**urgent** supercell please take note !
ever since the last update there is no more elixer available. it wasn't that plentiful to begin with.. I had a stockpile of over 4 million and before the raids would pay for themselves.. now my stockpile is down to 2 million. only way I can recover this is to farm and boost my collectors.. it means I don't raid as often, since I can't raid as often i lose intreats in the game. also a lot less players can afford to go to war (war win bonus rarely covers war costs) please get rid of this option that is killing this great game ! especially now that there are other competitiors offering very similar games !!!
please we if other players read this and share my concern please reply. supercell has to fix this ASAP.
CoC has become Non-Playable
I totally agreed. Was hoping for some elixir upgrade, but not only raiding loots had disappeared, the raiders had become more desparate.
Cant save from raiding, can't save from collectors, so I joined the wave as well, spent all whatever gold and elixir I could gather during shield on wall and go to sleep.
I don't log in as often now. In fact I had so much time to do other things now. All thanks to "elixir for wall".
I had told my clan to stop war as it was not sustainable.
With the rate it goes now, I think I might quit the game in a week or two.
Why "elixir for wall" is a threat to CoC, and some solutions to reverse it effect
This update resulted in 2 contradictory outcomes.
A- reduced heroes recovery time, higher level Barch, new dark troop, allows and makes effective regular raiding easier.
B- "elixir for wall upgrade" resulting super low available loot, which discourage raiding.
When I first read the update about "elixir for wall", my first thought was raiding will be difficult. But I was wrong, it was indeed IMPOSSIBLE.
- Raiding was the main success component for CoC, the others such as defense and troop upgrade, war, trophy etc are the by product of raiding.
- "Elixir for wall" allows players to dump excess elixir into walls, as low loots is the best defense.
- When incentive for regular raid was removed, and saving throught raiding becomes non economical, players will rely on collectors and keep shield as long as possible, as raiders had becomes so much more desparate.
- Without regular raiding, upgrade and war affair will suffer, playability of CoC will be affected.
- But collection from collectors alone will not be sufficient for upgrades during each TH level, gem becomes the only reliable currency for upgrading.
- When gems becomes the only way for upgradings, CoC is a dying game.
The consequences from "elixir for wall" may not be intended, but it is the factor that threaten the playability of CoC. It will be sensible for Supercell to urgently reverse this effect ASAP, before it turns from worst to non-reversible.
Some of the ways could be:
- Dramatically tweak the normal raiding win bonus, as well as war bonus (both win and loss), or
- Double or triple the cost for "elixir for wall", or
- Elimination of "elixir for wall", or
- Others that you might have think of.
The earliest Supercell could rectify it, the better chance it can retain its currently die hard players.
already logging on less and less

thanks to the update I find myself not on as much. I find my self being content with simply putting my TH outside so I can get a free shield.. it's the only way I can recover loot. I find fewer and fewer of my friends logging on to. a clan of 40 and fewer and fewer people participate in chat anymore. went from back to back wars to war maybe once a week and having memeber still jump out before war search because they don't have the resourses to train their war army.. it's a simple remedy. ONLY BUT WALL UPGRADES WITH GOLD. or make the walls cheaper. half a million for one level 8 wall segment is ridiculous.
