I am a th8 and when i farm for elixir i use BAM. With this i can get around 1-1.5 mil an hour. I get this much by finding dead bases or hitting th9 and 10s that have 200k+ with their storages closer to the outside. I have very little problem finding elixir and since all my lab upgrades take 5+ days i need something to spend my elixir on during that time.
I have 3 accts, a th8, th9, and th10. I think only allowing lvl9+ walls to be upgraded with elixir will help force a lot of loot back into the game especially around th8 and down -- which really isn't a bad thing for lower lvldd players. I support the Idea. Besides, us oldies had to upgrade walls with gold for almost our entire clash careers.....it's only fair to make you wait until lvl 9 walls to go through at least a portion of what we had to go through :)
Right on - who wants to wait 2 hours for troops to build - what's the point. Even with a boosted rack you can get what - 3 or 4 raids in per 2 hours? LAMEQuote:

SC doesn't typically listen to who yells the loudest. They constantly monitor resource availability (they would be very foolish not too) and then they make changes as they deem appropriate. SC implemented the elixir for walls change, waited a bit, monitored the situation and decided "Hey this has created too much of an imbalance."
I too, like Goobers, wish you could be TH10 for a week. Us higher THs have been where you are, but you have no idea of what the game is like for us. Start going through your attack log. Now deduct 50% of the loot from all of your TH8 raids and 75% of the loot from all of your TH7 raids. Be honest with yourself as you do it. Also double the cost of every next you do. Also double your troop costs. Now triple or quadruple the cost of every one of your upgrades.
I'm not so much whining about TH10 as I'm trying to get through to you that resource management at TH10 is completely different.
At TH7 and TH8 you are in the best spot possible for loot in this game. Thus far your capacity to gather loot has increased at every TH level. Well when you move on to TH9 and TH10, your capacity to gather loot drops precipitously.
Step back and look at that before you accuse others of taking delight in your "suffering". This game is not all about you and your so called plight. SC is trying to ensure the game is fun for everyone who plays it.
I think SC should have made them from lv10=)
I was a mid-way th8 when the last wall update came out. When I found out that we could use elixir to upgrade walls, I stopped spending gold on walls entirely, and only used elixir (I had completed all lvl7 walls with gold :mad:). I maxed my defenses, and took most of my barracks to 9 (1 to 10) to research PEKKA. I maxed my walls out at lvl8 3 days before my th9 was completed. That meant that I had 6m gold and about 5m elixir when my th9 was complete. So, was the previous wall update great for me? Yes. Do I think that they should make the rule be lvl8 walls instead (due to the cost)??? Maybe...
For me though, I was saving every ounce of DE that I could get a hold of to max my BK. I didn't put any into minions, hogs, etc. But now... all of you th7s and th8s get more DE drills. Do you hear the th9s and th10s complaining about it? No. Take the good with the bad. You will have all of your DE troops maxed in no time. You may have to be at th7/8 for an extra month, but so what. Enjoy the fun you will have raiding all of the other bases with all of those maxed troops! Like the others have said, TH9/10 raiding is much more difficult, and we can't hit the abandoned th6/7 bases for massive scores.
When it all comes down to it, SC is letting you play an amazing game for free! If you want to upgrade quicker, spend money on gems. If you don't, welcome to the grind.
Here's Marika's explanation. It makes sense to me and makes the point clear: wall upgrades with elixir were added to help players with high level wall upgrades.

Mid-level Wall upgrades using Elixir have become an easy and highly-available place to spend away excess Elixir, which is good for idle Villagers, but bad for active attackers. Our primary goal for Wall upgrades using Elixir was always to give players more flexibility when pushing their Walls to higher levels, so pushing the Elixir option to Wall level 9+ will help us keep this flexibility for the most expensive of Walls while still retaining more Elixir in mid-level battles for when you go on the attack.
Yep :pQuote:

But they aren't. They are complaining that they have too much resources. They literally have so much access to loot that they cannot spend it. Then they have the gal to whine about their so called rights and accuse others of delighting in their suffering.Quote:

Got lots of lab upgrades to do and will probably max out barracks. Didn't prioritize them, since I only barch and didn't need a pekka yet + dark troops other than minions or hogs. But since the elixer will go up, that motivates to max out everything and not only the defences.
I also really like the second de drill at th8, that will make much better raiding for th9+ and will help greatly for maxing out my BK and minions and stuff.
