Stuff on right is maxed for TH9, stuff on left isn't
EDIT: Air defenses are upgrading to max and one is out of place along with one of my drills.

Exactly. You didn't max th8, you're a rusher.

I personally am nearing maxed defenses for TH9, after going to it from TH8 with maxed walls/defenses.
That being said, many consider me a rusher because all my collectors are level 9. I use them as filler upgrades and never found them to be important enough to put a defense on hold for.

My collectors were level 8/9 until after I maxed out my th 9 defenses. They were even lower before I pushed to champs and didn't upgrade defenses during the push. I guess I would call myself a strategic rusher. I'm a maxed def th 9 with 142 skulls/90 legos/18 lavas, AQ 15, BK 16>17, maxed barch, wiz, loons, golems, minions, witches, hounds, soon to be hogs, and all max spells. I have lvl 4 giants, lvl 2 healers, no pekka. Collectors are being worked on now, all my barracks are lvl 9 and staying there for the foreseeable future, my second dark barracks is on the way to lvl 3 now. There are certain things I just didn't feel the need to upgrade at earlier th levels and still now at th 9 (but I plan on staying here for many months, so I'm sure everything will be 100% maxed by time I upgrade) and I didn't want them to hold me back from upgrading more important things more quickly. 5 days of builder time is damn long for a collector.

Its the non strategic, random upgrade, low level wall rushers that pop into mind when someone says rusher, simply because they're way more common. When I first started playing, at th 3, I had a clanmate who was a th 10 and had purple walls. From the time I started playing until now as I'm a maxed def th 9 working on legos and lavas, he's still at less than 10% skulls. He's upgraded his infernos from 1 to 2, 2 xbows from 1 to 2, teslas from 4 to 6, heroes about 1-2 levels each to 10/9. That was about 9 months of work for him. He still has th 8 defenses and a few lvl 1 de troops. That's what I generally think of as a rusher. Someone who rushes to a high th and then makes no progress to right the ship.

For me I consider people who haven't maxed defences from their last th are rushers.
Ancilliary buildings like collectors, barracks aren't so bad
Walls are not so important, we mostly get hit with dragons in war and walls are irrelevant compared to more money in x-bow or AD.

I'm planning on saving my own collectors for last when I do the long grind on my walls/heroes. I think I'll have all legos when I hit maxed TH9 defenses but the math on my heroes puts me at TH9 for another 6 months or so.

If you can survive, it's not rushing. Good players can upgrade Town Halls prematurely and not be considered rushers

How about the collectors guy? These are always my last upgrades before upgrading my TH. At the moment I am at TH5 and all my defenses/walls/barracks/troops/army camps are maxed. Should I upgrade the collectores, or go to TH6?

Do you think it's worth it? I personally maxed my elixir collectors, but not my gold mines.

He seemed to disagree and called me a rusher, and that its "more productive" to stay at the said townhall and just farm walls for months.

You lost me there.... Why you would even start an argument on global, let alone care enough about it to post about it on forums is beyond me.

Rushing is when you're severely unmaxed, not when you miss a couple of structures which you believe not to be useful.
