I'm about to head to bed, but this just struck me as odd...
Your first post, that you've since edited, makes it abundantly clear that you are frustrated with sitters, don't like it when they close gates, and feel that doing so means they don't "lose" anything.
Correction: If they have no wall or no resources, they don't lose anything.
If you take out a wall because of a large hit, that takes multiple days to recover from.
The ability to toggle the gate is a core game mechanic. Honestly, if you want to take that ability away or provide an item to override it, that, again, is going to more negatively impact those of us playing honest and/or not coining.
It's my opinion that your main complaint still has a root cause of an account having someone on it near 24x7. You bemoan the ability to move things out, which are legitimate tactics per the game mechanics, but you don't want to be attacking an offline person? You want someone to be online, but not employ strategy to try to keep from losing their troops (and possible reinforcements) by closing the gate, which equates to a judgement call of strategy?
Sounds like you're wanting your proverbial cake and being able to eat it too. Maybe if you'd describe your situation better, here or in PM, maybe I'd be able to understand better...
Goodnight...
