Why max collectors when you have builders running 24/7?

[Liderc]

Upgrade your collectors. They negate the majority of any loss you suffer after being raided, as mentioned also some of the nexting cost, while also slowing down troops who are raiding you. Also during 1 gem boosts its an extra 500k per day.

People say inactive villages are being taken away from matchmaking causing a loot shortage. I see inactive villages all day long with crappy collectors not worth raiding, don't be that guy.

Isn't it good to be "that guy" when it prevents people from attacking you?

I wish I could get rid of all my collectors, they're useless. All they do is allow people to get 1 star easy.

The amount of resources they provide is pointless, I can spend 5 minutes a day and get more resources in one attack than my collectors will get in an entire day.

There is zero reason to spend building time on resource collectors if you can upgrade troops or defenses, absolutely no reason.

Even if you boost them during 1 gem boost, 500k is nothing. 2-3 attacks and you make up what you're having to spend gems on and wait, not to mention someone can just run BARCH on you and steal your full collector's for nothing.

People forget to calculate that when they're trying to say how beneficial collectors are. You aren't counting how often people are stealing your collector's resources every time you get attacked.

What TH level are you?

Me as a TH7. 'Only noobs max collectors what a waste of building time!'
Me as a TH9. 'Loot is horrible I'm glad my collectors make some loot for me.'

You need to upgrade all of your collectors and mines to max as soon as possible. Without high-level mines and collectors, you can't get enough resources to upgrade other things.

lol, same thing here. I maxed mine at th8 and was glad I did. Once you hit townhall 9, those traps and xbows are expensive to fill. Also when you do max 8 mil upgrades, the collectors are the only thing that replenish you.

Think of the loot those maxed collectors provide to the playing community vs if very few players upgraded their collectors as resource makers.

The game might fall into a wasteland of very little resources to raid. Collectors are a main contributor to the loot that you raid from others. Plus as mentioned they provide higher hitpoint values as tanks for defense.

If you have no collectors, it will actually be easier to get that 50%.

You do bring up a good point, but I do upgrade my collectors to a decent lvl that takes a day or less. But, why would you need 15M gold when you can keep your builders busy? Yes, they give a profit but loot shouldn't be a problem if you're in a good range except that nowadays loot is terrible. unless I'm not speaking from experience because I haven't been to TH9 yet, but I'm assuming you can roll over maxed TH8's with lvl6 troops.

15M is 30 L8 walls, thanks very much, I'll take that.
(or 15 L9 walls)

Low level collectors will make it easier for an opponent to score an easy star. High level collectors make it more difficult as they slow down attacker giving your D more time to pew-pew and thin the herd.

Low level collector loot is pointless, an easy 500k gold per day is not. I can spend 1 minute a day collecting from them and pad my storage with the free loot while making it more difficult for an attack to get to my storages. Attackers can steal at most 50% of a full maxed collector which will then be 75% full when your sheild runs out.

I do calculate the loss from collectors during a raid as it is negligible compared to benefits, they cannot be raided under a shield.

And to add collector raiders can be practically forced to give you a shield when they raid them leaving your storages untouched.

Let's see... even 5 gold is more gold than you had before, right? Why not make gold and elixer while sleeping as well?

I will never understand the logic behind not upgrading your collectors.
