Potential easy quick fix to loot problem...

The first thing we need to ask is do Supercell want to fix the seemingly loot shortage issue, lets not forget the more loot available its likely less Gems will be bought and the less money Supercell will make, I understand there will be a fine balance between no loot = no players and that has the same outcome as no gems being bought and no money being made, however I am still left with the same question which is, are all the suggestions/rants pointless because Supercell simply don't want a solution?

Ok so lets assume they do want to fix the problem, I am sure there are many many fixes for this but here is my solution which on the surface seems like it would work:

Make wall upgrades from elixir and not gold - I'm sure that would require very little dev work and would restore more of a balance between the need or want for elixir as gold?

Just a thought and like I say I am sure there are lots more solutions but that one is mine.

Thoughts?

As a TH9 sitting on full elixir storages for the past couple of months this idea certainly sounds good at first glance.

However in my opinion this would only result in tipping the scales too far in the opposite direction, creating an overall elixir shortage and making gold potentially too abundant.

Plus it would go against the recent statement form SC that gold is for defense and elixir for offence.

I agree with the posts above, as well as the fact that all the people who have spent so much gold on walls would be extremely annoyed.

The quick fix is gem boosts money makes the world turn...if sc wanted they could flip it back to how it used to be but no money in that for them...:rolleyes:

If elixir is for offence, why do we get charged gold for searching? I feel this minor switch could help in the long run, however, mines still need to be upgraded to 12/13.

If elixir is for offense, why are x-bows loaded with elixir for defense?

I do agree that a good switch is changing search costs to elixir.

Shhhh, we will keep that one on the down low ;)

The simple fix is increasing storage capacity or adding an additional storage unit. If a base has more to steal then you make more. Everyone happy.....except for the guy you just stole from, but screw'm he just stole from someone too!

The loot change just made it so more resources were available, it doesn't make up for the lack of resources being created.
