Re: Is raiding still worth it?
I would say yes.. to some, it is.
People seem to buy AT for 290k UU per k, so there must be some darned good raiders out there.
Personally, I think selling AT gets me more UU as raiding ever would (except for some lucky strike).

The prices may have been pushed up by the war though... I know that on average I raid (admittedly from participants on the other side) 400k UU per 1k AT (6k / 15 AT). To buy at 290k UU means a 110k UU profit therefore.

Yes, the general raiding may be poorer with prices higher, but raids of 1 to 5 mill are more common now so overall I'd say yes.

Leave them all to me.
Well personally I havent been able to raid in like a year or something (Feels like it anyway), but I deal with raiders.

Re: Is raiding still worth it?
if you stick to raid targets with more than 300k UU out in the open, then you can get an average of 5,000 k UU per hit using 12 turn hits. that's 500kUU/per 1200 turns used. that's more than what you'll get if you actually bought UU's from SGW UU market section.

Re: Is raiding still worth it?
hm, i only raid if im getting more that 6k a hit, else the profit margine is too small, but apparently since new updates have hit, raiding is a hell of alot more expensive.
