I've done a little experimentation and between Silver I and Crystal III, the odds of finding an inactive base is roughly at 40+ next's (Even during the least busiest hours between 12am - 6am when a majority of players are asleep).
I am still using Barch, and occasionally do GiantWizArch, but the loot I gain will never be the same as before. I think the main problem is that a lot of people are playing the game again and taking the loot before we do; or suddenly became active and spent all their resources on upgrades. So I think the best thing to do is to hold off from looting/farming until it all settles down.
Find and use a decent farming base and put efforts towards getting shielded and winning wars for loot.
