Not really.

It's a little disappointing that Darian has avoided these threads including the biggest thread I've seen in awhile outside of update threads.
Why would there be allowed 4X war loot if you simply can’t hold the loot? I’m a maxed TH11 with maxed CC and I can only hold 3.6 million in my treasury. I won 6.5 million in war but it only lets me hold the max. I guess I shouldn’t complain but I had plans to push my final walls with it.
I mean, TBF, with the 3 million that you "lost," you couldn't have even purchased 1 wall. Yeah, getting that extra bit would have been nice, but I think we should be happy with a full treasury from completely empty after just 1 war. Not sure where else we're going to make 3.6 million gold/elixir and 17K DE in just 2 raids.
Some people can hold 4x if they are attacking low and/or if they lose the war, but I get your point. I suspect SC just didn’t think of it. I suspect they thought, “hey 2x loot is appreciated so let’s do 4x loot for the anniversary celebration”, without realizing it actually wasn’t going to give winners 4x and was going to irritate a lot of players. Then, once it became known for sure that the loot wasn’t allowed to overflow (when the first few wars finished after the event started and players noted it here), it was too late for SC to change it because then it would be different for some wars than the ones that had already started.
These are just my guesses.
Too late for them to do anything about it by then. If they reduced it to 2x people would have been complaining. And they couldn't rewrite both client and server ends for a mandatory update before the event started to allow it to store the loot.
They could have acknowledged it however, when people first pointed it out
I recall more of a question of will it overflow, but either way your point is a good one, they should have seen it. It may have been too late like Onyx said, but either way I also agree with him that they should’ve responded. People are very willing to forgive admitted mistakes.
I think they probably don't care that some people were not able to take advantage of the 4x loot. I have in my cc right now 2/1 books of spells because I got one from an event reward. If that was allowed to overfill then why not war loot?
Why aren't clan castle storage limits waived during 4X events?
An example; one of my TH8s got a war bonus of 3.11M gold, 3.11M elixir, and 12,384 DE, but the clan castle can only hold 1.68M of gold, 1.68M of elixir, and 8,400 DE!
I "lost" almost 50% of my 4X bonus!!!!!
Take this across my 10 bases in war and the numbers are huge.
