I'm getting tired of deleting half of threads because of trolling and personal attacks.
I pity the next person who posts something offensive, insulting, off topic or flamey.
This has been suggested for ever and SuperCell have not done it, so fair to say the lightning rod will never happen.
However I recently posted a new idea on the issue, making storage loss more realistic. The more you damage it the better return you get.
So if you bolt ONLY you don't get much, but if you damage it first and then bolt it - you get a big return. It helps encourage smashing the whole storage for loot.
And this idea does not negatively impact the lightning spells ability to damage buildings in any way shape or form.
Have a read!

I hate this idea, takes a huge stratagy component from the game, is to OP, and it's not like you don't have the ability to do it to others, so I don't see your problem.
There is nothing wrong with zapping Dark Elixir storages. If the attacker is willing to lose trophies and elixir (from paying for lightning spells) to get dark elixir, then that is fine.
What if they need 100 more for an upgrade? I would do that if I had been saving up and needed a little more.
Sure, it is disappointing to log in and see that someone zapped you, but that is the whole point of the game, to save up and steal from other players.
Keep it clean, keep it classy.
