2. I am not agree. It is right for most situations, but you still looking from leader's position.
If you not a leader or top-3 player, or more, "underdog", like me, every chance to get extra resourses or save some is very important.
Top and active players dont looting low expedition. It is logical, i do the same. Otherwise, 2 best expedition will be looted almost 100% (not, only if you will be very lucky).
Here is not a problem, if your expd looted by stronger player. More, if suddently weak player will loot your good expd, beating your weak army, it is not a problem too! Sure, 99% your good expd will be looted, no difference!

But last days weak players looted my low expd. And here is issue for me (and some other players too, i think).
If here is any way to defend low expd from weak players, it is useful.
How much it is important? Well, calculate.
I use first 3 expd up to 15-20 (!) times every day. Let the loot is 2 simple artefacts.
First expd cost 80k gold and give 6 art. Every art cost 13k gold minimum.
30 art per day, almost 400k gold equivalent is lost.
This summ still important even for me now, but i remember a time, when i was ready "to kill something" for this money

Even you dont use expd so often, it is your money, your resourses anyway.
More, when you use your expd to the maximum, it mean higher speed of your powerup, and you dont have other way to do it!
I mean: if i will defend my expd, and "you" - not, i will up my artefacts more quickly, and "you" cant compete in this.

Note: here is not some scary things to weak players - they still have a lot the same lowlevel expd, but will try to loot only "good" expd of strong players, with hope to be lucky. It is normally, and we saw before, it is not difference to looted players.

What we can do?
2 ways.
1. Use some trick, and use every time one, strong army.
2. Or powerup reserve team to defend expd anyway.

As shown a practice, one army dont working. Maybe 3 players will beaten, maybe 5, maybe more (we dont know results, only assume it with simple logic), but next will loot anyway, when random will use your weak team.
Second way mean some investment in your generals and gears. Sure, with time you will have reserve with "natural way" of playing. On these days i have reached the experience cap for my main generals (on current levels) and can make a second team little by little. Top players already have this team, others cant have yet. But anyway it is question for investment - how much you should spend, and what profit you can get.

I decided this issue for myself. I will make second team to protect my low expedition from weak players.
I know, this cant help to protect best expedition, but i can save many resourses.

P.S.: And sure, it is bad thing in the game, when some mechanics is misunderstunding to players so completely.
