Village offline whilst active in game

Hey all,

I just wanted to share an idea I had whilst playing clash today. I would just like to add that I am newly registered and I apologise if this has been brought up before?

OK, so I'm online and being active 'as leader' in my clan chat and global for recruiting. When I realise I want to raise my trophies by way of defense. Obviously I cant do the two at once, as we all know, being active in the game does not allow you the option to put your village up for attack. But wouldn't it be useful sometimes? I know it would be for me...

Advantages:

Being able to chat/recruit whilst allowing your base to be attacked.
To be as 'active' as your clan needs without it being a detriment to your strategy, allowing you to raise trophies without the need to raid whilst online.
Allowing more villages to be raided from the servers at any one time, in particular active people from your own time zone.

Hopefully others out there will agree, I'm sure there will be those that don't.
