This is basically my point too. I probably would not have attacked the first example of the original post either because I try to give active players shields without stealing their loot. Most bases that have mostly empty collectors are owned by active players that would prefer to keep their loot (which is why their town hall is out). In the second example I probably would have attacked it even though they were only partially full. The problem with the post is that it is such a small sample size. Leave your base out for a week OP and show us the results. That will give us a good idea of just how many people don't bother to attack abandoned bases. Your base was never left alone long enough to even qualify as a abandoned base.
Very interesting maybe this is why I don't snipe? Nope if they have more then 200k it's a full raid.

Do you really believe that 300/300k inactive isn't an abandoned base? I know that I would attack that in a second, I wouldn't even second guess it. I guess this is why people say that loot is bad, because they only attack completely full collector raids and do not go for a petty 300/300k
This is why when I go inactive for 3 months my town hall will be inside and the collectors close to the walls. I only want high level farmers attacking me.

I'm terrified of lv3 Xbows. I won't even look at a base with them... Unless I snipe....
Wow.... 1.2m loot and yet all you have is snipers? Go inactive for full week and let me have a chance to raid you
I think the attitude of the snipers is wrong here. I snipe a lot, but with loot like that I would attack, even if I am playing on my TH7 or TH8 mini.
If you are in crystal one and you get a snipe, the league bonus will have already offset the cost of the barch army. So why not go all out and drop a few heals to get those collectors. With that loot, you shouldn't really be stingy about dropping spells.
My Suggestions:
Why should you max your collectors? Read here
