Solution to reduce empty villages in search

[pitchke]

There are lots of empty villages ingame because lots of people use barch to raid Gold mines and Elexir Pumps. Not enough buildings are getting destroyed to get a shield and these empty villages are staying in the search system...

Why not give villages a shield by the amount of available loot is raided...

I raid a village and I steal 30% to 50% of the available loot it gets a 8 hour shield
I raid a village and I steal 50% to 75% of the available loot they get a 10 hour shield
I raid a village and I steal 75% to 100% of the available loot they get a 16 hour shield

Yeah, this also happens with storages, when people only attack 1 side of the base and try to take out a couple of storages, but then fail to get 40%. They should do something about it.

No its doesn't work

Btw these villages that get barched end up gaining trophies and slowly move out of your league so it doesn't make sense, if anything should happen to a shield it is just to ditch the hole shield idea, no more free shields at all

No need to ditch the shirk system. If someone gets 40percent or higher on a base at high levels usually cc troops are killed and at least one hero is killed. This leaves the base severely weakened making it necessary for shielding.

I think that the current system is quite fair, the way it is. A shield is only to keep your base from getting destroyed further after it gets pretty beat up, so, I dunno, I figure it's pretty good now. But yeah, I suppose that it could be slightly easier to get a shield, but I think that resources is just the wrong approach. I know that when I log off for the night, my storages are pretty empty, so all of my resources lie in mines and pumps, so it would be simple for me to get a 16 hour shield, which isn't bad, but not probably what supercell had in mind! :)
