Why TH sinipes were important to COC

[IceDrrag]

This is not a thread to bring bank sniping but to understand the way it helped the clashers and the problems caused by removing it.Many have been supporting the removal of TH snipes without understanding the impact of it.TH snipes were bad i agree but did SC do enough to compensate ? or what can they do to compensate ? are the questions that we need to discuss

So let us understand the advantages of snipes (we all know the disadvantages)
There are two kinds of resource generation in COC transferred and generated

transferred is the wealth that is gained after a proper raid on a village and it involves deducting the cost of the army + the nexting cost to determine profit of the raid

The second is Generated ie the resources that we get from generators and Farming dead bases and TH snipes where the profit was huge and cost almost minimal

So one advantage on th snipes was the loot bonus which only mattered at higher leagues which drew some players to climb the trophy ladder

The second and the most important advantage of TH sniping was giving bases with low resources a shield and removing them from the nexting queue.With the snipes gone the nexting cost and time has increased dramatically.This might appear a minor nuisance to many people but imagine the increased amount of gold spent in COC globally this is the gold that's going out of COC every time you click next


Before the update the 'true chiefs' often raided the farmers for loot and farmers then got it back by sniping or farming dead bases. This was the economic cycle before update

As the result of the changes this is now the economy is into a state where everyone is attaching a lower TH and trying to do 100% rather than attacking a equivalent TH in higher leagues (for bonus)and there is not enough loot to go around.

With the boost ending on 7th its going to be a fish eat small fish out there and not sure how much loot is going to be around to raid

Chief, where's the problem?

Chief, where's the problem?

I just wanted to explain the changes in CoC economy and starting 7th there wont be enough loot for everyone.There's no problem at all.

Thats on point. Farming was removed by SC! Everybody know that.

Its affecting the nexting cost. Thats a huge amount of gold going down the drain

If higher leagues were compensated well then everyone would want to be there. There would be more town halls with higher trophies and Clashers would stop intentionally dropping trophies. Everyone would want to play as it is intended.

Boost league bonuses and fix the search function . Farming max th10's not fun at all.

[Rayzord]

This has been evaluated before on multiple occasions in the past. We are just waiting for fixes now OP.

[Anabelle0]

The OP's condition only holds in the lower leagues where the league bonus does not create substantial new wealth.

In the champ leagues, every successful raid creates at least 120K and as much as 250K of gold and elixir. If everyone raids as often as they can, that is a lot of wealth creation.

There is an even bigger problem than I think they realize...this update has actually removed more bases from the search cue than th sniping ever did....every base now has the th inside....so to get loot or trophys you now have to use a bigger army and go all out...so to speak. I only have 2 types of people attacking me...trophy droppers trying to get to a lower league to look for loot...and the more annoying ones that get 31 percent with no star...and no no loot...giving me trophys and a 12 hour shield with a 30 minute village guard...effectively taking me out of the search query every time somebody gets 30 percent on my base even if they lose the attack
It's the dumbest system I can think of...I want to be in the cue so I can get more trophys...and I'm willing to lose loot to get them
