Change outside town hall to give no stars

Now before you say NONONO, please listen.
By outside town hall, I mean a town hall placed outside walls, so that anyone attacking will attack the townhall to get trophies. By doing this the defender only loses trophies a lot of the time, and keeps their resources.
I suggest that you change it so that THs no longer give 1 star, but the TH should give ~20% of the total of the defenders resource pool (DE included).
This will make the TH still valuable enough to protect, yet stop people from TH farming.
Why do you want them to stop farming THs do you ask?
I have nothing against TH sniping. I snipe all the time. I have also kept my own TH outside since TH7. My problem is the knock-on effect of having outside THs, not sniping in and of itself.
The knock on effects:

1. Reduced overall target pool due to free shields
2. No true indication of your ability/level in multiplayer rankings.
3. Lower town hall people, gaining trophies above their real level, gives higher TH people MUCH LESS RESOURCE TARGETS. This is because of the diminishing returns of a higher TH person attacking a lower TH person. It is also because of the crappy matching system when searching for targets, it should not be based on an inaccurate trophy system, it should be based on your overall spent on buildings upgrades or a combination of trophies and total spent.
4. They made THs take up more of a footprint for a reason, 4x4 squares. If it becomes a loot resource, it will force people to put it inside their walls, making all bases slightly weaker.

This would make so many people angry. The Town Hall is only used to give away a star: not to lose tons of loot.

Because of shields, taking out someones outside TH gives the defender a 12h shield. Why do we care? Because it reduces the overall pool of targets to attack.

So? There are still so many other people to attack (and mind you, better people to attack).

The more targets to attack, the more major (All in) attacks placed, the more overall down time between attacks, the more quality targets for all.

Farming is part of the game. Is Clash of Clans about 24/7 trophy pushing, and forcing what people's layouts look like? No. It is about choice: choice about how I want to play, what I want to upgrade, when I want to do certain things.

Forcing people out of farming would kill a large portion of the community, which can reduce Supercell's revenue. This ultimately does more harm than good.

Pro (according to OP): Stops farming
Respective con: Makes people angry
Pro: Increases attack pool
Respective con: May push inactives further down the queue, decreasing loot, making more people angry.

If you eliminate farming, you eliminate a proficient method of gaining loot and trophy pushing. Also, its BETTER to keep the shields, so you dont have to waste gold searching through so many farming bases you dont want to attack, as it acts as some kind of filter.

NONONO this will ruin farming.

The game is INTENDED to be played like this. Of course you could ignore the Town hall and go straight for the loot! Farming is an essential part of Clash.

I was gonna say it's a bad idea from the title
but I read your explanations

"Because it reduces the overall pool of targets to attack."

I think thats a good reason
however, I think it "might" be a pain to code, cause you have to single out TH (can't explain)

and hey! no free shield, if they do this, they should lower the cooldown and gem price of shields
and maybe add 6h/12h shields


but of course, as the counterarguments above says:
TH out for Farming
TH in for Pushing

What do you have against th snipers? It's the only way for lower town halls to get into very high leagues. Also if you don't like ppl sniping you, put your th in the base or revenge. The 12 hour shield is for losing 4-11 cups as well.

That is the absolute WORST idea i have ever read on these forums.

Heck no! NEVER EVER add this to the game. Farming is part of the game!

That is exactly what I do when farming resources. The th gives me next to nothing in resources. So why take it if not needed
