i have never zapped.
Never!
cuz i did have a premature th tough but lol :) i did revenge a guy and zapped him but it was at the end :) of the game
like i had 40 balloons that guy took me 300 d.e
revenged him i got 236 back but i needed to empty out my spelll and the alst one remaning was the lighining so before my ballons took out hes d.e i trew a lighning spell .
its like a slap on hes face.
Ok I admit it! I zapped for BK at th 7 then got tired if DE 'farming' and spent $3 to buy the rest of the DE needed
When I used to carry lightning spells more often I'd for sure drop them on a DE storage if the guy had his TH outside. I kept on being revenged for more than I zapped so I stopped. In fact, I just stopped attacking TH9's in general, even to be nice and give a free shield. All I get in return is 2k De, 270k Gold, and 270k Elixir gone from my storages with no chance to defend.
Honestly though, you can get twice the DE with Rage than you can with Lightning, it just requires more skill than rolling your face on your iPad.
I always carry lightning spells just in case......
if you're not zapping, you're not trying, come on guys are you still not over it, it's been a year and we still can't accept this?
If it works, why not?
I'm a TH10, and another TH10 zapped my DE with 5 lvl 6 lightning spells. His defenses are maxed, and his heroic heist was almost 3 million, if not 3 million by now. I got a bit irritated, knowing I can't do much damage to his base, but apparently, he is a much better DE farmer than me, so I can respect that.
The general connotation of zapping is negative.
We all like to zap DE, because it's the easy way to get it and requires no skill or spine. However, most of us like to play the fair way and get resources using troops. Planning a battle and training troops is much more fun than dropping a few lightning spells to get a few hundred dark elixir.
When you look at statistics, you'll always get more DE by going in with ground troops than you will by zapping. Troops will completely destroy whereas a lightning spell only takes part of the damage, and thus the resources.
I've zapped before. Once or twice, but it's boring and cowardly. (This is coming from someone who has zapped, remember). I soon found myself disappointed and bored, because I missed the fun of a good fight.
BOTTOM LINE:
Everyone likes to zap. It's an easy and assured way to get DE.
Most people like a good fight. Lots of people don't zap because it's cowardly and boring, as opposed to a good fight with actual troops. (For those of you who have become so obsessed with zapping that you've forgotten what troops are, you train them in the barracks and they take up space in your army camps. (I hope no one here has forgotten...))
I used to zap. I don't anymore. (Actually, if someone zaps me, I'll zap them back before deploying troops.)
