So I decided that since most of the CoC community has no sense of fair play and TH9s are just plain greedy, they do not deserve it. Now I always use spells, heavy armies and so on, but even with this tactic I make more then I can spend. Let's face it, TH8 even before the upgrade when you could use lix on walls, had more elixir then they needed. It was always gold and DE at TH8. When I see my elixir filling up and I have no need for it, I keep a lvl 9 barrack that I start an upgrade and cancel, so that way I can dump my elixir. Now days I hardly get attacked by TH9s using this strategy. Still getting raided by TH8s for gold and elixir, but at least there I stand good chance of preventing a full raid storage a lot of times.
For anyone in this community who thinks this was the way to solve the elixir problem, it just shows how much you do not care about "balance" in the game and all you care is about your own good. There is plenty of ways they could've solved the elixir issues at TH9 and TH10. Simple one was to increase elixir bonus at higher leagues, so you can go and fight "the big boys" your own level and actually use that brain of yours, rather then smash your face on your tablet to roll one-two levels lower TH8s than you.
And please do not suggest that I need to upgrade to TH9 and join the "big boys" again, as a lot of you like to call yourselves. I do enjoy maxing every level. Also helps when you do move to the next level, because you have less upgrades to do, rushing it does not mean you do not have to do it later.
