Its the same. People making excuses and farm lower level people yet claiming higher moral grounds. You took the easy way out and go for other easy targets yet other can't take the easy way out and light your DE.
If you hate it, dont go mess in the lower level playground... If you want to have an easy way, then don't blame the kids when they kick you in the balls as they have no means to fight you fair and square.
It is perfectly your decision to farm at the range you want. If you want to farm at the lightning prone zone, then expect some light on the DE...
Have fun clashing
P.S. Farming lower levels is totally ok. It is perfectly easy and efficient. I do that too. But I do not look down on others who use light on DE. Its perfectly fine to light me as its my decision to mess around in their playground.
P.S. For your info, in my whole COC life, I only light once on DE as a revenge to a TH10 who went all the way down to 1100 to farm me. The reason why I did not light DE as my choice of method to gather DE is not because I am skilled, it is because of my foolish pride of thinking I am skilled....lol
