Why do so many people fail to understand the concept of an RNG game, or confirmation bias? The game is not plotting against us. Sheesh. Stuff happens.

It seems to me that somebody needs to make sure their bases are adequately defended with moats. If you are inside such a base, you can definitely go AFK, and if an event happens, you only loose the opportunity of scoring some loot.

Which isn't to say that a pause feature wouldn't be handy.

Raids happen on a randomly determined schedule. The game cannot possibly know when you are about to quit. If your base isn't well-defended, then you loose the chests that you loose. IRL, it would be the full chests that got carted-off. If the game simulates that so much the better.

If Greydwarfs are your pet peeve, they are your pet peeve. They are not an objective fault of the game even if you YELL.
