What's the point of upgrading walls to Level 7?

I'm actually just around 20 walls from having them all to Lv7 at TH7 but a friend of mine has decided to go for TH8 with just Lv6 walls. He does have all his defences maxed out and his argument is that they both take 2 wallbreakers to get through. That is a very valid point, why not stop at 6 if 7 offers the same protection (especially with the new WB)?

Because level six walls are pink, you girly-girl.

But, the main reason is that it is easier to farm the gold to upgrade walls at a lower town hall level. So, it is easier to get lvl7 walls at th7 and lvl8 walls at th8 than to get both at th8.

Lv 7 takes a lot more time to break through with other troops. Also when u see pink walls at Th8 I am more likily to take the loot as they don't look as scary.

A valid point on the 2 WB breaking pink walls, but what if your troops are upgraded to max level? Giants lvl 6 would taken down the walls easily if it's lvl 6 pink walls. Your thoughts OP? ;)

They're aren't that many troop 6 around and most are archers who don't really care about walls :)

Check out the "Wall Breakers required to break through walls" on the wiki page. http://clashofclans.wikia.com/wiki/Wall_Breaker

Sorry, can't see what your point is.

Because not everyone attacks with an army camp full of wallbreakers.
Lvl 6 and lvl 8 walls both need only two wallbreakers to break them but there is 1000 hit points between the two.
5 Giants will take 5 seconds longer to break lvl8 walls than lvl6 walls.

Goblins or barbarians will cut through lvl6 walls like butter.

With all that said, My opinion is that you do not delay upgrading TH just because of walls. Thats dumb!
The main priority is to get rid of all yellow walls.

If the wallbreaker thing is the arguement against it, that is pretty shortsighted. Wallbreakers aren't the only troop that finds itself breaking walls. Barbs, gobs, giants, pekkas, even archers sometimes have to bust through them. Slowing them down with higher level walls is a noticable advantage.

Also, you have to get level 7 and walls before you can get level 9, which require 3 maxxed wallbreakers to bust through.

Better upgrade all walls to purple at th 7 and skull at th 8 and lvl 9 at th 9 than upgrade all walls from pink to 9 at th 9.
