    And that is what EVERYONE should do. Higher lvls = more income.

    TH12 - lvl206 - 298k FIN - Oct2012 - 12 Okt + 3 mos
    Gold Grab - 2bn
    Elixir Escapade - 2bn
    Heroic Heist - 23.97m +3,52

    It keeps the economy flowing which is the real irony of people saying 'Don't bother, just raid for it' and also you will be surprised how quickly you max them and then just forget about them and move onto the rest of your base.
    They may not be sexy upgrades but do em and forget em.

    Summed it up perfectly.

    Whether lazy farmers or not, my mini TH10 with 3x maxed DE drills, I manage to upgrade to AQ20/BK20 so far. But to all honesty, it is an idle account for 1 year.

    Imagine the DE collected for 2x 20 levels. HH is <50k only though.
    15-Jul-2014 : TH9 [112 Skull, 113 purple crystal] [26-Dec-2013 : Start CoC]
    19-Oct-2014 : TH9 [80 Lego, 170 Skull]
    28-Dec-2014 : TH9 (49 Lava, 192 Lego, 9 Skull) 7 days till TH10 complete.
    04-Apr-2015 : TH10 (10 Zap, 106 Lava, 134 Lego) GG868M EE741M HH2479k AQ29/BK22
    19-Oct-2015 : TH10 (68 Magma, 200 Lava, 7 Lego) GG1033M EE910M HH4087k AQ40/BK39.5

    Army camps are more important

    In my opinion, you should first upgrade your army camp. 20 more army is so important in clan wars. after that its good idea you can upgrade them. you need lot of dark elixir in town hall 9.

    As a TH 9 with 2 lvl 6 d.e. drills, you get 4.8K d.e. daily with no effort.
    As a TH 10 with 3 lvl 6 d.e. drills, you get 7.2K d.e.
    .
    Let us say that you will build your king and queen's altars at th 9 and upgrade them to lvl 30 at the same time non-stop:
    Total upgrade time from lvl 1 to 30 is 157.5 days
    157.5 days*4.8K = 756K d.e. produced passively.

    Now, you will upgrade your th to lvl 10
    total upgrade time from lvl 31 to 40 is 70 days
    70 days*7.2K = 504K d.e.

    (all this if you upgrade both of your heroes at the same time all the time)

    > 'Don't bother, just raid for it'

    There are no good collector raids, if nobody upgrades their damn collectors!

    Also, people seem to quit the game because loot for upgrades is hard to come by.

    I would recommend going for the upgrade as others have said it's free money. Plus if you get busy irl or have a bad farming week it all helps with little effort.
