lol you broke my sarcasm meter, by trophy hunt I just put my TH inside/in the middle of the base, and with my storage empty, farmers would just drop a single troop and end the battle, I was pushed up to crystal league 2 using this method

Been kinda just maintaining lately. Considering dropping and farming
Nice CoJ! Could you show me a pic of your base?
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ns-TH10/page14 copied my base from here, :)
Other - Trying to farm but its not going so well. Headed to crystal to see if its better...Its not...so kinda pushing but with my TH outside
as of late gem achievements.
but when your defenses are maxed, and all you are doing is waiting for long upgrades like walls and pekka/dragon type lab stuff to finish, than collecting trophies can be a great way to switch up things.. busting up collectors for the most part takes no (or very little anyhow) skill. while two-three starring a base takes coordinated effort and some-to-great skill depending on your army.
also protecting your TH over your resources changes the base layout dynamic greatly. and IMO brings a refreshing new challenge to the game. Sure you can build an expensive and long to train army to bust into the storages, but essentially it still is farming resource.
at least that is the way I see it.
plus if the resources are in a certain range above the one you are currently in, then you will need the ability to gain trophies. (cannot always rely on the exposed THs) Gaining trophies on defense makes for some interesting replays (and can be as rewarding as winning them with troops)
I am a farmer, but I have a sword and shield that I pick up from time to time when I get that "win' mindset and not the usual "Reso' mindset. that is why this game is so lasting IMO/IME..
YMMV.
