Change outside town hall to give no stars

[magnor]

You are all missing the point. I am not proposing to ruin farming. I am proposing to ruin sniping. There is a major difference.
My proposed change WOULD INCREASE THE ABILITY TO RAID FOR RESOURCES. Not decrease it. Dont be so narrow minded and think about what I am proposing here.
Removing 1 star from town halls, and replace it with resources, would dramatically reduce the number of shields active. Giving you BETTER targets, not worse.
I am TH9, not far from going to TH10. I am frustrated that I have to sit there hitting Next 50+ times to find a decent target. You know decent targets, those are the ones where by raiding them, and succeeding, will actually give you more elixer than what you spent to raid them. And before you go ranting about efficient attacks, yes I know how to do efficient attacks.

Are you not missing the point that for farming, getting the shield to protect your loot IS THE POINT of putting your town hall outside. Farmers don't care about the trophies lost to TH snipers. We're giving those trophies to them. I finished maxing my base but I would have found it so annoying to have found all that loot only to be attacked multiple times while I'm not on. It is ruining a key aspect of farming.

I still don't really understand why this would kill farming. It would hurt a bit because you can't get easy shields but you can also get easy loot from other people, especially in this bad loot recession that people keep posting about

It's also a tad silly for the town hall claiming to be 'the heart of your village' when it's something that you want destroyed

Am I playing this game the wrong way? What is this LOOT RECESSION that people are talking about? From th7 up to th10 I have at no stage found it difficult (for more than a day or two in a row) to find raids yielding between 180-300k of each resource.
When players in my clan complain about no loot, I generally look at their range. Usually they are about 200-300 trophies too low. I simply tell them to push up 100 trophies and try for a few days, if there's no success push up a 100 more, and so on. The loot is there, but it's not going to jump into your hand. This isn't fishing with dynamite. Go and look for it!

You're missing the point that he's not talking about trophies. In the post you quoted, he never even said the word 'trophy'. The only reason he said that word is because he's describing the current situation of TH dead = trophy loss. If TH = dead = no star but still have a loss of trophy, I doubt that Growls would care. You're avoiding the fact that even if you lose resource, you can get resource easier too which was the main point of the post (it's even in caps lock). Yeah he's not really talking about the part of losing resources due to harder shields so I guess everyone is ignoring what the other guy is saying and attacking the straw man or something like that

Edit:

Oh I don't know... maybe it's this 68 page thread that was mega merged from tens of different threads that's been popping up after the gem boost event?

Oh my god you don't understand. Farmers need snipers. Farmers us those sheilds to keep their stuff safe, and snipers need those th's so they can stay up in the ranks, it is a win win situation there. If you are annoyed suck it up, we can't all be happy, go do farming and max your base then go raiding. You also shouldn't be low on elixir. And trust me I use an all drag raid at th lvl 8 and I have 400k spare elixir after every day. So just leave things the way they are.

[fette]

thats an awful idea OP.

Why you hating on the snipers so much? As some ppl have already explained th sniping is a mutual win win for both sides.

by your reckoning, instead of getting a shield the person with th out would lose resource instead...no shield. so overnight they'd get attacked a bunch of times and wake up to a massive resource loss ... I somehow fail to see how this is better than having to hit the next button 100x.

This is horrible and i hope will never happen...

This idea is hilarious.

Idc about trophy loss either. I mentioned trophy loss because he's saying TH=dead= no star gained. Now unless I'm mistaken NO star gained=no win=no trophy loss=no shield. They all go together. I don't care about trophies either. I care about the shield. He did mention in the post I quoted that his idea meant fewer shielded bases. Quote "Removing one star from town hall, and replace with resources, would dramatically reduce the number of shields active."

I think the majority of people disagreeing with his idea are basically saying, "We'd rather keep the shields over having more loot able bases." That's what Im saying anyway.

Thanks for link to this lovely 68-page thread. Am I surprised it exists? No. People always complain about there being no loot after gem boost event. It's not so much that there's no loot. It's just they thought the gold rush created by the gem boost event would last forever and that's naive. I was talking about what I've experienced in the game, not the forums. Yes there are peaks, just as there are troughs. When there are peaks, people spend, using up the resources, thus creating troughs. That's the nature of economics. But it always comes back.

I don't want this to be changed in the game. It would ruin it.

[Lucas10]

NONONO
So farmers like me have to have a trophy base now? Would it be 2 stars instead of 3 stars now? The reason farmers have THs outside is it will give them a free shield, protect their resources and drop their trohies, for the trophy pushers, it gives them trophies, in the end, everyone is happy. I don't want my TH containing that much loot, this idea will totally ruin farming
