But if it's true that they did something else, then wow that'd truly be underhanded. No better way for SC to sweep the problem under the rug and never admit they wrecked the game than to fix it in the shadows.
Once update dropped I saw nothing but empty to nearly empty mines/collectors/drills for 3 weeks. Elixer was so scarce I just started farming gold and poured all my elixer and DE into armies and spells.
Today I decided I really need to get lab going and decided to try this "milking" thing. I started in Master 1 and dropped to Gold 1 over the course of 2hrs (1hr w boosted barracks) milking all the way down.
I started with 2.5M elixer, 1.1M gold and 26k DE. I finished with 5.5M elixer, 2.5M gold and 31k DE. I was shocked at how much was in peoples collectors/mines/drills. I saw more uncollected resources in last 2 hours than I have seen in last 3 weeks.
Then I log off expecting near immediate attack as I am a young TH10 with 2 infernos upgrading to lev3. However, it has been 25 minutes and nothing. I feel like SC may have changed queuing. Maybe when you log off you go to the back of the queue instead of the front? Since people who of been offline a while are at the front of the queue their collector/mines are getting full. Just a theory.
