I believe you may be missing the point of the thread. It's not a debate as to whether people are greedy and feel that they should or shouldn't have to waste 50 troops instead of 3 troops to take an outer townhall, the debate is why do people do this if they are likely going to ♥♥♥♥ off the attacker, and if the attacker is strong enough, they will then try to 3-star the base instead of just giving a cheap shield.
That's the silly part. Most of the posters here are just saying how they like to 3-star a base that does this to teach them a lesson for trapping their TH. I agree with them.
But if you don't care about losing resources and just want the funny replays, then go right ahead, it's a game and you should be able to have fun however you like if it doesn't break any policies or rules.
