When to farm?

Hey forums, I just wanted to really ask a quick question that has been buzzing in my head recently. Beware, I might ramble on, but I will appreciate you greatly if your knowledge actually influences and helps me.

Okay, so it has come to my attention that since I just hit Town Hall 8, I should be farming. I feel like i've been doing a lot of farming, because I was farming before I even started upgrading to Town Hall 8, so about mid-Town Hall 7. Is there really a proper time of when to farm? I feel like once you get to a new Town Hall, it is crucial to upgrade all of your new-built things, so you basically need to be farming there unless you're buying all the gems. At what point should the farming stop...? You farm to get your things maxed, but when your base is maxed, what you feel to do, is upgrade the Town Hall. And the cycle just repeats. Where do you guys (Supercell Forums) advise to stop farming and take a break?

Thanks for reading this if you did. I really hope this question gets answered, since I just want to get the buzzing question out of my head. Later!

U can quit farming when yur a max th10. Or decide to quit. If u quit plz stay in gold 3 and put all collectors and storages in corner away from defenses. I thank u

Farming never stops. Up to you how fast a progress you want to make in the game.

TH8+ is when the grind starts to kick in.

When you're getting stressed out. This game is meant to be fun. If it's boring you or stressing you out, take a break.
