What is the purpose of staying and maxing defenses?

I'm currently th9 planning to go to th10 in few weeks. All I want to know y do ppl stay to max defenses before upgrading THs.

Well as a higher TH-level the loot changes when you raid bases that are of a lower level than yours. Basically you will earn less as a TH10 against bases that you would have stolen pretty much loot from as a TH9.

Then ofcourse, its the higher cost of the 'next' button that will cost you many many millions in the long run. The only benefit is that you will have your inferno's faster, which can make you enjoy the game more? But efficiency-wise there are no real benefits in going to a higher TH-lever before your defences are maxed.

Hope this helps!

2 main reasons:

1 is loot penalties. The higher your town-hall, the harder it is to gain the loot needed (gold and elixir).

Secondly, as you know, new town halls unlock new defenses as well as higher upgrades for current defenses. So if you haven't "maxed" your previous town hall you have a real up-hill battle. All your peers have higher level cannons/archer towers etc, and you're still trying to get your 3 existing Wiz towers to TH9 status, while also upgrading your new unlocked wiz tower from level 3 to 4, while trying to get your troops to level 6 in the lab, etc.

You set yourself up for a long haul trying to catch up. If you max out the current town hall levels, then when you unlock new stuff, you can focus on getting it up right away, keeping your builders busy with that.

Even with a maxed base ut not going to win a lot of defenses its juste for fun than people do that. Its better to have an upgraded base than having Th 10 with level 4 walls all other town hall from same level will 3 star u. Well hope I answerd ur question :D

the problem is with less loot, yes, as posts above clearly explain and I agree with them.

but, even worse, you also give more loot to a TH 8 and TH 9 as a TH 10 when they see you, because lower TH's get a loot bonus when they attack you. So, if you have good defences, they won't attack you unless they are very good players. Players will just skip you in order to find the easiest base with the best loot.

if the easiest base is you, because you have low defence, then ... it makes it increadibly hard to save up.

Since the loot update there are no more TH loot bonuses. If a TH8 attacks a a TH10 the will see just as much availible as a TH10 would see.

False. Loot penalties are still there, there are just no loot bonuses. If a TH8 attacks a TH10, he will see much more loot than the other way around.

Most people say no. But because it has such a big difference between Town Hall 6 and Town Hall 7, would it be almost worth going up before maxing out? I'm like maybe 1/2 of the way between 6 and 7. Maybe a tad more.

I would go up (& went up myself) larger camps and level 4 troops make raiding much easier. & the defences make your loot easier to protect.

I would max TH7 though
