every time this thread comes back up, all I hear is more whining than a soccer player. It's like listening to Charlie Brown's teacher all day. wah wah wah or WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Quick someone call the WAH-MBULANCE!!! Just punish the idiot zappers by annihilating their base or move on. zappers zap, raiders raid, farmers farm and losers whine. Shut up, move up, get revenge but just quit complaining.
How come my base being zapped connects to strategyQuote:

“Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
If someone drops three lightening on my DE storage they just spent 60,000+,- regular elixer. to get 2,000 +,- dark. That's why it's fair.
Also, if you have lightening farmers raiding your dark your in the wrong league! Jump up to Crystal 2 and farm the TH out. That offers players 50,000 gold and elixer and 200 Dark for freee.

And yes I know perfectly well what level 35+ cost the 5k intervals each level upgrade kind of gives you a clue - but you don't seem to be clued up on economics or basic mathematics do you...
the aim of the game (for "honest farmers" - if such a term exists) is to raid more than you lose. If this is not your strategy then you really do need to re-evaluate your strategy breaking your shield less for instance will help you accumulating the necessary DE for that upgrade.
How many times do you have the th on the outside for your free shield to hide behind? how many times as a th9 did you pick on a TH8 for that easy raid, or as a th10 now picking on those th9s? - if you have done any of those then you are no more honest than the zapper so live with it.
Incidently I got zapped by a TH10 last night was I annoyed... a little. Did my drills produce more than what I lost over night... yes.... am I still gaining DE.... yes. When my shield runs out will I raid to get a lot more DE....Yes. Annoyance reduced to irrelevance.
I for one am completely fed up with this practice as well. I don't see this as whining, but pointing out a flaw, or loophole, in the game that should be rectified. As soon as my de storage gets more than 20k in it that's all I get are lightening attacks on my storage. And I DO have my townhall outside. It doesn't deter anyone. I have heard all the so called "remedies" for this problem and it doesn't do any good. Let's review the suggestions:
Revenge them - Nice idea, in theory. Unfortunately it is difficult and requires a miracle of timing to find
the offender without a shield and when they're not online. And maybe I just have bad luck here, but immediately after being zapped, I return to find that they have no de left but their barbarian king is undergoing an upgrade. So if I revenge them, I spend a gob of elixir and/or dark elixir to 3 star them. My reward for which is nothing because they have no loot, but they get a nice 16 hour shield out of it. And if they're a higher level than me I can lightening them back. My reward for which is nothing since they have no de left, and I just spent a lot on spells for nothing and give them a bunch of trophies. Either way, I lose.
Go to the Masters league - Supposedly this practice doesn't happen at the elite levels, just down in the sewers where those of us who can't spend 90% of their time playing games and don't have the luxury of a maxed out town hall 10 reside. I think my description alone describes the issue with this practice.
Leave you town hall outside - I do. And this hasn't deterred anyone. It still happens on 9 out of 10 attacks when my storage is more than 25% full. I just get a shield out of it when they have the courtesy to snipe my town hall also.
Don't keep a lot of dark elixir in your storage - Do I even need to point out what a useless suggestion this is? How are you supposed to upgrade/research anything?
None of these have any impact and/or are impractical for many people. So in summary my options are to bend over and grab my ankles, or... no wait that's the only option. Perhaps the reason that there is so much "whining" going on about this issue is because it is a genuine issue. We are the customers here, and Super Cell should listen to their customers or they will start losing business. It would not be difficult to simply make the dark elixir storage immune to lightening (or at least so resistant as to make it pointless to attack it solely with spells). Nothing else in the game has to change. But this practice of lazy punks exploiting (what I would hope to be) an unintended loophole and offending the rest of the legitimate players would disappear.
I haven't read much up on a lot of these types of threads but it dose raise an issue. Why are their so many?Quote:

So yea, I would propose a 50% damage reduction on lightening vs Dark Elixer storage tanks.
Or !!! start spamming the holy he'll out of ALL DE vs lightning threads.
Be heard!
Also yes I do know I said it was fair but I've never saved more than 40,000 dark yet. So I'm sure my opinion will change once I try to save up 60,000 or more.... we'll see.
And no I have no idea how much lv3 golems or lv 35 hero's cost....yet .I'm sure I could research and find out.
.... If only Hidden Teslas actually absorbed the lightening, and shot it back at double the radius for that single strike at double power when hit by lightening spells...Quote:

I think that zapping for DE is some sort of Pyrrhic victory.
(If someone don't know what this means, see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory)
Or, in other words, zapping for DE is neither cost-effective nor time-effective.
