For those who are farming and want a free shield

[IDBGOD28]

Other than to troll lowbie noob snipers, TH trapping is really pretty dumb.

One, it defeats the purpose of a farming base (attackers will still likely take your TH, and those traps/teslas could be better served protecting your resources from inside your base). It also means you are spending extra gold rearming traps each and every defense, which you typically are trying to save while farming.

Two, it really pisses people off (instead of just giving you your free shield and moving on, making your attacker expend more troops makes it more worthwhile for them to raid your base entirely and take more).

Though it can be pretty funny for an occasional few laughs. Other than that though, pretty useless.

The only "pro" I can see really is if you have enough high lvl firepower protecting your TH it will thin out your enemies troops quite significantly and they will have less to use if they were to full on attack you for your storages.

Either way though you still will lose cups the majority of the time, so protecting an exposed TH really gains you nothing.

This is the only time I zap DE storage.
You trap your townhall, I zap your DE

They'll put traps next to their white flaged ths. Those liars.

I think the intent of the white flag is that the game would put it out, not the base owner. This would make it impossible to lie. I often would love to have this feature from both sides. Lots of times I'd love to have just a sniper come by and give me my 12 hours. Of course there are also times I'd love to just go in and find unprotected TH for sniping. Win-win.

Won't trap my th. But I will put it outside next to 2 archer towers, a cannon, and mortar, all within the walls of my base. Tired of people zapping my de. So if you want to zap, work for it a little at least.

Love to completely run over the rest of your base because I know there aren't any teslas or traps near your storages.

People will do whatever they want in this game. I laugh at th trappers because I only snipe when I have my CW army and if you have even somewhat decent loot your base will be flat after I see a tesla pop up next to your TH.

Completely agreed, th trappers can get wrecked by me, and the people who leave it unprotected I almost never go for the money.
I love when I get a free shield, but also th snipe with my king sometimes. Like someone said earlier, it's a win-win.

I really hate those players who put their th outside but also puts traps and hidden teslas near it.

Can we all have an agreement (for those who really want a free shield) to put white flags near our th to tell people that our WE want a free shield and players can take our townhall without dealing with traps near it?

LOL Dare to dream! Thanks for the chuckle, I'll smile about the "white flags" for awhile.

When I put few troops and this happen, I learnt to forgo the snipe and go for the resources. I will forgo the trophy win, as I am a farmer at this stage, I am not aiming for trophy push.
