People might be pretty bad at this game...

[Stephenwolf]

Maxing out TH9, 20% lavas, 80% legos. Still only have 1 xbow level 2 up, the other one is upgrading to level 3. Also still have 2 archer towers upgrading, and no heroes up for defense.

All I wanted was a shield for Xmas, was patiently waiting for one with a full loot offering in Silver-

(yes I know my trophies are low, but I'm used to seeing people in Silver wreck me)

Contender 1 Attack Cost-134k Elixir. Got 70k elixir 7%
Contender 2 Attack Cost-151K Elixir, 1,145 Dark- Got 81k gold, 5400 e, 13de 19%
Contender 3 Attack cost-174k Elixir, 1,135 dark, plus 2 heroes got 81k gold, 70k E, 15 dark(as in fifteen), 25%, probably a griefer, could have gotten that extra 5%
Contender 4-I did not fill my clan castle for this guy, was hoping to just get rolled for a shield)
Attack cost-103k Elixir, Net was 53k elixir, 10% I think this guy got disconnected, as he had an easy path to my core.

And finally, my hero-
Contender 5
Attack Cost-249K!!!!! Elixir 1351 Dark Plus baby heroes- Got 41% Got 322k Gold, 71k elixir, 2134 dark


No wonder there's an elixir crisis in this game, people might not know what they're doing.

Total Outlay on armies 811K Elixir, 3631 dark
Total Looted from me over 5 attacks 270k Elixir, 484k gold, 2165 dark

I guess I also rolled through 72k elixir on CC troops and however much in rearming traps.

Yeah i see a lot of TH9s go all out on my base with all spells and their heroes (1 usually survives with some damage)
along with a GiBarch with a heavy emphases on Gi.


-Im th8, bout a month and a week old-


Yeah they're getting 200k Gold, but my DE gives them a net of like 300 DE.
Elixer is usually at a minus.


Now i know this might seem like a 1 for one trade on elixer to gold, but factoring in time to train army and the wait for heroes + spells AND the fact that you can easily get My TH and one of each storage with just like 45 pct of their GIBarch backed with heroes it seems like people really don't know how to farm efficiently.


Call this bashing but all i majorly see on this forum is "But i can't find any dead bases. I complained to supercell about not finding dead bases and they didn't respond"

I'm not saying dead bases aint effective, cause it damn sure is.
What i am saying is that a lot of people, empirically, have been spoiled by dead base farming and aren't confident in storage raids.

I always thought it was weird how people thought well of when i got my BK up fast as a th7 to lv 5 BK, when it was just me switching from collector/dead bases to storage raids. I wasn't impressed by my feat and was surprised others were.

Same story with my BK Lv 10.
I got him up to lv 10 before i even started working on defense portion of TH8 (besides a lv 5 archer tower)

Though the above was because of pushing to high leagues for DE.

TLDR; I get hit more by th9s who can comfortably take me on, even at an expense, than th8s who have to maybe put in a bit more thought into storage raiding me. I doubt more TH9s find me than TH8s considering how matchmaking works, so from what i noticed the community was spoiled by collector/dead base raids and don't know how to farm effeciently

Of course they don't. Which is why forcing them into this is a bad idea. What do you think how much more of those raids will they do before they give up on the game?

People become bad at attacking when they gem pretty much everything.I saw a guy once on the forum called mirkwoodarcher,leader of a lvl8 clan,TH11 with lvl 15 warden.In war,he did 2 attacks- 41~% and 32~%. That shows how bad full gemmers are.

Haha obviously they do not want the trophies but just the loot

First thing that I look at in war is the key profile stats and you can pretty much figure out who will - or won't - be able to attack...

[TrolololKing]

Sad story bro!

[Goldorak]

I would 2nd that

[Denton]

Now that's funny right there...

Some will give up on the game and others will learn to farm efficiently. The challenge of the game is not in winning raids, but in winning raids with the weakest troops you can manage. Storage raiders love to give barchers a hard time about not being real raiders, but anyone can destroy a base with 400k elixir worth of troops. Talent comes from doing it with very inexpensive troops.

I was getting gowiped like crazy after the update, but thankfully people appear to be wising up and using cheaper troops now. This both wastes less of their elixir and saves me from getting wrecked quite so badly sometimes.
