Stop calling it milking

[nerf713]

No it doesn't. Firstly it can be done in higher leagues too. Secondly, it has been done since 2013/2013, and there are some really prolific old YouTubers that made videos on doing the exact same thing. It's not new.

Link to the videos?

You're just embarrassing yourself at this point. Tell your clanmates "hey guys I did some milking today" and they'll all laugh at you. This strategy has been in the game forever, it's just collector raiding (not dead bases there's a difference) and some guy decided to rename it to take all the fame. Ty now stop embarrassing yourself thanks.

If my clan was still playing they would laugh at me for even attempting to call 'milking' farming.

Why not call it milking? It's an apt metaphor for squeezing a tiny amount of resources from a large number of bases (teats) over a short period of time. It's actually a much better term than farming, which is too generic in nature. So get a life bud. Just because a term doesn't appeal to you, doesn't make it wrong.

Can't be bothered to find a video for you but that describes what you're doing within the umbrella of farming. It includes loot as small as 30k. And the guide is so old its from when there was graphical glitches on full collectors.

Yes you are, and your Farming strategy is Milking.

So when I hit collectors with barch, it's "farming." But when I hit collectors with goblins, it's called "milking."?

I agree. I don't know who came up with the idea of calling collector raiding milking but whoever did, to you. But I think your too late, the term milking has already spread throughout the clash community or at least the forum community too much already. I'm pretty sure it's almost already the official term so it looks like your gonna have to get used to it.

And if you farm with long cook time troops its called baking.
And if you next patiently for full collectors only it's fishing.

According to the OED, to milk (2nd definition, of course) means:

"Exploit or defraud (someone), typically by taking regular small amounts of money over a period of time"

Seems like a perfect term to use.
