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

I think Level 7 is too low, for sure. You should be able to get 200k per wall without much problem.
I do, however, think that moving the option down to Level 8 walls would be fair. 500k per wall is a lot to ask when there are a ton of other upgrades that need attention at Town Hall 8 and/or 9. Also...

I hear you. However, I think there are already too many Town Hall 8 and 9 bases with more (and I mean 2-3 times more, typically) Elixir available than Gold.
Personally, I get so much Elixir (from Clan War bonuses and my collectors), that I usually just skip those bases, even if they have 300k Elixir available (unless they have >100k Gold, in which case I purposely attack from the side that will get me the most Gold and ignore Elixir). I just don't need it. I've already completed every Elixir upgrade (building upgrade and troop research) except PEKKA level 3, and I don't really care about that right now. Yet I still have plenty of defenses left before I can upgrade to Town Hall 9, and my walls are still Level 7.
Through the first three days of the season, I've donated about 1500 troops (of just about every kind -- I tell my Clan to ask me for Dragons and PEKKA), and I still have trouble slowing my Elixir gains. I've even resorted to putting one of my Elixir Storages next to my Town Hall in my farming base to basically give some away.

Again, I think 200k Gold per wall was reasonable, but 500k is just too much. I think the Elixir option should start at Level 8.

The reason you find those bases is because they can't upgrade walls with elixir, once you don't need to save for anything it all goes into walls.

When lvl 7 and 8 walls could be upgraded elixir there was no elixir in the game. People stopped warring because they couldn't fund war armies. People were donating less because elixir was so precious. Just paying for barch armies was hard much less trying to save up the 6-8M needed for most upgrades at th9/10. Without gold your base doesn't grow. Without Elixir the game is unplayable.

Chances are you will be near max th8 (when you can't spend elixir) for a couple months and your problem is too much of something. This is much better then a couple years at th9/10 when you can't find any elixir.

The OP mentions th9s having issues but they have no excuse. If they spend 500k gold on walls they can then spend 4M Elixir on that same piece of wall.

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.

I started playing this game in the beginning of 2013, so I am fully aware that walls were not upgradable with elixir in the past. However, I feel it would benefit players if they introduced it from level 7 to level 8 with some sort of minimum storage amount to prevent the economy from lacking elixir.

Good joke

Level 7 walls are easy. 200k is nothing, if anything they're underpriced IMO

I agree with you in the fact that there should be some minimum storage amount to have before you can use the elixir on walls. That should keep the economy balanced and allow the user to have something to spend the elixir they have on.

I'm glad to see you've added this suggestion to your original post. A minimum required balance in elixir storages in order to use it on upgrading walls level 7 to 8 is the only way this could ever be viable. SC may say this is "difficult to code" though, so who knows if it'll ever be implemented.

We are talking about upgrading walls to level 8 which costs 500k.

Objection! I don't agree upgrade your wall using exilirs.
For me 3m per walls should not a problem and you only level 7 wall up level 8 with cost 500k is damn easy find.
The journey I've passes. Just play with patient you will complete your coc journey don't shotcut

I don't think there needs to be any changes. Certainly not to lvl 7 walls. Skull walls can be tough at 500k per at th8. But get 75% of them done, then go th9, get your new defenses started and up to th8 lvl, then upgrade heroes with DE, and get all your purple walls up to skull with your gold while using elixir to get a start on Legos while keeping your lab going. This game is a tough farm, and it's supposed to be that way.
