That is simply because your base is attractive to attackers. Probably you dont have strong enough defence but do have lot of resources. Upgrade defences to the max and you will see that ppl start to snipe your th instead of raiding the whole base.

YES! And Supercell please right now! ;)

Your logic is wrong in a very fundamental logical issue: people attack your base because they believe they can win the battle. For this reason, it is way much harder to win a defense win than a attack win, because those attacking your base have quite good confidence that they would achieve their goal, i.e., either flatten your base or steal all your resources. So, if you don't have easy shield, you are bound to lose big time every time for a shield. And you know, the higher trophy you go, the better attacker are at estimating the probability of winning. For me, I have over 95% win ration in attacking, so basically means if I decided to attack someone, it is almost certain I will win and there is hardly any chance the victim will win the defense. And I am not even a good player, so if you think from the victim perspective, how possible could the victim win the defense?
If this "free shield" has to be fixed, I think it must be accompanied by the change that you have to attack every base that was matched to you, and all your troops must be deployed in the attack. I know as a fact that during the hours of my base not having a shield, maybe hundreds of potential attackers have touched my base but scared away. I would love to see the change so that those people would not be able to just easily walk away without leaving a trace. I have a good base, and I want to see people failing to attack it.If I can see 100 defense wins before being flattened by some else, I would feel quite good regardless of the resource loss. But now, I won't see this 100 wins, only the 1 being flattened. Not fun.

The spirit and intention of the game is to play both offense and defense. Some may argue that it is a strategy to place the TH outside to protect their resources, but obviously, it can be easily seen as an exploit of game mechanics. We are suppose to protect our resources with our well placed and hard earned defensive units, rather hoping for some noob come along and snipes our TH, enabling us to hide our resources behind a cheap shield.

We will still get one starred by getting our TH destroyed, but we will not get a shield. People will still have the freedom to place their TH where ever they'd want to place it, however, they will no longer be able to exploit the game for a cheap shield.

This will definitely make the high cuppers happy, and we can finally put an end to the cheap shield debate between cuppers and farmers.

I am a farmer myself, and I don't need a cheap shield. The farmers that does, gives all farmers a bad name.

I like this, no one wants it... No one make comments on this... Lets face it, no top gamers (gems useres) on this forum... because top gems players allways protect their townhall...

nothing changes yet :(

I just recall that most of the bases I raid are those of farmers, like the one I raided just five min ago. This is simply because farmers have usually more resources than trophy hunters (not talking about high end players who anyway have gemmed 90% of their advancement). I am hardly an exception. Though I am farmer myself, I raid other farmers whenever possible, and what I have noticed, lucrative farmer bases exist for every new day. Clearly, I am not alone to do this and so it is hard to understand the claims that farmers could not be attacked because they are 'under a cheap shield'. That is bull***t. But what I expect is that more of the future top players arise from farmers than those trophy hunters which with highly premature bases try to reach up as soon as possible. This is a long game and you better be well prepared if you wish to get up and also be able to stay there.

Radu, if we make THs the new storage, that means "farmers" will be forced to protect it. The TH was meant to be a TH and not a storage unit for resources.

The much simpler solution is to remove the shield from the TH being destroyed. Most of the farmers here are rather new to the game, and they do not realize that for a real farmer, the cheap shield is of little significance to farming.

Real farmers bases will not get attacked because of great defense and base layouts that will require more than tier one troops to penetrate. They can leave the TH outside, inside, or where ever they want, and no resources will be lost.

The only real effect this change will make is that it will force people to have better bases. Hiding behind cheap shields are no longer an option.

lol, thats the exact thing that I do. And as for your reference to people being "new farmers" some people might want to log off and know that there is a good chance that they will get an easy shield. If I have full storages, I dontwant to be repeatedly attacked with people just taking resources. Last month, I had 15 people in a row lightning my storages, or just attack my storages and then lave over one night. (Wuth a hybrid base, that was slightly more leaved towards resources) I woke up to -600k of goal and elixir, and -3000 dark elixir. Put it this way: Im paying the store in trophies instead of gems for a shield.

I don't know where you get the idea that farmers hide behind shields. The TH is just a useless building to farmers because it takes up space for protecting resources, so it is put on the outside of the base. Sure, this provides us with shields once in a while, but we only use these shields when sleeping, working, or going to school. No one is hiding... Your logic makes no sense.
