Why punish someone for providing a service to everyone

I love th snipers. They come in and give me a free shield. Even better, SC, who is constantly sucking resources from the game through various means, pays them to do it. Thus increasing loot economics for all.

So with this inmind, why do people trap their ths? Is it for a sense of self satisfaction seeing a friendly sniper squirm and some meaningless trophies? I understand they have the right, that their base is now vulnerable, etc. etc. My point is simply why scare away someone providing us all a valuable service? If there is one less sniper out there because you trapped your th and scared them away then you have done us all a disservice (not that I am having any problem getting sniped in 5 seconds). But you get the point.

i know this is an over played idea - just frustrated - and hope to reach and change the mind of one more trapper.

Not always, unless the loot bonus is more than the loot offer in the base, then sniping can reduce loot.

If the loot bonus is less than the loot expended on troops to take out the th then yes it would be negative. That has to be a rare case on an unguarded th. even with a very low loot bonus. Unless I am not following what you are saying?

Some people just want to watch the world burn....

I think it is comical when folks double bomb their TH. They're going to pay upwards of 30k gold to do what, exactly?

Gbombing a th is just silly. I was talking more about quad tesla but I hear you.

Some people think that by doing this, people will not realize the TH is trapped after dropping a few troops on it and concentrate on rescources. This will get em a free defense.

Also, other people may only be looking to snipe not fight. These people may be more apt to drop a few lesser troops and then back away giving away free cups.

For me, I take it personally when people trap their TH. At this point I make it a point to run through their base. Last dude ended up getting 2 starred and losing more resources than had he not trapped it.

There's 3 Type of people > :D
people that want the shield>> they have many resources , they need a shield.
people that want the trophies>> pushers. ( they do anything for trophies)
people that want the fun >> it's funny u know :3


----> rare case
people want the unbreakable achievement

There will always be exceptions, but if one is farming their th and have it trapped, they are taking traps away from the main base and thus more vulnerable in that respect. I will take the shield for 1000 gold & lix and a few trophies; try for more and it will cost you though...

I trap my TH because its fun :smirk:

Also, if done properly- it can force the attacker to use 20-40% of their troops just to get the TH. Which often leaves them without the troops to get any real loot.
