heroes. Post it here.

and the killer proof for me is that I haven't one across one base with wall spikes, which were effective about 2 updates ago, before the wb AI was (tongue-in-cheek) 'improved'.
