Why ever upgrade Collectors/Mines

Sup Everyone,

I've been playing a while and from the people I've played with, Ive learned something. From what they seem to have read and experienced, they love to upgrade their mines and collectors first and to the max. Something I completely don't understand, and as a TH lvl 7 almost maxed (except for collectors and mines which are all only lvl 8 or 9), I dont understand why people are so obsessed with that. I love to farm, I think it's by far the best way to gain a lot of resources. It seems as if everyone is scared of the "Next" button until they find a 400k or better resource base.

Is anyone one of these people, that is all about upgrading their resources and mines to the max? And not all that into farming? I meant the profit you can make off of a solid attack is ridiculous. Go in with 100 Gobs, 6 giants, and a few Wall breakers if needed, and just ♥♥♥♥ the resources and end the battle. 60k resources to create the troops and always well over 100k profit. In 3 minutes. Maybe 5 with the time searching for the base. Is it because you don't want to lose trophies? If that's the case I understand more, because I sit at around 1000-1200 relying mostly on TH snipes and successful defenses to stay in that range, get up a little over 1200 on defenses won, then drop down to usually 1000 gaining a couple million elixer/gold.

I wanted to make a tutorial because my second account was pretty successful early on when I didn't upgrade any of those buildings and just farmed, and when I was reading that was almost always the first thing they said to upgrade and I really think that's wrong IMO. Is this just me or has anyone else had the same experience?

So when you quit everyone can raid your base and get lots of resources :p

Haha I see I see, Makes sense.

You're right, especially for lower th levels: raiding is a lot better than sitting and waiting for the collectors. But once you get to TH7 or 8, i think maxed collectors could help a lot. Why?
Maxed collectors: 432000 gold and 432000 elisir for 24h. Having a farming base means you'll have often a shield up... so for 12h you'll gain "free" 216000 gold and 216000 elisir just waiting for the shield to comes down...!

Maxing collectors could be helpful: if you are a "raider player", it's an investiment for the future (it can take a time to re-gain purchases of collectors); if you haven't time to play and attack, it's the only way for having resources! xD

who doesn't want extra free loot? honestly...

You get a free 432,000 of each rescources a day. Yes it is easy to get more raiding but it adds up quick. You get 12.96 million a month. It is slow but nearly half a million a dar by doing nothing is pretty dang good

Everyone has pretty much mentioned it, the cost is so little compared to what you get. Also sometimes it can be tough to have 5 builders working at the same time, so when I am short of gold or elixir, these are the things I am upgrading.

I often have only 3 or 4 of my 5 builders working just in case I realize I really want to upgrade something I'm not waiting 5 days. But I understand having the maxed collectors is good when you're AFK for a while, but I often break my shield to go attack. I rarely get attacked I think becasue at 1000 trophies when I do get attacked my almost maxed th7 defends them, and it's very obvious that I will probably win vs most opponents. The extra few hundred thousand is great but it's definitely not a priority. 400k over 24 hours to anyone whos a higher th is not a lot. That's 2 lvl 7 walls and 1/3 of most upgrades at this point. And that 400k can be gained in a couple of attacks. That's how I look at it.

One of my first attacks on my th 4 was 100k each resource and it just proved my point to me, that maxing collectors early isn't a big deal. A base that isn't used anymore often drops to very low trophy count and just sits around waiting to be attacked.

max those collectors. you can almost purchase one skull wall a day. it helps a lot when you get to th8 as someone else stated you get almost 15 million gold per month just from maxed gold mines, that works out to 30 skull walls doing absolutely nothing; factor in raiding and you will be swimming in gold.

Hit points.

Those are not free, you builders spent time upgrading them instead of upgrade heroes, defenses, camps, lab, sf, etc...

I m premie TH all the way from TH1 to TH10.. mines & collectors are in the lowest priority.

I don't suggest everyone does the same, if no one upgrade mine & collectors where you get loot???

my thoughts exactly, although i have 2 builders available right now, i'd rather keep them open just so if i happen to need to remove a bush or tree I can.
