Try this.
In most cases, people will go for your town hall. Instead of putting your TH in the middle of your base, but it on the outside of your base. Put it to where people can easily destroy it. You may be thinking, "what the hell then I lose trophies right?" You would be correct, however, 9 times out of 10 people will destroy your town hall and leave your gold and elixer alone. Also you get a 12 hour shield where people cannot attack you. This is perfect time to farm your way to the top. Go attack someone, steal their gold and elixer. They will obviously be pissed so they will revenge you. But when they come to your base and see your town hall on the outside of your base, they will most likely just attack that and not your gold. You really dont want to try and get high trophies. This does nothing because you face stronger people who will take your loot. I am lvl 96 and I like to stay right around gold III or 1300 trophies. I can reach 3000 trophies but I am trying to save loot so I can upgrade everything. Then once your base is strong, then go for trophies so you can get gems for reaching new trophie levels.
So sum this up do this:
-Put TH on outside of your base in a far corner
-Max gold and Elixer mines
-Attack when you can, but really absorb and use the 12 hour shield.
Make sense?
