Thoughts on how to make the elix flow again.

After reading through the update feedback thread I see some people that have come to the same conclusion as I. There's little loot and very little elixir to be found. This might be a balancing thing and might get better as we go along but I had some thoughts on how to still keep elixir in peoples storages but still have the posibility to use it for walls and have a functioning in game economy.
Simply make it so that you can't use elixir for walls if you by upgrading a wall end up under the storage cap, or any fixed amount that SC think fits. This would mean that we would probably see more elix than we do now from active users due to the fact that they will keep a large amount in their storages at all time to make sure they can upgrade walls using elix. Sure people could just upgrade a wall and then spend the remaining elix on something else but overall some users would have 2,9 million (th9) in storages at all time, me included.
This is just an idea and might even have been brought up by someone else but I think this would work great... What are your thoughts on this idea, could this work and would you like to see this implemanted in the game?

I am finding plenty of elixir and dark elixir, as usual it seems to be gold that is the hardest to find, for me at least

This is not meant to be a loot complaint thread and I probably should have left that out, I need to change my range. It's just that I see less elixir in farmers storages. I have 500k right now and used to have 8 mill at all time and from what i can tell I'm not the only one. My idea would fix that i think.

No, just no.

The whole point of currency is to be able to spend it, not a " well,you can only spend currency if you are in possession of 5x the amount needed to actually buy this." (I know you didn't say 5x, just an example)

If I go to the store, I don't need to show the cashier a $50 bill before I can use a ten.

This would be confusing and counterintuitive. It would additionally negate the entire point of letting you spend elixir on walls

I'm not trying to complain about loot, I'm merely disagreeing with your conclusion.

It should not be the same price to upgrade walls with elixer considering it it technically a defensive item. I think 1.5 timez gold rate should do. In addition they could raise the elixer collector rate or make the elixer based troops and spells cheaper. My whole clan is running at about 25% of the normal elixer storage and we didnt even upgrade walls with elixer. Not cool supercell! Oh and if I can build walls with elixer y cant I build troops with gold lol

So you used the new feature to dump your elixir and instead of having self control, your solution is a mandatory storage minimum?

if there going to do something that extreme, they might as well revert the change instead.

Being part if the problem doesn't help either.

Of cource i did. I have nothing but dark barracks and walls left to spend elixir on. This game has had an overflow of elixir for a long time and right now i see no point in sitting on millions. And no. i said you can't upgrade a wall if you fall below a certain amount by doing so, big difference. You are free to spend anything below this on whatever you want. The whole point of the idea is to try and keep a minimum amount elixir in every wall farmers storages.

Why would a wall farmer want to do that? To make it easier for you to steal it from them? Bunch of great guys those wall farmers are...
