Protected resource at expense of other 2

I know many at TH10, myself included, have felt a resource squeeze lately. What if you could protect one resource, making less available when attacked?

You designate one resource as protected, making a greater percentage unavailable to attackers. At the same time, your other resources become more vulnerable. The available resources could also factor into the equation to prevent people from abusing the system. Example: you can't protect more gold if you don't have enough elixir and dark elixir to make up the difference.

This will allow attacking for a specific resource, will ensuring you don't lose more than you earn. Example:

I designate elixir as protected. Instead of 20/50 percent being available, now only 10/25 can be raided but my gold and dark elixir are now available at a fair value higher.

If I find a base with 250k elixir, after subtracting my arm cost, I earn 100k elixir. While my army trains, I grab a coke confident that since elixir is protected, I won't actually lose ground when I get attacked.

What about the people currently dumping all their gold/elixir into walls (like myself). I could designate DE to be "protected" and never have ANY loot showing for attackers

That is why you can only protect a resource if you have enough of the other two to cover the difference.

I'll use gold and elixir junky since DE is such a different scale. I have 1 million gold in my storage (200k available). When I protect gold, making only 100k available, I will need at least 300k elixir to cover. The ratios can be worked by supercell.

this could seriously mess up the entire economy of clash if everyone were to designate the same resource (i.e. Dark Elixir) as protected and then there would be a huge crash in the amount of dark elixir available for everyone. on the other hand if you dont care about dark elixir and your going after the other resources this would be great for you.

If gold becomes more plentiful, then theoretically more people would work on upgrading the next cannon... That seems more likely than everyone protecting the same resource.
