I find players do it because they either:
a) Like trolling players and watching epic failure attempts at taking a hall.
b) Damage control, force a player to deplete their army making it harder to steal loot as well.
c) Don't really want a free shield, and can actually help them make trophies. Deception is one of the best way to increase trophies.
As a TH10 with max troops though, if I find one; especially a TH9 trapper with loot...oh boy look out you're losing every single storage.![]()
I use 2 zappers to trap. They can get the TH if they sit the shooter in the square in the dead corner. Its to make them pay a small bit and the other 2 zappers I used to split the army of blockers if they go in for a real attack. The 2 zappers are a small snipping tax. People taking the TH as a free win on the way to my storage made me trap.
I will take a town hall if I find one and will not attack the base but if the town hall is trapped I will attack the base then record it and show it on YouTube.

I think the reason you made this thread is you lost alot of trophies to a trapped th9 haha. Like mine for example. Keep raging .
When I am attacking, I will always have my full army.
While "nexting" for a village to attack, if I stumble across an exposed Town Hall, I will snipe it for the win.
If this Town Hall that I snipe for the win is trapped, I will proceed to follow up with a full attack on the rest of the village.
Every time.
