Level 7 walls need to be able to be upgraded with elixir.

Many townhall 8's and 9's have already upgraded all that they can with elixir. This leaves them with a pretty full elixir storage for the rest of the time they are trying to upgrade other buildings and walls. Elixir becomes pointless as it can't be used for anything except troop training. If you could use it to upgrade level 7 walls to level 8 walls, this elixir issue would be solved, making the monotonous task of upgrading walls a lot less painful.

*This is an addition after reading some of your comments on the subject. If walls were upgradable with elixir from level 7 to level 8, there would need to be a minimum required amount of elixir to have in your storage to be able to spend it on walls. This would prevent the main problem most people see with this idea which is the lack of elixir in the economy of the game.

Please reply with thoughts on this idea.

You do realize there's about 500 other threads on this same exact subject, right?

Also, they did this before, and it was a huge mistake. It ruined the whole loot economy. It's great they managed to switch it back.

That's a bad idea.

Hi scooter, welcome to the forums, be sure to read the sticky of under consideration and ruled out ideas before posting, also searching is useful to find threads related to the topic you want to discuss.

This particular topic has been brought up many, many, many, many times. Finding an already constructive discussion on the subject and adding to it would be a better use of your time. I would suggest this thread:

Did you know that no walls used to be upgradeable with elixir? This is a feature they added years after the game came out and quickly realized level 7 to 8 was too soon. I feel lucky they even left it available at level 8 to 9 walls. I'm at 210/250 legos because of that, but as previously mentioned, this feature at level 7 to 8 ruined the COC economy because there was no elixir available to anyone.

If people could do this, then you could find no more than 500k elixir in th8 and 9...

You can disagree all you want but without some form of minimum storage cap before the upgrade can be purchased this is a phenomenally colossal bad idea of game ending proportions. That is a well proven and documented fact. Just like the sky being blue. You can point at the clouds all day claiming the sky is not blue but you are only fooling yourself . . . and other fools I suppose.

If you would look at the thread I linked, you would see that I agree that it would REQUIRE a minimum amount of elixir before you could upgrade a wall with it, I purposed needing to stay over raidable cap after upgrading a wall.

The idea of being able to upgrade walls with elixir is not inherently a bad idea, but rather an idea that needs a deeper understanding of what it does to the economy and how it could be applied in a workable manner.

Instead of going on and on like I always do on why this is a bad idea ill just put this here.

People go crazy for the few weeks we had elixir for lv7+walls but ignore the 2+years we didn't and could only use gold.
