Dark elixir storage lighting spells fix

Everyone hate getting lightning spells on dark elixir storages. It's rude, and completely unfair, as a th7 could even lightning a th10, with no skill what soever. This needs to be fixed as it's one of the rudimentary things in the game.

Here's the suggestion. Simply make dark elixir storages 4x, or 6x more resistant to lightning spells, as supercell has done 2x tesla damage to pekkas, and 2x giant bomb damage to hogs, I believe giving a resistance factor to dark elixir storages will decrease the annoyance, and frustration caused by this immature predicament.

let me guess...you got zapped by a town hall 7 because you're in a trophy range where most of them farm right?

First there is nothing to fix here its not like you can take all of someones de with some lightning spells if someone zaps you revenge them if you attacked first thats on you, secondly SuperCell all ready said they arnt planning to change it

It's annoying, but all in all not a very profitable or efficient strategy.

There's no point of doing this. If you are worth zapping you can easily earn it back. + read above post

Lightning de has been nerfed in the past several times desipte never being able to take all of it so that point is moot
Revenge doesnt work 90% of the time and isnt profitable 99% of the time so that point is moot.
SC have done something since then that effects zapping so what they said back then is also moot, especially since that statement is built on the incorrect assumption that zapping is inneficient and unprofitable. And surprise surprise, the update after that statement indirectly made zapping more unprofitable. So evidently they have changed their minds on it after seeing how widespread it is. However because zapping is too profitable an indirect nerf wont change that, thus a direct nerf along the lines of what was suggested here doesnt seem unlikely.

Zapping isnt profitable at all, secondly in lower league where zapping most likely happens revenge works fine, out of the 6 people that zapped me recently ive revenged 5 of them, also its not like SuperCell said that years ago it was 3 months ago

I got zapped for 1500 DE last night..revenged for 2500 #LikeABoss

Exchange rates can only be decided by the players, the value of risk-free and troop-free de for the price of zaps in elix and time is obviously too high, otherwise people wouldnt do it. There are many hardcore farmers on the forums that will tell you as much, ive seen many high level th10s wity high heroes and many guides by people with maxed heroes saying to zap so it is frankly ridiculous to state its unprofitable.
Also when SC made that statement doesnt invalidate what I said in regards to it.
Just because you have had some success being able to revenge ( you havent said whether it was even profitable) it doesnt mean other people do, just search revenge to see all the people complaining that they cant and they should be able to revenge passed shields, everyone knows revenge is a largely broken mechanic.

As i typed this i just got zapped again, in m2. Even in m2 i lose more de to zaps than anything else.

Congatulations! You are the 1000th forumer to post a thread like this on the IFR.

The animosity on this thread is because suggesting something about fixing dark elixir zapping is socially unacceptable and worse than any other act you can commit on this subforum.

If you have another idea (that isn't ruled out or super-suggested many times), then you will see we are a loving community. Thanks and good luck revenging him (revenging isn't that perfect either).

That's b/c you're getting TH sniped constantly for the league bonus otherwise. So by comparison, DE is about the only thing you are really losing when the occasional zapper comes along. That is due to a broken league bonus system. Fixing the system would lead to heavy attacks coming more frequently, and DE zaps on your base would be largely welcomed by you in comparison. It's only b/c nobody storage raids anymore that it seems like DE zapping is prevalent. If this game were updated to be played the way it was intended (meaning your DE storage would be fully taken down instead of zapped for 50%, in addition to heavy hits on gold/elixir storages), DE zapping would be shown to be even more inefficient than it already is.

The revenge system is goofy at best, I agree there. I'm sure those in lower leagues are a bit more available as the other poster stated, simply b/c TH snipes aren't instant like they are in higher leagues, but trying to use the Revenge argument as a counter to zapping is of little value.

The reason for DE zapping being fine should only have to be explained due to the inefficiency of it as far as the time and resource cost required for doing so (the attacker's perspective), and that by TH9/10 you are generating the stuff at a rate where the loss is minimal, a nuisance at best (the defender's perspective).
