Obv you didn't read the part where I gem my spells....I can attack basically every 36 mins, it's low maintenance bc I'm not attacking every 15 mins. Some of us have lives and jobs and can't spend all our spare time on COC, so I attack when I can, and one big attack every 35 mins or so is doable.
As for me being a trophy pushing noob...I hover between Gold 3-1. The bases have lots more loot than anything in silver, and I get lots of dark around gold 1.
I would think a noob would be an 8 or 9 in silver barching in silver, because then , all the game becomes is a job, using your high lvl troops to knockout smaller bases 3 times an hour, all in the sake of nickel and diming bases to get that loot. Seriously, is barching even fun? Do you pay yourself on the back after a 1 star well done on a TH6 when you're an 8. Do you hate clan wars bc you can't barch bases?
So please accept my apologies for 3 starring town halls higher than me...I guess I'll be a good player and hide in silver like all these barching All Stars

DON'T TELL ME I DON'T HAVE A LIFE WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE GEMMING HIS BARRACKS INSTEAD OF SAVING FOR A BUILDER. oh, and if you attack every 35 minutes, surely every 20 minutes isn't that much of a stretch?
Well, if you think getting 2 starred every time you go offline is a great way to keep your resources, by all means!
Calling farmers 'noobs' proves that you are just after cups, DON'T WALK IN AND TELL ME YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FARMING. knock out smaller bases? well in case you didn't know there is a LOOT PENALTY. I barch INACTIVE town hall 9 and 10 bases that have been neglected and have loads of loot. You think raiding a town hall 7 gets me anything? Don't tell me you do differently because all you do is raid inactive, clanless bases as well (judging by your defence log), while claiming that you are some titan of farming.
Is barching even fun? HELL YEAH, IT'S FUN.
I pat myself on the back when I get 800k resources off an inactive town hall 10 and get enough gold to upgrade my x bow. why would I attack a town hall 6 that has no loot because of the loot penalty? You think farming is bullying? HARDLY. Farming is saving/looting enough resources to upgrade your village. If you think attacking a town hall 6 will earn any gold, you really are naive.
Did I ever say I hated clan wars? I came back to the bloody game because clan wars is FUN and I DO enjoy clan wars.
You think 3 starring people is all there is to the game? think again. Some people actually aren't as rich as you, can't afford to gem their barracks every day and are saving up for their next builder's hut. Don't go waving your big stick on a barch/farming thread when you know jack all about the friggin topic mate.

Them. Axl you seem to be missing the point - BARCH/BAM are arguably the most used strategies because they work for most people at the lowest cost.
Sounds like someone had a bad experience as a th6? Honestly, if you got 200 level 5 barch and just rolled your face over your device you would 3 star any th6. With a 50% loot penalty. So you wouldn't do it anyway.

Why all the hate on barching? I'm a th8 farming in C3-2 with no problem. Barch is easily the fastest and most efficient army next to bam. It is not nickel and diming unless you're in too low of a trophy range. If you do it right, you can 2-3 star almost all th7's, 1-2 star all th8's, 1 star most th9's, and 1-2 star poorly designed or under leveled th10's as a th8. No, it's not a roflstomp composition like hogs or dragons, but it is much cheaper and faster, and with enough skill, is nearly just as capable.

BArchig is great and takes no DE. Axl's army takes 1000 DE+ for every attach yet he only gets 300 DE or so in those attacks = not good.
Barched through TH7.
Barched through most of TH8 with hogs/giants/wizards or mass drag/rage every fourth or fifth attack after maxing out elixer storages.
As a relatively new TH9, with elixer being a scarce commodity again, it is Barch again. It is perhaps the most cost efficient method of raiding for resources. Can it get tedious? Yes. But with resources at a premium and too many upgrades to do, it is the most efficient way of getting the resources needed to get the upgrades done.
Clan: Adults!World | IGN: Nyralathotep | TH1| Lev. 2.04 | Max Trophies: 0.5303
GG: 2*10^(-6) | EE: 2*10^(-6)| HH: 2*10^(-6) | BK: neutered| AQ: drunk | GW: hairy legged | RC: unskinned
Its clear Axl is a tool. I make just as much as he does on raids at TH8, and gemming my barracks I have no more than 2-3 minute down time between raids. I made 14mil in resources last night alone while watching Game of Thrones at the same time.
BArch may be low skill level but it is certainly the most effective farming technique.
