Long Term solution to loot deficiency.

I don't see why SC would make 3 different achievements for mines/collectors/drills. More than likely just mines combined with collectors and then drills by itself. Have you seen how much loot you have to steal for each resource to 3 star it?

Yes, they may incorporate two achievements instead of 3, that was just a guideline for what a possibility could be, and I think the original idea, well dahimis idea, is completely fair.
And im not sure what you are getting at with the looting achievements, which are easily possible to do in 10-20 days. Sorry I just woke and am pretty tired, so maybe explain what you are trying to say in the second part of your post.

I'm saying that you have to steal 2 billion worth of resources to 3 star the looting achievements just between the gold and elixir. It takes longer than 10 - 20 days to do from the time you first start the game. I don't think they'd make the achievements for maxing out collectors, mines, and drills take significantly less time. Also, you'd pretty much have to play most of the day to 3 star the loot grab in that amount of time. Not really for a more casual player.

It's 2 hundred million, not billion..
And this helps with the loot problems, where as stealing gold and elixir doesnt..

Your maths is way out...

I think this idea is one of the best Ive seen out there...

I should be biased but I dont have to be.

This will solve world hunger (for resources in the game).

The idea I have is simple. 90% of all loot in this game comes from collectors if not more (depends how much resources are gemmed and at what trophy level). YET, everytime I go into matchmaking maybe 25% of the people have max collectors. I see extremely advanced bases with lvl 4-5 collectors. They are the major provider of loot in this game seeing as it isn't just inserted into the game randomly (except gems). So if all the loot we are getting originates from collectors, we should max all our collectors to increase loot over the whole population correct? Simple way to get people to do this: Make an achievement for 250 gems (very small amount) to max your collectors.

Broken down version for people who do not want to read through that jumble:

90% of loot in coc is from collectors (10% is gemmed and I'd argue it would be less)
A large amount of coc players do not have max collectors, going back to first point-so less loot for everyone.
Easy way to get people to max their collectors: add an achievment for 250 gems to max them, this could also apply to dark elixir drills.

edit:

Thanks dahimi!
Mines/collectors.
1 star - 1 level 11 mine/collector = 20 gems
2 stars - 3 level 11 mines/collectors = 30 gems
3 stars - 6 level 11 mines/collectors = 50 gems


Drills
1 star - 1 level 3 drill = 20 gems
2 stars - 1 level 6 drill = 30 gems
3 stars - 2 level 6 drills = 50 gems.

Yay go mufasa!

You're correct, I miscounted the 0's. I completely agree with your last sentence and never disagreed with your original post.

Actually, my math was correct. My vision for small print is terrible considering that I can barely see each zero without my astigmatism fudging it up.

YES! in messages! I maxed my collectors on all 3 accounts and one for this specific reason so that more loot can be raided from it.

My apologies mr wonder

[ratsmah]

I've thought about this. Great idea!

I liek this but collectors just take too long to upgrade and raiding people for loot is more fun than collecting it.
