My idea came about after the 1 millionth time of my Dark Elixer being struck and almost 2 days worth of collections taken by lightning strikes. I was thinking of a lightning rod that can be constructed and possibly upgraded to absorb (maybe if they can be upgraded different percentages of absorption) lightning spells near the vicinity they are dropped. Now it's up to the game makers, but maybe the absorbed energy can be set to a collector and boosted for a set amount of time. I think it will deter people from this kind of tactic where they just strike you with lightning and leave. It can be hidden (most preferred) or out in the open. Let me know what you think.

Reason: Wrong forum
This is a really dumb idea, if it were not for lighting it would be nearly impossible for lower level players to get DE from bigger better defended bases. Lighting is sometimes the only way I can get DE.
If you really want to discourage it, then just increase the price for the lighting spell. That way we can still collect DE but at a price.
