Do you not know what the word 'except' means then? Do I need to quote the dictionary?
But anyway, back in the day when having maxed heroes and walls was twice as hard (probably more) and even less frequent, the term maxed referred to solely defences. 'Completely maxed' was what people used for when they were completely maxed. It makes a lot of sense to categorise them that way and is a lot easier to use in conversation than having a full list of all your individual upgrades to avoid offending a certain JJL66.
