Don't make elixer only used for level 9 walls!!! here's why

I'm TH8. I am a very active player - I raid a lot.

The problem is I am going to have NOTHING to do with elixer.

There is a bottleneck on what I can spend elixer on - barracks, troops, laboratory and a few one offs here and there.

I already have more elixer than I know what to do with!

I'm going to be sitting on max elixer with nothing to do with it other than wait for someone to raid and take it. And now elixer is going to be easier to get.

This is a horrible, horrible idea.

If you HAVE to do this, then give us a second laboratory. The laboratory was already the bottleneck in advancing and now you made it way worse.

Perfect, more elixir for me to raid!

Exactly, that's why I wish it was level 8 and up walls.

It's good for the game and merely inconvenient for some players. I would say lvl9 walls is maybe too low, but at least it is a tangible step towards fixing our resource vacuum modeled economy.

You and this guy need to talk. Really.

You lead me to this nonsense?

"I'm TH8. I am a very active player - I raid a lot.

Is counter logic. You build armies with elixir that you supposedly raid with a lot. If you have too much elixir and not enough black elixir/gold then build non-cost efficient armies to raid towns storing lots of gold (such as ballonion or GoWiPe). You can always spend excess amounts of purple elixir in healthy ways. Opposed to players having no purple elixir to raid - whatsoever - is endemic and is unhealthy for the game. This patch does mitigate the problem at hand but Super Cell needs to just remove spending elixir on walls entirely.

I'm TH8 and I'm in the opposite corner to you. I concentrated on upgrading my defences and now have a surplus of gold and a shortage of elixir. Personally, I am glad that elixir can't be used on walls any more as I will be able to gain more elixir whilst raiding and get the rest of my barracks upgraded :)

That's a bad arguement, who want's to wait hours to build gowipe every time they want to raid? Your argument is flawed majorly. I agree with this post, 100%. Elixer is going to be full 100% of time.

Just because you're bad at managing resources and don't know when to quit upgrading walls doesn't mean we should all be punished. I upgraded tons of walls with elixer, and I have respectable barracks, and I raid a lot and NEVER am short on elixer unless it's planned and calculated. This is a bad fix, punishing people for other peoples mistakes and bad management skills.

Seems as these two opposing threads each have valid points, and I wonder how Supercell, with their crackpot team of developers, couldn't figure out the perfect solution to this problem?

Elixir for walls allowed from lvl 7+ walls, but in order to use elixir to upgrade the wall piece, you must satisfy these conditions:

- after wall upgrade, you still retain enough elixir to hit the max loot cap for your TH level.

... and that's it. Just don't allow it to be completely unrestricted, and you let hardcore farmers with overflowing elixir have an outlet to dump their excess into, and it doesn't allow players to dump it all out of the system so that others can't recover their army costs.
