Rearming traps costs too much :(

All too often I'll have a defense that works just perfectly. The attacker falls for my tricks - funnels into my traps - explodes my bombs - leaves with 60k resources out of a possible 500k.
I'm so excited & proud of my clever base design that protected my gold so well.... Until I re-arm my traps & it costs me well over 100k.
Sometimes I think I just shouldn't re-arm my traps at all. But then pride messes with me & I rationalize that at least the attacker isn't getting my gold. But maybe I'd rather the attacker gets it than it just disappearing from the economy :(
Now I'm not a Supercell hater like some & I'm not one to complain about loot, but I feel like I shouldn't be punished for my good defensive layouts.

I agree with you

Yeah exactly-- this makes it so there is literally no incentive to defend.

So you are happy that your trap design works, but are not happy that said traps have been used and have to be rearmed.

...what.

Agreed, this needs to change.

I agree with this.

Traps overall will exceed 200k gold to re-arm them all, that is insane. It is also loot that is lost to a supermassive black hole. That loot will never be seen by any clasher again.

The purpose of traps is to have a one off benefit, so you cannot use them again on repeat defenses until physically re-armed. I get that. But that cost? Just crazy.

Costs should be more like half what they are now. Having your base demolished by a proper raider and losing 200k gold / 200k lix is bad enough. An extra 100k+ gold trap re-arming is adding insult to injury.

This game punishes defending too much.

Wth? Do you not understand English? He clearly said that he is unhappy that rearming the traps cost so much. Do you want me to repeat that. He is unhappy that rearming traps cost so much. Not the fact that he has to rearm them but the fact that rearming them costs a lot

Now I don't care one way or the other about traps, it never bothered me, but use your head man

Funky thread, I would gladly rearm traps, if it knew they worked! ;)

Actually before you get all twisted up my little friend. I didn't ignore the fact that rearming costs, that was just implied. Didn't realise I had to spell that out for you Mr. Do You Not Understand English.

He said he liked using them, until he had to rearm them. The problem being that rearming costs. So my point being... redesign and don't use them if it bothers you.

I agree. I never use my giant bombs and seeking air bombs/mines because they cost too much to rearm. The only traps I use are my skeleton traps, bombs and spring traps.
