    Loot Bonus for 3 Star?

    How would you feel about a loot bonus for a 3 star attack? Im a th9 so whenever I find a juicy th8 while farming I can usually plow through them with a gibarch, and having an extra loot bonus for getting the 3 star would be pretty nice. It wouldn't be anything massive, maybe just double the win bonus for silver and come up with a good amount for crystal+... just wondering what the community thinks of this idea

    I've heard of this before but not sure it's a good idea. Why would you want to reward someone for stomping on a weaker base? If you could 3 star a town hall of equal level, maybe. But that would pose a hardship for town hall 10's.

    I suggest you just enjoy the complete crushing of a lower town hall level (if you like that sort of thing)

    I do the same but we shouldn't get more loot for being bullies.

    A bully is what I call those that pick on lower level players. I used to complain about them. Now I am one but I don't think I should get a bonus for being one.

    Maybe a 3 star bonus for destroying a TH equal or greater than you

    Or place a loot bonus penalty similarly to how the current loot penalty works: based on TH lvl disparity. Maybe 50% of what that 3-star bonus would be for hitting a base a TH below you, and 25% if you go 2 below. What I like about the concept of this is that it would encourage players to go for more than just the loot and quit, and simultaneously keep lower THs out of leagues where it should be more difficult for them.

    When I farm on my TH9 account, I'll BAM or Barch w/ cc giants a loaded TH8... but I'll purposefully end the raid at 85% or so, after I get all the loot. I don't want to increase my trophies too high, as the good gold/elixir loot all settles in the high silver/low gold leagues. I'll sometimes luck out and pull off a 85% 1-star on farming bases, and I think this is counter-intuitive to the intentions of the game. If they provided incentives for me to simply wait out the rest of that fight, take the 3-star and not have the negatives (higher trophy range) greatly outweigh the benefits of leveling the base, I'd be all for it.

    I think there is a very narrow range in which a 3 star loot bonus makes sense. At low levels, it does not because one could just get max troops from clans mates and stumble in to a three star attack. This sums up the lower level THs we have in war. I think this will needlessly unbalance the economy. Likewise, at TH10, especially in my league, there is just such a fight to get two stars that I do not think people will be motivated any more by a loot bonus to get three stars. That leaves the sweet spot...maybe TH7s, 8s, and a few 9s. I do not think it is worth changing game mechanics just for this range of player.

    I think a better idea would be a quest line dedicated to getting 3 star attacks. This may needlessly bias against those already TH10 and in high leagues, but it gets to the point of what you are saying in that people should have more motivation than just doing B. Arch all day.
