I think I'm done with the game until (and if) they return it to something similar to what it was.
I just upgraded to TH10 a week before the update. My issues now are that if I want to gain resources, I have to train a war army which costs at least 180k elixir. each attack will cost my another 100k elixir in spells so I'm spending 280k elixir. I can find bases with 450k/450k/2500 pretty easily but I can only get about half of that loot. so I'm gaining 225k/225k/1250 lets say. With win bonus I can get to break even or just above my 280k elixir depending on how well my attack went. I'm usually getting matched up with more developed TH10's so sometimes I don't even get half of the loot. anyway, I can't make any ground on elixir without expending massive amounts of time building it little by little. as I build my resources I'm also getting attacked and losing anywhere from 100k/100k/1000de to 250k/250k/2500de. so anything I'm making up on the attack side, I'm losing on the other side.
I have army camps to upgrade and a lot of research to do, which all costs massive amounts of elixir. It'll take me at least a month or two of hard work to gain (and keep) 7.5M elixir for a wiz upgrade. I don't have the time, nor is it any fun, to do that. last thing I want is a game that's not fun and that's what CoC has become.
in the forums I keep seeing people talking about all of the loot but any time I see a screenshot, they are gaining very little elixir and usually that's with max troops at TH10, which I don't have. So I think I'm kinda stuck and simply don't want to put in the massive amount of work it will take to keep progressing. of course I could buy a bunch of gems and do it that way but I'm not giving these people a dime of my money at this point.
anybody have any ideas to get me unstuck, I'd love the hear them. I don't see a way through other than to play this game for hours and hours trying to gain more than I lose. no thanks...
