There are only two ways loot is created in this game - either through collectors (which aren't changing, unless there is something in a later announcement), or through multiplayer win bonuses. The goblin road also gives a small amount, but that is insignificant in comparison.
They have increased the loot bonus by 10% (actually, even that much won't be awarded for most wins, only ones where 70%+ damage is done), while reducing the number which will be awarded by at least 50%, probably more like 70-80%, based on my attack and defence logs.
I believe this update will wreck the game economy, and SC will have to fix it with an urgent update within a month or two. Either by increasing loot bonuses really significantly, or by increasing the amount you can get from collectors significantly (could be more generated at each level, or additional levels available, or more collectors available, any could work if done right).
I just hope that they fix it before too many people leave.
