    Good post, word for word what my thoughts are. It's a mess compounded by the lack of action and communication by CoC.
    The longer this happens the longer CoC will lose its loyalty base. My clan enjoyed warring as often as we could, we are down to once a week, not enough resources to put strong armies together. Says it all.

    You have to add in the 400k bonus...

    For me, most of the time is doing other stuff. I don't have time to raid all day. This update allows me to raid pretty much when I want, since I can raid through a shield. And are you adding in the 200k/200k bonus?

    There is no need to drop trophies, you can still collector raid at a higher trophy level. Yes, just like pre-patch you will need to next a bit, but the rewards are far greater.

    I farm in crystal 1 / master 3 as a TH9.5
    First: Max TH13 - trophy record 5711
    Second: Max TH13 - trophy record 5561

    There's a league bonus?

    Watch. The next updates:

    (1) If you surrender, you will lose 100k gold and elixir: OR

    (2) it cost 1 gem to hit 'next' opponent

    You give them problem, they will come out with weird idea to screw you over and over and over and over until you give up.

    Really, you made 750k gold and elixir in 2 hours and you are happy, in silver or bronze you can get that in 40mins

    No. I made 1.3M gold, 1.7M elixer, and 23k DE in about 15 minutes of playing time, over a span of about 2:20.

    Th9 raiding th9s in champion, a lot different than th10 raiding th10 or th11 raiding th11, can't use giant healer, I have to come with beast troops, all spells and heroes, I have to get 70% destruction and try and hit 9 storages and town hall.

    Th9 use a giant/healer and 3 star bases in champion, we are clearly not on same page. If my attack fails and/or I fail to get all storages, I lose big time. With new multi player matchmaking, and more higher loot penalty, I don't find th9, if I
    did they wouldn't be worth attacking, I'm in champ and I haven't seen a pumps and mines raid in a long time. I can save elixir or dark elixir, but not both at same time. The army that I use that gets me 70% against my enemy costs almost 5000 dark...
    Not sustainable. I love coc. I'm still trying to overcome things in game, but for all the people that " love the update" or " still make great loot" use some understanding and look at it with perspective. Other people have different play styles, either
    in time played throughout day or level of base and army.

    Retention and earning is so drastically different based on you curve, let's say you are a new th10, you have th9 troops and defenses. You are matched up with almost exclusively th10, only ones with loot are max th10, all that loot is in multiple storages
    all over the base, you won't get a bonus or reach half the storages, you will likely run deficit on elixir or dark lix trying to even reach loot. You are saving towards the most expensive upgrades on the game, anytime you reach 4 million or more of a resource
    You will be 3 star and lose maximum available. Me, I'm not in that boat, but from seeing clanmates and other speak and keeping track of what I see nexting etc, I know that a lot of people are in the slowest grind possible. If not maybe even a grind with no
    progression if they can't play enough to earn more than their losses. Realize I am making it, I had a th10 max defense, 35/32 heroes, lava walls, and I'm a new th11. And I made transition when a lot of other people did so not to many max th11 for me to have to
    raid. But like I said, with my bonus and some decent bases that I find, I can profit on 2/3 different types of resources, but my gowiwi is stupid expensive. Feel free to tell me what I am experiencing isn't normal, or how I am wrong etc. Clash on!
