Yeah, well, the idea is to make sure your defenses (from the inside of the walls) can attack anybody who is attacking the mines/collectors (which are outside the walls, but very close to the walls). This way, you make them pay for every point of damage they deal to the buildings you left outside the walls. And if they're trying to 3 star /2 star you, this will make sure you bring down as many enemy troops as possible before they breach your walls. And if you're at the level where you've got a lvl 11 elixer collector, 50000 elixer will hurt, but it won't be a major loss.
