One, things in life change for the good and bad. Upgrading walls with elixir was a blessing, though I didn't heavily rely on elixir for walls, it still came in handy when trying to get them out the way quickly when you have no elixir to spend on anything else. Me personally, my elixir is always sitting high no matter what. It's the gold that I have to work hard for to keep up, especially since I do my best to upgrade many things at once.
Two, people seem to always have this mindset that change isn't good. ORIGINALLY, I feel the wall update was really good before (yes, even starting at level 6 walls), simply because it put our elixir to better use. Why is that people think "I went through it so they have to go through it too" in life? I didn't have a drill at TH7 and had to work so hard for that barbarian king, but you know what? Why be bitter and upset that SC finally brought a drill to TH7s now? Like, you got yours the old fashioned way and that's great, but people can't just, dare I say, be happy people can better get their base upgraded. So what that SC brought the ability to upgrade walls with elixir now but you didn't have it back when you were a TH7/8? The experienced players get sooo bitter and for what? Even with this new update (even though I hate I was in the middle of upgrading walls to level 8 just to get thrown off now since I can't evenly disperse my loot where needed), we affected by it have to accept change...since it was done to fix the economy...sure.
Three, the economy. If it's TH10's complaining about loot, what do affecting TH7's or 8's gotta do with them? Your loot penalty is so heavy (50% of available resources...so 7% of what's in our storages and 25% of what's in our collectors) if y'all tried to raid us, we should be the least of your concerns. Mind you, the TH9's still potentially have the ability to still spend "extra elixir" on their walls to level 9 and 10...sooooo where exactly does the balancing come in with that? I mean, there is a cap regardless, and even TH9's get a penalty raiding us (though I know miniscule in comparison to TH10's). TH9's can still get 280K in gold/elixir from us if we have about 2.2 million in our storages of the respective resource anyway; and I don't know where y'all be looking, but I see plenty of TH8's and TH9's with wonderful loot in those abandoned collectors (TH10's too!) But I'm sorry, I'll bite my tongue, because last thing a TH9 or 10 would wanna see is a TH8 talking about they see good loot...but I mean...if I see em I know y'all got to see em too sometimes.
BUT I DIGRESS. Point is, people weren't open minded, so the louder party got their wish. All we can do (us affected by it) is just live with it. 500K per wall isn't that bad for me, but now I can't just upgrade my walls alongside my defense upgrades since I do mass upgrades. But hey, my defenses are almost done so eh. I guess if the economy "goes back up", they'll keep the the wall change at level 8 going into level 9 walls. If things don't change, then I guess we can speak up and get it back the way it was (though by then, it probably won't even affect me, but it's not just about me).
PS: All you experience people were in our places at one point, and at one point I know for a fact you may have loathed those price of walls when you first saw them. You handled your business though and I won't knock you for it, since it wouldn't make sense to. But you should understand the struggle regardless...you get it how you get, and if people were getting their walls by elixir then good for them. Shrug...let people do their hustle.
