I think people do it just to annoy the attacker and make you work for those 3 trophies. I just had a TH trapper about 5 mins ago. I dropped about 15 barbs and 20 archers to finish the TH and my troops lured his CC which was full of wizards and archers. I let the cc kill my troops and then I dropped a poison spell on them and watched them melt. Then I left. I was good fun :)
Lately, in masters, I've been finding quite a few TH9s with a similar configuration. The TH is at the edge of the base behind a partial wall, with all the teslas around it (of course), and at least half of the other defenses surrounding it. I really don't understand this configuration.
When I was pushing to masters and came across this configuration, I would take the TH and 50%, which was great for trophies. Now that I'm just farming, I go from the other side, take ALL the loot and get at least 50%.
With the normal configuration of the TH in the center, I can usually get a bit more than 50% and ~50% of the loot, and sometimes the TH and/or more than 50% of the loot. With this configuration, no TH sniper is going to try it, and anyone else is pretty much guaranteed of getting either more trophies or cleaning out the loot. It's a win-win for the attacker and a lose-lose for the defender.
I only do it when my loot is really low purely for entertainment if ya wanna full deploy for squat be my guest!
never failed to get a Trapped TownHall ^^
pro sniper. :cool:
I do not disagree with your premise regarding overall economic welfare. To play Devil's Advocate a little bit, I do not know that community's wealth should necessarily be a goal of an individual playing a game. One might argue that fun might be the primary goal. And it is pretty fun to see what happens sometimes.Quote:

So while I agree that if everyone put their THs out, loot would be bountiful, builders would not be sleeping, and research lab would be busy. But that not only sounds tremendously boring, but would also make people less active on the game, reducing clan chat greatly.
From Koof - to TH corner trappers:
When I catch you, I luckily have enough barbs and archers or a ton of wiz, so it doesn't even matter because I get you anyways now. Just thought I would say, you can't hold me back.

I do it because people take my th and go for the loot when it isn't trapped.
So I trapped it and usually troops are destroyed after getting th and the attacker has little troops left and isn't going to get my loot; with a few troops left.
I tried trapped and in untrapped, and trap is more beneficial for me.
It is none of your business how people play.....:thumbsdown:Quote:

In silver people just push you up no matter what as they are always pushing down.
I think trapping your th is skeezy, but I do enjoying utterly crushing trapped bases.. so it is what it is. I personally just leave my farming base out their because that's how I chose to play, doubt I'll ever trap.
