Maybe I should have clarified what I ment. I don't like using the market tactic because I always build massive amounts of troops and, more importantly, the maximum amount of fortifications. The market tactic would require me to write off those fortifications and my gold. That's a lot of time and resources lost, when all I had to do was leave my gates open. I never lose nearly as much in time and resources by fighting all out then with the market tactic. I do, however, tell my alliance members to use the market tactic IF they haven't built up proper fortifications.
