There were no DE or heroes when spells were introduced. As gold and elixir are spread out between multible storages, lighting them is ineffective. So the OP is correct, lightning clearly wasnt made to steal resources.Quote:

What i realize is that most of the people who complain about this are high level players in the lower leagues. They shouldn't be there in the first place. They take advantage of lower leveled players but when are hit back with the only spell that could hurt them they complain.
Raise your trophy count to 1500+ and you will barely see a th7 that will lightning your DE. Battle with the proper league for your level and it will solve your problem
If they implemented De from lightning spells then there would be almost no way to get barb. King in town hall 7,and if people lightning your storage then revenge and 3 star em. I don't use lightning spells I attack for real. If you are a town hall 8/9/10 stop complaining and upgrade your drill. 3 drills maxed will get you about 3000 every night so upgrade town hall if you really hate people lightning your de storage.
It's bulls$#% that spells can steal so much dark elixar. Has to be a way to protect it given how hard it is to generate and how easy to steal so much!
I got my king in less than a day, no lightning spells at TH level 7. You can whine all you want of how there's no other way for you to get DE. You are bad, and I have been able to steal from level 9 town halls and xbow defended bases for DE since forever. Cause you are bad is no reason to leave some stupid exploit in. I'll live with it, I have and I still am decent at making DE, but it's obnoxious. Have a good one.
de storage already had hitpoints increased to counter this stop been mardy and spend your de
It's not the only way to get dark elixir, go to 1600s and snipe max de drills from inactive bases. It took me less than 3 days to get my king. Now i'm a th9, and people lightining my de are very annoying. The problem with it is that they just drop the spells and surrender leaving you no shield what so ever. The most i got zapped was 5 times in a row and lost over 4000 dark elixir in one night. I think that supercell should adjust the amount of dark elixir that can be stolen by lightning spells, like cut the amount in half or give you a shield everythme a lightning spell touches your dark elixir storage.Quote:

Right now, the best I could think of is offering out 1 or 2 of my gold storages for a shield.
I did not see this post before posting mine, but one with suggestions and polls:

Please don't bump old threads, it's over a year old. Also,the lightning spell does damage to other buildings so if damage is done to a resource building, resources will be stolen. If this is change, it wouldn't make sense.
Firstly, 1500 cups is not "high" and plenty of TH 8 are "ZAPPERS". second, I am TH 10 and came down to lower league to build up defense and heroes.. The Archer Queen takes 70,000DE to go from 13 to 14 and that takes alot of savings, yes the DE drill puts out quite a bit but at higher level it will get taken by much higher guys that actually raid using troops not lightning. So as a safe place to WORK on defenses is lower level than your drills will be effective. I assume you are TH7 so let me ask you when was the last time you were attacked by TH10 for your loot ? Answer NEVER due to penalty even if you were fully maxed out on loot it's not worth it. So your point saying we don't belong in lower level is baseless. You know as well as I that to steal loot by means of dropping spells is chickensh*t if you don't than Supercell should allow during revenge only no penalty and allow me to come get my loot back and you should take no issue with that. All in "fairness"Quote:
