Incentive to upgrades collectors

Some people do not upgrade their mines and pumps because they just raid for recourses.

This creates a problem for other people who have no reason to raid them back (because they have hardly anything to steal) and overall it creates a shortage of resources in the game.

I believe that buildings should have more prerequisites than just the town hall level.

For example: Instead of a crossbow just requiring a TH9, now building a crossbow requires a TH9 and two level 11 elixir pumps.

Another example:
Instead of an inferno tower requiring only a TH10, now the inferno requires a TH10 and one level 6 dark elixir drill.

and so on for other buildings.

Why wouldn't you want to max out collectors. It Is cheap and gives you free loot.

Yeah, even Chief Pat says you should get collectors to a high level. But yeah, I do wish people would max their pumps and mines. That way I can raid them...:p

Yeahh.. Higher level of collectors would have more resources.. And I like raiding bases with full or maybe just many resources

If you are a VERY hardcore farmer, then it makes sense to not upgrade your mines/pumps.

I'm talking about the people raiding 10+ mil gold and 5+mil elixir per day. I think maxing DE drills makes sense, though, because at TH10, that extra 7200 DE per 24 hours is quite a bit.

By not upgrading pumps, it helps make those people a lesser attractive target to be raided (as you guys have clearly proven) so from their stand point, it's a good tactic for them. I think they should be allowed to play however they wish. If they don't want free resources, then they shouldn't be forced to max their collectors/mines.

I am no where near that hardcore, so I enjoy my max mines/pumps. All I'm saying is, they make up a small percentage and clicking next when you come across them shouldn't be too big of a deal.

I think the more limitations you put on players the less people like the game. If you always have to hit more and more criteria it becomes a pain to play. If people don't want to max their collectors but want to spend gems to build and upgrade an army to raid 5-10 mill a day I am guessing SC is not going to mind. I'm not saying I don't agree with you but you have to look at the whole picture.

Terrible idea. This is not an incentive. You're essentially forcing people to do it.

A better idea, that is actually an incentive, is for them to add an achievement for maxing collectors.

what supercell SHOULD do is make an achievement for achieving level 11 collectors. this would be an incentive for people to actually upgrade them. i say at least 5 level 11 of gold mines and elixir collectors.
