Should SC do something about open Town Halls?

[anarchy86]

Definitely one of the biggest flaw in the game.

While cheap shielding at the top of the leaderboards had been reduced to almost zero, farmer shields that allows loot monopoly remains.

Without this exploit I'm sure that none of the self-proclaimed hardcore farmer have walls anywhere near the levels that they have now.

Of course they wouldn't, they would be forced to spend thousands to upgrade they're base and would probably not be able to play. Luckily supercell has the brains to realise that making strong bases only available to the minority of players who can afford to pay for it would be a terrible business decision.

you guys realize that th on outside is a guarantee of nothing right? when i come across one, i think, ok. this is gonna be an easy two stars.

a decent attacker can almost always achieve 50%. if its anyone's fault, its the community's fault for not making these people pay for leaving it unprotected.

if everyone started punishing them, I bet this wouldn't be such a prominent thing.

[matthewe]

No, there's nothing wrong with it.

the point of the game should be to defend your base as best you can, the fact that majority of players play with THs outside proves its a loophole that should be closed

It was closed, in Boom Beach, perhaps you will be happier over there?

You sir sound jealous. Instead of complaining, join the team. If someone wants an easy 7 trophies, I am offering. In exchange, I ask them to leave my loot alone, if they don't, I will revenge them and take back whats mine plus some.

This is what is dubbed 'smart farming' and it has been adopted by hundreds of thousands of players.

The game is close to unplayable now for the casual player. This proposed change would make it completely unplayable.

I would be done immediately.

[ChiefThomas]

Then raid in the morning or right before you go to bed if you want a lot of loot or just drop maybe 50k until you find a unactive its not that hard.

I didn't complain about loot. I said it would help make loot more available. However, that's an easy statement to make when you're TH 8.

Any evidence or forethought?

If 90% of bases weren't on shield 24/7, it would make a LOT more bases available for looting on offense. Including yours, yes, but I guarentee it wouldn't take you 30 nexts to find a base that has more than the loot you lost on one defensive raid.

[fre3dom]

it actually also works the other way round you know...
TH outside -> easy win -> get league bonus
More TH outside -> more loot generated

the bonus loot just from sniping TH in crystal or master is really high when there's no loot available... imagine if all people start leaving their TH outside... we won't see loot problem anymore

[Pete82]

Yes, I think the game design is broken. Rather than do something about THs outside, I would rather see real economic incentives for gaining and maintaining trophies. I think collector output should substantially increase in higher leagues.
