Players putting the townhall outside of base is just a sign for wrong gameplay design

I have to disagree with you. Farming is an aspect of the game that was meant to be there. It wasn't meant to be for CW's but for getting your trophies down so you can attack easier players and get loot easier.

You need some counseling.

Only way to probably stop people from putting TH in a corner (I'm one of them too) is to make the Town Hall hold more loot. I'm sure if the town hall held about 1 million gold and elixer apiece people wouldn't want it sniped so easily.

I agree.

also, please please don't steal my gold. this is not the way to play.
mines are meant to produce gold to their owner, not for my opponent to steal it.

do you think you can add that to the first page ? it would help people to play this game better

You have a point, because the game's main point is for trophies...farming is just something everyone has evolved around to make progression in the game quicker and easier.

People who want to play casually should be able to do so. Who are you to say otherwise?

How the heck would you expect to save 7-8m for a building overnight (in master league) with the th inside the base?

OP clearly has no idea

Many players put their townhall outside of theirbase for better protection of ressources and to get a shield when their townhall is destroyed. This is a quite common habit among Clash of Clan players ...
why do you make this possible? Isnt it just wrong to make such a central component of the base so vulnerable to attacks?

And there is now another issue due to this in clanwars, because many players dont adapt their base to clanwars, it is possible for very low ranked players, to just put some archers in front of the townhall of high leveled player that put his townhall outside of base and thus gain a great loot bonus. Why is this a problem you may ask? Because he only gets one star ... other players in the clan have to go the hard way and use a lot of ressources to build an army and spells to get 2 or 3 stars in order to make the clan win ... and this one player just puts 20 archers in front of the townhall and gets even more loot bonus for free ... because the other players in the clan have fetched enough stars already ...

In my opinion this is just stupid gameplay design. Just make every player have to protect the townhall.
Why dont give any player who destroys the townhall automatically 25-50 % of the available loot?
Then this habit of putting it outside of the base will come to an end. To see all these townhalls outside of base just feels so awkward and unlogical.

Sounds like Boom Beach is the game for you.

The real issue here is that defense is just not valued. The best thing you can get in defense for a farmer is a shield, there is no loot to be gained. Unfortunately there is no loot reward for defense and no star reward in clan wars.

i mean I am never happy my base was hit, I am only happy on a townhall snipe that they didn't take more. Its a no win situation for a farmer on defense.

on boom beach I don't feel defense really matters either. Slowly learning how to farm in beach....

Its not the game's fault your members dont care enough about war to change the design and move the TH in.
