Usually I make time for Clash (Especially because Im a Co-Leader). But quite frankly, I see your point, but I also think that you need to just make a farming base and suck it up. If they are more tempted/lazy to get the cups over the loot, then you have a "Win-Win" situation. You get your shield, and they get their loot bonus/cups.
Or 2, if they take your loot.......Actually dont let that happen in the first place. Good clans always like to see th8 with lvl 8 walls, so invest the Gold into walls. You dont need to accumulate more than 600k gold per wall (keep 100k for searching), and so other attackers wont attack you either because of your low gold. I myself only recruit th8 that have more than 50% of skulls done. Later on, do the defenses if/when you do accumulate enough from War+Storages. As for Dark Elixir, I myself as a th9 loves to pick off easy th8. But I always make sure to stay away from difficult and lvl 8 walls th8. Though my heroes are 10/15, walls may be intimidating for many th9 as they slow your attack up and give your Wizard Towers/Mortars a chance to kill the Barch/GiBarch attack. Another thing for DE is create a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DE protecting base! They help a lot and though they may sacrifice some Gold/Elixir, its worth it as they are valuable. Ill create a little agenda of what you should do and what the results are:
Cause
Level up your walls to lvl8, they are extremely intimidating and make th9 attackers back off:
Result:
You lose less DE because th9 dont want to attack a base like that
The walls make you look impressive and accepted into a variety of better clans
The walls slow any attack down and in any case will make the attacker difficult and question whether it was a good idea to attack the base, which also goes into my main sentence ^^.
You lose less loot in general
Cause:
You lose less DE because th9 dont want to attack a base of your caliber:
Result:
Your Barbarian King and Dark troops go up
Cause:
You retain more Elixir and Gold
Result:
You upgrade your defenses and troops
Cause:
Your Barbarian King and Dark troops go up
Result:
You are accepted into a variety of better war clans/farming clans
You are more respected
You can take on more th8s and three star them
You see? Doing walls opens up a lot of positive paths for you to explore. Although they may be tedious and difficult, only the best clans recruit taking into consideration walls. I myself had a very passionate hatred towards walls, but its changed after a few months of warring and playing clash seriously. So, I hope Ive helped you, but if you have learned nothing at all, DO WALLS! Oh, You might want to switch clans if you are donating x3 more than the people around you....
PS...... 200th post! (Sounds lame :/)

Pretty soon, I'm going to have no reason to get store a lot of a Dark Elixir, since I'm surprisingly close to getting enough DE for a lvl 10 King, and can't level up any more after that. Hogs lvl3 are being done in the lab now, because I had to dump DE or get attacked again, and the last thing in the lab is minions.
), and even then, I have a base that is wall breaker resistant, requiring 3-4 waves to bust the center, as they go after less useful T joints. Even a WB dump that somehow goes towards the middle section, rather than WB luring corners, will trip traps and off the little bone heads. 
), or just leave and join another, or make a new one, taking half or more of the good people with me. Thankfully for the leader, I'm not the power grabbing type, but then again, I guess that's why I'm also well liked.
