Elixir for walls cost 1.5x

Hey guys, as I approach a maxed out TH 8 ive run out of things to spend elixir on. Id like to upgrade everything before I move onto 9, and as you know, that includes level 8 walls. I've been stuck with millions of elixir and just keep getting raided for it, and was wondering if there was any way to bring back elixir for walls under level 9. obviously elixir is easier to come by, so instead of the same price, and for "economy balancing", maybe we could have wall upgrades cost 1.5x in elixir as they would in gold? It's just an idea I've spitballed with a couple friends that are in nearly the same situation, and everyone seems to think it makes sense. Otherwise I'll just sit on nearly 6 million elixir and get spanked for it.

Can we make it happen?

I know some people are in the same position and I'm hoping this idea can gain some attention and thereby traction

Try search function please.

Elixer surplus for th8 is brought up several times a day.

As for your elixir surplus, train dragons or other high cost troops and use it to raid gold.

I'd tend to agree, there is an excess of elixir at th8 - I'm in the same boat, I've had red blocks around my collectors for ages now and have been sitting on 6 million for weeks now.

As far as training high cost troops for donations or advanced raids, an army of level 3 dragons and level 5 balloons will reduce the number of prospective attacks to 2,maybe 3 a day and that's just not in the best interests of the game. If you're flush and willing to throw gems at boosting the barracks, maybe, but it limits the amount of farming one can do.

I think to restore some sort of balance, level 8 walls should be elixir driven, heck, even at 2x the cost - I won't mind emptying my storages for 3 more skulls!

At any rate, I'm going up to th9 next week and know I'm going to be empty after the spell factory, the lab and barb level 6 are done. It will be a pleasant change!

Allowing TH 8 to spend ALL of their elixir in walls wrecked the economy. If that happens again and it's 1.5x the price, well it's going to wreck 1.5x faster.

This has been brought up many many times, you can read this http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...52#post3662552

I posted my idea there you can get informed about some arguments and come back again

Can everyone who brings this up just quit it. Its boring.

If its excess and you get spanked for it, so what, you dont need most of it.

If you are so worried about it then upgrade your TH and spend your extra elixir.

The level and cost of the wall are not what need to be adjusted for elixir. It's the threshold of elixir that must be held in order to use it. Upping the cost to 1.5x is pointless if TH8s still have no need for it. They'll be doing less walls per capped storage, but they'll still be dumping everything out of their storages. There needs to be a restriction on the ability to use elixir on walls so that a minimum threshold must first be held before walls are eligible to be used with elixir, that is the only way that elixir for walls works w/o ruining the economy at higher levels.
