can we please get elixer back for building walls?

it would be lovely if we could again use either gold or elixer for building walls at any level. is there any chance of that happening? maybe as a valentines treat?

thanks for considering!

because of the 'upgrading walls with elixer'
people couldn't collect as much elixer from people as they used to
this is why it has been deleted, because it unbalanced the loot system

it would still be nice to get it back for awhile, even temporarily... building your village is just as important as being able to steal from someone.

No, not if it ruins the game like it already did once. The only way elixir should be allowed to be spent on walls is if you already have 4million in your storage. Once you drop below 4mil it gets disabled again. Then you could use it for any level of wall without ruining the game.

i think you're being overly dramatic. it's not going to ruin the game.

Its not gone from the game they just moved it up so people in TH 6 and 7 can still get a decent amount of loot from attacks. SC only moved it up to using it on level 9+ walls.

The logical answer is, "because it did the first time".

Why do you think it wouldn't? What's different now?

Nope, more likely not dramatic enough. It did ruin the game for most TH9-TH10 players from Sep-Dec. Lots of people quit CoC entirely because it was unplayable beyond TH8/low TH9. 30-60 minutes of clicking next was considered normal before you would run into a village with enough elixir to cover the cost of a simple barch army. Since the only point of CoC is to attack other people and take their loot . . . no loot = no game. Unless of course you consider TH1-TH7 the entire game.

There are thousands of pages of information on this. If you are actually interested a simple search will provide reading for weeks. Have to filter through the troll/flame posts but there is a staggering amount of actual information about it. Elixir for walls was the biggest mistake SC has made. They realized it, tried to fix it and sort of did.

well, to be honest with you, i'm probably one of a small handful of players who never attacks anyone (i get attacked plenty!). i just like building up my little village and making upgrades to it. i have a TH10 and L7 walls that i'm trying to upgrade, but it's so expensive that i find it debilitating.... so it would be nice to be able to use elixer. since i never attack anyone (and never have), i guess i'm an anomaly.
