Rushing up to TH 8 is okay in my eyes, but just make sure you max out TH 8 before moving on because after 8, it's not going to be fun getting demolished by other TH 9's and 10's when your base is underleveled.

What if there is no loot penalty :rolleyes:
WHAT IF SC FINALLY RELEASED AN UPDATE
fat chance
Basically, the double DPS + halved HP concept wouldn't not change anything. It wouldn't balance everything out, as a mortar could wipe out a group of barbarians before they even get to attack once. Now, if the reverse is true (double HP + half DPS), then the Barbarians could survive a few shots from the mortar, and within that time manage to deal some damage to a building. So, in this case, the doubled HP would be better.
Now, the double HP + halved DPS concept also wouldn't changed anything. Let's say we have a wizard, that, without anything, deals 100dps and has 50 health. There is also an archer tower that deals 25 dps. With the double dps + half the Hitpoints, then the wizard might be lucky enough to be able to get 1 shot on a building before it goes down, dealing 300 damage, because wizards fire every 1.5 seconds. But, if the double Hitpoints + half the DPS is true, then the archer tower will take 4 seconds to kill the wizard, and the wizard will be able to get 2-3 shots on a building, dealing 150-225 damage, which isn't the same.
