First post on the forum is to complain about the loot for level 8 walls.
Seriously?
When the lix for walls aren't implemented yet, I made huge contribution to my clan by donating tons of dragons.
Just because i don't want anybody to wreck me ;););)
You could start doing that with your extra elixir.
Meanwhile i can't even get 6 million for my archer level 6 upgrade. Time to destroy your base :D:D
Out of sheer interest do you have any proof to support this?Quote:

Even my clan mates who are just about to start skulls think it makes more sense in the bigger picture, even though they say it would obviously be much easier to do their walls with elixer also. They still see the bigger picture. And everyone with lvl7 walls say,"at least make it lvl8 available with elixer" so even thought it may "suck" for you now, in the long run and bigger picture I think its best for the overall economy
Dumping elixir into walls reduced the loot so much most players had trouble farming their troop costs. The september update was a catastrophy. Many players went inactive or did only clan wars because of the wall change. Also nobody boosts for bad loot. It was the bored players running away that cost money. Nobody does walls with gems directly.Quote:

I got to th9 with max def, max troops and 40K dark elixxir and 6 million normal for queen and lvl6 giants but with pink walls and I was way faster this way.Quote:
SC's official reason may be one of balancing the economy, but this December's update/correction was surely precipitated in large part by a drop in gem IAPs this Q4. Also regarding balancing, no such balancing would be required if both non-premium currencies in the game were equally useful, and equally useful along the same timeline (i.e. yes, lab upgrades require a large amounts of elixir, but over a very long period, allowing you to always be running a surplus typically). Moreover, after all buildings/troops/spells are upgraded, you are done with elixir (except for armies of course) - BUT you have 10s of millions more gold that has to be farmed for walls, all the while with full elixir coffers.
Giants need less time than archers so if you have too much elixir stop barching and start attacking with giant + archer and go for storages.Quote:
Regarding "why don't you just create really expensive armies now that you have all that elixir": this would be ideal, except for the massive cooking and barracks time...not practical (see timeliness-cost comment above).
The only ones that benefited where the non attacking players that hide all their elixir in walls to save up for defenses.Quote:
Gold has once again become a huge limiting resource for the mid-levels and newcomers. Like many who started CoC early on, I didn't benefit from the Sept update, but my son did, and now he's constantly complaining about its removal:)
I did all my lvl 10 walls with elixir, its not that hard, plus fsrming and collecting elixir, ismharder than gold in my opinion and experience.
I love these threads, does anyone else not think it is super funny that these people come onto the forums, demanding that Supercell change back elix for the low level walls? Like they are entitled, or that what they think is best for them is more important over the overall economy, longivity and health of the game?
How about we think about the greater picture not just upgrading a few cheap walls with elixir, cos it benefits you?
I am currently at TH8 and honestly the walls are not that difficult to farm. Sure, it is tiresome, but watching more skull walls dominate my base is enough to make me keep going. My advise is just to spam BARCH and boost your barracks if possible. You will get those walls in no time.
Just need to stop this nonsense for level 9 and 10 walls now.
It sucks, but my walls are almost done so who cares now. Just dumb to sit on 4mil of useless elixir at th8 though.
I really like the change. I think it will really help to make more exilir available for raiding, thereby encourage more attacking overall. The oversupply of exilir in th8 storages is a positive thing for the overall game economy.
On one of my accounts, my less active, WiFi only, night and weekends account, I did 8 skulls with gold and 3 legos with pink. Sure, it would have been nice to have done 14 skulls instead of 8, thereby accelerating the process, but it is not like I don't need to get legos going anyway.
And since I have 11 more days until my lab is available, it is not like I need pink right now.
