I am a th 8 and have maxed everything except the hidden teslas and the walls. I have already upgraded all the elixer troops in the laboratory. So my elixer storage is always full and i think coc should make some updates that level 8 walls can be upgraded my elixer like the level 9 walls. Thank you.
SuperCell did allow TH8 to upgrade walls with Elixir when they first brought that feature to the game, but they decided it was best for higher level walls as it was messing with the loot economic at that Town Hall.
For lvl 7 to 8 wall cost is only 250 000 gold
I have 3 storages full of elixir at TH 8 (my mini) and I am helpless... I can't use it anywhere.
The only army i use is full army camps of goblins + 3 heals
Gold farming is quite difficult with this army. dead bases provide loot at cost of trophies. If you drop too many trophies, you don't get any loot.
250 000 is a very decent amount that is present almost everytime in anyone's storages at TH 7 and above. If elixir and gold both can be used for this low amount, loot will die in Clash. It will cause imbalance in loot economy.
They tried this once, back when level 8 walls cost 500k, and it completely destroyed the economy. Your full elixir storages feed new TH9s that aren't ready to face X-Bows and other 9s yet (just as they'll feed you once you upgrade), and they form the base of the economy for everyone higher. Leaving less than 250k in your storages offers less than 25k BEFORE the penalty. Would you raid if the only bases you could hit offered next to nothing?
