Dark elixir farming is absolutely rediculous...
The new update absolutely destroyed the dream of having maxed heroes... Approx. 1000 DE per attack, because any increase in that number needs DE troops, so if a hero needs for example 120000 DE that's 120 times the average, so you need 120 attacks unraided without donation or consuming, and that's only 1 level... The gold and elixir may became harder and fairer, but the DE is rediculous... I know you are a company and you are trying to make some profit, but at least make it reasonable...
Increase the number of drills, and the maxed level of the drill in order to make it more exciting and sane...
