"Low Trophy Farming" is a huge load of BS. I spent about 30 mins dropping from 1500 down to 150 trophies, to get within the trophy range reccomended for "Low Trophy Farming." The idea is that villages with under 200 trophies are likely abandoned, and as a result have full mines ready to be attacked with just a small number of troops. I'm not sure how this works with lower TH levels (maybe it does) but at TH level 9, this strategy is completely useless. As I got to around <400 trophies, villages mostly had <2000 of each resource, and were very low TH level. Once I was under 200 trophies, the only villages that I'm matched with are TH level 7+ with heavily guarded storages and empty mines. I have been flipping through villages and I haven't seen a single abandoned village. More like very well-maintained high level villages that would kick my ass if I tried to attack. Basically my point is there is absolutely no way you could collect 1M gold and elixer per hour as the guide suggests. You're far better off training a big-ass powerful army and going for all out destruction on bases with 200k + resources around 1100-1300 trophies.
