An education to people who trap their townhall

[lomenop]

This is what people are hoping for when they put their town hall out side. I will come along, use a few troops get a few trophies and walk away with my win bonus. You will get to keep all your loot and get a lovely 12 hour shield.

Not everyone is like you, so this isn't always the case. Some people see the free TH and get greedy/become more opportunistic. That is, they see the sure win and will try to take the loot as well and/or 2 stars. I suspect this is why people trap their TH at times, just so it throws people off and that may mean less troops to go after the loot/50%.

I am all for moderate trapping to mess up these ridiculous th3 and th4s that snipe up to 4k cups. Seriously get a better hobby.....any fool can stare at clouds all day and snipe bases.

They do not snipe. Watch some Pelican Tacos older vids after the last update

My favorite is leaving 2x2 gaps around my TH untrapped.

Only problem with this is that many people will pass on your base since they think it "might" be trapped. Then a real attacker may come along and go for the whole base.

Mine is in the corner surrounded by decorations.

Very interesting replies, thanks for that. I never really understood what was in it for the defender. They always lose gold from rearming their bombs and the point was to save money when farming. Some points made I hadn't considered.

i dont get why th traps are hated on so much but troll bases are considered devilishly clever. It's the same idea, get some idiot to waste their army on what they thought would be an easy win. All this "you put ur th out to get a free shield why make it harder to get?" assumes the wrong thing.

btw I DO want a free shield, so I do not th trap

Some trappers do it for fun. They want to see a sniper failing like when a sniper just brings 20 archers, no spell, no hero....

People Trap their TH's for a variety of reasons. I just play my own game and move on. I will play the game and drop the extra troops to take the TH and the bonus that goes with it but I make sure I takes everything else I can get.

If they wanted a shield, they wouldn't trap their townhall. They do it for fun and amusement, quit complaining about it and have fun losing trophies.

If a TH4 is doing that... hell, why do you even need collectors? Max your storages with 1 measly attack - good strat!

There has been so many threads on this it makes you think trapping works. If it didn't people wouldn't keep trapping.

Unbreakable. One of the toughest achievements in the game, certainly in terms of time to get. Best way to get it done is to 'invite' the opposition in for an easy raid. There are plenty, like me who use king and Queen for sniping while the rest of the army is cooking. This means if I meet a trap they will get some trophies and a point towards unbreakable. Does it bother me? Nope. When farming I am after loot and don't care about trophies. I can go up and down trophies and leagues at will.
