Wall Update - A Possible Compromise
Before everyone gets up in arms from the title, it's different from the typical whine thread.
Obviously, the wall update hits TH 8 the hardest, due to the low number of elixir upgrades and the price of skulls (sure they're not overly expensive, but still pretty hard). But on the other side, TH9 and 10s seem to be getting more of the elixir they need for lab upgrades, so I see why SC implemented it.
So instead of helping TH 8s by reversing the recent wall update, what if TH 8 could get legos? TH 9 already has access to lavas, so they will still have a wall lvl to upgrade that TH 8 doesn't, and developed TH 8s could spend the elixir sitting in their vats.
Points of view:
TH 7 and below - An advanced TH 8 will probably be too threatening to attack anyway, won't affect them much
Rushed/Early TH 8 - Lvl 7 walls aren't too bad, and besides if rushed or early there's plenty to do with elixir. When it gets hard is when one's a near-max TH 8.
Advanced TH 8 - Great, finally a way to spend elixir
TH 9- They'll lose some elixir from raiding advanced TH 8s, but chances are, in a good league, they'll quickly find an equally large amount of loot and be able to get it with far less effort
TH 10- The penalty attacking a TH 8 (50%) is probably too high anyway, especially for the effort it'd take to take the loot
