I used to think along the same lines but I'm currently on my first real serious trophy push (around 3,580ish at the mo). I'm desperately trying to keep losses to 1 star and also trying to ride out every shield as much as possible. The thought of someone battering me every 6 hours instead of 12 scares the beegeebers out of me!I'm only 1 starring people every 45 to 60 minutes for 8 to 12 cups. This would pretty much stop me progressing, even with a solid 5 or 6 hour session each day.It's only farmers that like to keep THs outside to protect loot. I'm all for making more loot available if this is lost, thus forcing people to protect it more and being available for attacks longer in matchmaking.It should not be right for a TH7 or lower to get into Masters League.
