Dark Elixir

This thread is extremely important, it involves the intentions of Supercell.

As many of you know, Supercell has announced a new building called the dark elixir. You can sort of guess its only unlocked at a level 9 TH. Now if this was Clash of Clans 5 months ago, I would immediately get the dark elixir structure. But people: This is a trap. Why?

Supercell has been thinking of ways to stop farming, and since there is no fair system to identify a "farmer", SC has been working 24/7 trying to solve the farming problem. Now I predict that this dark elixir will be extremely valuable - you can convert it into ordinary elixir/gold, and gain perhaps 50% more. Now EVERYONE would rush to get this structure.

BUT WAIT! Aren't we missing something? That's right! The TH restrictions!!! This is a trap to stop farming once and for all!!! Furthermore, if this dark elixir was unlocked at a new lvl 10 town hall, this would mean even tighter farming restrictions! So if you agree just say something, if you don't agree also say something.

I'm sorry I'm a newbie but WHAT??? Can I find this on the wiki? Can you tell me about it?

Sorry, I do not quite understand the problem. Is that because I am only at TH7?

Your wrong. You get dark elixir container at th7. At that time to gather the resource you need to raid it from others. At th8 you get a dark elixir pump. With dark elixir you can buy and upgrade two new hero troops. Heroes cant die but when beaten go for a few hours of recovery time. They can be used in att and def. You can also put them to sleep so they wont def and wont be beaten then. The hero troops are an archer and a barbarian. Both stronger than any normal troops we have

You realize I'm already at Town Hall 9 And I'm still farming just fine like it's nobody's business.
Your assumption is completely off the wall; whats the point of trying to stop the farmers it's the only way non gem buying players are able to upgrade their bases. Saying that Supercell wants to try and remove this, is basically saying Supercell wants to shoot itself in the foot.

They implemented the new matchmaking system in order to protect the extremely low levels from the extremely high ones I remember being a level 20 getting raided by people 30+ levels higher than me and stealing a decent amount too.

Let's just play the game and enjoy it; no conspiracy talk!

Hi Moseszator,
First, thank you for this interesting information. I would fully agree with you, unless SC untights - to some extent - the looting reductions based on the TH levels difference. And my recommendation to all is to move on farming as long as they can - or improve your village until the last possible before moving up to the next TH
Regards

I think your point about converting dark elixir into gold/elixir is wrong >>

Hmm, then I wonder what it can be used for.
