R.I.P. Farming :(

[dahimi]

Seriously? Why would most players, let alone Supercell, want 3 million an hour to be attainable? That means 2 hrs and your max storage is filled. There isnt even any fun in that if it is that quick.

Because that means a few hours of play is all that would be needed to keep up. Plus don't forget about those walls.

Agree about the walls, but I actually like putting a lot of effort/time into this game. Plus, with walls factored in, it would be much easier to upgrade them all. 500k each to go from lvl 7 to 8, 112.5 million, less than 48 hrs of playing at those rates. I see where you guys are coming from on this, but I just think that that is a bit too easy.

I don't have time to play more than an hour a day, so it was working for me..... Life keeps getting in the way of my clash of clans.....

Very valid point as well. I really do need to get one of these "life" things I keep hearing about, but Clash of Clans keeps getting in the way

Not that easy with a couple of kids climbing on your shoulders..... Hahaha

It is indeed semantics, and folks can and will disagree on what "farming" vs. "raiding/looting" means... but, your pictures are a bit misleading in that you are missing the "relatively to the player concept."

Let me explain: I think everyone will agree that the "one goblin raiding a lot of loot" is clearly the prime example of looting. Since you cannot do such at 2k plus troph, by definition, the one goblin successful raid only occurs at low troph land. This has been nerfed, so this is a moot point. But, this would represent the extreme side of "farming"...

On the other hand, you show a picture where someone deployed 8 giants, 16 gobs and 1 WB as raiding. Yes, if the player can only hold 2 million gold and 2 million elixir, we can safely assume that the raider is a relatively low level player. Yes, such troops will feel more expensive and so, he can call it an expensive farming session, an inefficient farming session. Or, go further and call it raiding/ looting if the low level raider can only do such. It's because the effort and cost from 1 gob to the medley is even noticeable.

Here, I thought the pictures said it all, but I will further explain. Both photos were mine, and I was (and still am) TH8, and both were taken on the same day and in the same session.

It really isn't the fact that one required giants and goblins, though it's further evidence. It has nothing to do with the relative cost. It's the layout of the village being attacked. One had all of the resources laid out for free grabbing, without even any walls protecting it. That's a farm. It's only farming if it's a farm.

Regardless, language evolves with use, even if incorrect, and if everybody is using farming to mean "chasing resources instead of trophies" and I can't get them to use it correctly, then so be it, the definition will change, but that's not the original use of the term as it applies to Clash of Clans.

And supercell removed all the farms....

Congrats! You're the 5 millionth person to complain about people making threads!

Congrats, you are the 7000 000 000 idiot in the world!

Hmm, I spent 6 hours in the car while my wife drove last Thursday and 6 hours in the car on Sunday while my wife drove. Without gems I made around 3m gold and 2m elixir during each 6 hour period. I did this primarily in the 1100-1500 trophy range and am level 64 currently and TH8.

On an average day I wake up, sit on the pot while I do a battle, take a shower, do a battle before leaving for work. Do 5-6 battles throughout the day at work. Do 6-8 battles at home at night. So 13-16 battles a day on average. Each day I make at least 1.5-2m of each resource, with slightly less elixir, but you don't need much of that anyway. With the extremely long build times between builders, I always have enough for the builder when he is ready and then some. I also donate dragons and archers often throughout the day.

Not sure what others are doing differently, I assumed everyone did similar amount of attacks.

Once again... This is NOT farming... It is raiding....

I think you missed my point. My point was, it is easy to get more than enough resources for your needs. So who cares what you call it?

PS. I did the sub 200 trophy thing before TH8 and, to be honest, it was more of a drain than doing what I'm doing now. At least now the battles are somewhat interesting.
