DE lightning loot solution

Now I know that many complaints have been written on the subject and I'm sure some of you will write telling me that I should have posted this on one of those threads. Go ahead, but as you know the last post always goes to the end of the thread not the beginning.

The main concern is that many drop lightning spells solely on the DE storage or drills taking a lot of DE, a resource that as we all know is hard to come by, unless you use real money.
Which is the reason why we all place storages in the center of our towns.
I belive that SC will not fix this in the way that it has been suggested, ie. via hidden tesla near the storage or drill to deflect said spell. (not a great idea as this will make all of us place a telsa near these structures taking away the creativity that the game provides), Nor will they raise the amount of DE a drill can produce as this will cut into their pocket.
My solution is to place a cap on the amount of DE any number of spells can loot. Let's say 50DE. No matter how many spells one drops the amount will always be 50DE. The troops you deploy will have to loot the rest available DE.
In the last 6 days I have been raided for over 3k DE via lightning spells and troops but mainly spells. It pisses me off as I can't revenge them successfully to regain the amount stolen. As the rules of the game stand, its part of the game and I'm not complaining as I will wait for the right time when I can regain that which has been stolen.
I think I can live with -50 DE as apposed to 600+ from just spells. This I think will deter some from dropping spells solely on DE and actually focus on troop placement as the means to loot towns, as the game was intended.
Dont get me wrong I love the spells and will continue to use them as part of my attack. I think they are usefull and fun to drop.
This is only a suggestion to one of the most recent complaints.
BTW it does not have to be 50DE it can be any amount. I picked 50 only because my lv3 drill procures 45DE an hour. An amount easily recovered.

I think they should just create a new trap called the Lightning Rod. Place it next to buildings that get targeted by Lightning Spells a lot (storages, mortars, air defense) and it will soak up a certain amount of lightning damage before it goes away and has to be replaced.

If someone uses lightning to take your de, just use lightning to take someone else's de. Lol.

I do like both ideas though, cap the resources that can be taken from spells( to be fair you'd have to cap it for gold and elixer as well) and a lightning rod. Put one into the roof of ur th. would look cool. Protects surrounding buildings, say 8-10 spaces around th from lightning.

They lowered the cooking time of spells specifically so that we can lightning those DE storages, didn't you guys know?

Seriously though, what level of storage do you have? I'm thinking of rushing my DE storage to lessen the DE's stolen using this tactic, of course I know if it's near full no matter the level, a lot can still be stolen but I have other ways to combat that when I have lots of DE, for now they sit comfortably with medium defense since my current focus is on regular Elixir.

The guy figured out how to save 62 of his DE by upgrading his storage to lvl 3.

I don't know what is more painful: watching a level 3 DE Storage (same as mine) save less than 10% of the the 5% than can be looted from it, or not being able to hit mute right away to turn off the background music.

The painful music was purposely used to offset the pain of getting DE stolen. ;)
