Why upgrade walls?

Hey guys and gals
I was thinking the other day, what is the point in leveling up walls when the gold could be spent on building etc. Bearing in mind I have all level 8 walls, I realised how menacing they look and thought it's not about how strong the walls are but how they look.
If I come up against a base I automatically skip it (I have level 5 troops) because in my head, I think the base is strong.
I was wondering, does anyone agree or do you think they should be leveled up for defence?

Howiee

Walls can be a mental deterrent against attacks. Who would you attack a guy with maxed defenses and gold walls or maxed defenses and skulls. Probably the gold walls. At least i would cause it looks easier.

too much gold: helps to show off that you're part of the 1% that knows how to play this game.

after wall lvl7 there's not much use to upgrade the walls anymore

IMO, after lvl 8,walls are usefull to drain your extra gold and to afraid your opponents. That's all.

Level 10 walls take three max wall breakers to bust instead of two, 50% more. If you're not playing at the top end of the game (and I hardly ever did before clan wars) then that probably doesn't matter. But I'd much rather attack someone with level 9 walls than level 10.

Walls show patience and skill. Also they are very intimidating.

Above level 7 is primarily to give the attacker second thoughts before attacking.

Once you reach level 10 and 11 walls it can actually help you defend. It won't keep players with maxed troops and heroes from 2 starring you but it will keep them from 3 starring you. That's the main purpose in the end.

They can be helpful at times. I've noticed a payoff with them. ;)

Plus you can only spend so much gold on defenses and defenses take so long y'know. Might as well upgrade walls in between rather than sitting on loot.

It's not very important to upgrade walls, because they can be easily broken with wall breakers no matter what level they are.
