Defeating the purpose of a farming base

[selleycopter]

It certainly is amusing to see these replays, it's basically the same idea as protecting your TH behind one layer of walls butcept for the fact that you'll ruin someone's raid and you get a bit of entertainment. If you're a high level farmer then your defensive replays will be very boring, 1 in 10 - 20 people will raid for loot. Putting teslas near TH definitely makes defensive raids more entertaining.

i dont personally do this but i talked to a clan member and he said to me " if a sniper with a good army wants to take out my town hall first and then head on attack me he will waste more of his army on the th and have less to attack my base with"

EXACTLY why I do it

[Salvanost]

There no rule for th outside the wall
high trophy won't use this strategy anymore
1. This guarantee win the raid, encouraging player to try 2 star for more trophy and loot without fear of losing the trophy
2. They could get shield from 40% and still win the def, so why giving free trophy while you could getting free shield?

from attacker perspective
A. They want trophy, i give it to them
B. They want some loot, allright i give elixir to them, and i could focus my def to protect gold and dark elixir

Why place the townhall at defence range?
To reduce their offence, so they won't try 2star my base
btw i like santa trap around my th, but i'm not doing it anymore since my sister like to collect the santa trap...

Seriously why ppl like to add some trap around their th
it's really expensive to maintain
and not good when hog attack your base

Exactly. If a TH is place at some corner defenseless, and the base has resources... I'd devote a few archers for the TH and use the rest of my troops to go after the resources. I already got the cups that I want, any extra resources are just icing on the cake.

This...

You force the attacker to waste too many troops on the snipe that they don't have a full contingent to attempt the three star or resource raid. Many people who farm will want to snipe the th too to stay even in their trophy count.

There is certainly a risk in the next attacker trying to three star if the first attacker fails, but as of right now there seems to be no shortage of th snipe attempts by idiotic players.

Bro, you don't know who you're messing with. I mean, neither do I, but still.

haha, this one made me laugh! lol

[Growler]

There are actually a couple of reasons to do this that make sense.

1) Great replays. Hilarious to watch a weaker player fail to even get the semi-exposed TH.
2) Works great for high trophy farming. Forcing people to choose TH OR loot without allowing both is crucial for a good farming base in masters.

Sure, or it could encourage high level farmers to simply take as much resource as possible, take out your heroes and CC and stop before 40%.

An exposed TH will hardly prevent high trophy chasers from taking resource as well. A couple of defenses or Tesla's covering a TH isn't going to stop a decent troop outlay from taking resource as well as the TH.

I don't know what everyone else's opinion on this is, but I can't seem to get my head around people who have their townhall outside their walls, but yet put it well within range of defences or have it covered with bombs and teslas. The purpose of having your town hall outside is so people will snipe it and give you a free shield, but if you have it so close and within range of defences, people will constantly pass it up as it isn't really snipe able by a couple of troops, then somebody will come along and steamroll your base since all those snipers passed yours up. Same thing with teslas and bombs around the townhall, it will just annoy the person and lead to being 3 starred.

Just wanted to get other peoples opinions on this, and see if it's not just me who gets irritated by this as it clearly does defeat the point of having a farming base.

yeah but the ppl that would try to 3 star you would do that anyway, having my bace passed and losing less trophies is usually good for me me because i used to farm at 1900 and i th 7 so it was pretty high

[Rain3an]

Irrespective of my trophy count or if I'm farming / hunting,
my rule for dealing with exposed THs is still the same:

If it's truly exposed, I 1* you as a courtesy: irrespective of how much loot you have / how easy it would have been for me to 2* your base.

However, should you decide to screw around with me & place a bunch of teslas / bombs / a defensive building within unreasonable firing limits,
I take you for all you've got.

What the tater said...

Honestly, there is just no talking to some people.
Count me as one of the many that farm with not-low level troops.
If your TH is trapped, I will smite thee...

Then you'll find your servant is your master..."

Personally I hope people place their th in the corner and cram traps&teslas there as then they will be away from my troops. As I want loot I could not care less about the th.

[Tuvya]

I stopped sniping THs some time ago since they will come back and zap your DE..
