    Age of the thread and people still willing to contribute prove it's still an issue with some people. Regardless of what Super Steve has said in the past, things change. And again if people sit by idle and don't call for change then little would change. I think it's a flaw, u don't. It's not in our hands to change it, we can only try to influence what we want changed.

    Yeah, of course you can try; there are many however that disagree including a key SuperCell employee.

    Not going to be easy.

    Here is his post, much more recent than when this topic started.

    This happens at all levels. I have a TH10 acct and this happens to me no matter if I'm in crystal or masters. Same goes with my clan mates.

    It's a drag, but it is fair and it is good for the game. SC has stated they have no plans to change it and many of us agree.

    More importantly, well done searching for an existing thread before starting one of your own. You may be the first person in months, certainly this year to have done that. You sir win the internet for the day!

    Yeah it Sucks

    No fun. So I make it a point that if I am hit with lightning spells alone and they snipe my TH (its outside) then they are GOING to get revenged plain and simple. You take my DE. I flatten your base. SOmetimes it is even a losing proposition on my part but its the principal of the thing. If it bothers you that much do what I do, trust me you'll feel a lot better. Sometimes its not just about the numbers.

    What we can deduce from that is that they think its unprofitable and inefficient and/or they want it to be unprofitable and inefficient. Since people do it however we can say that for some people it is neither unprofitable nor inefficient, thus there is a need to change it to make it so.

    Increasing de at lower levels would have made it more unprofitable as there is more de that can be storage raided with other spells, so it is clear that they are trying to make it inefficient, however this topic frequently popping up by people who have made an account just to make threads like this is a good indication that more must be done in order to make Steve's statement a reality.

    I've only been zapped once in the last two weeks, so I suppose I don't have the same visceral response that people get when they get zapped repeatedly in one day.

    However, I should point out that if someone zaps you and snipes your TH, they did you a favor. They could have zapped you and left, and then you wouldn't have a shield, so someone else could come along and zap you too.

    A responsible zapper gives his victim a shield.

    And a responsible zapper-complainer leaves his TH outside so he can at least get a shield.

    All is fair in love and Clash ...except elixir walls for TH8 and below.

    You must realize many of these new spawns that complain about DE zapping are in the perspective of people like you. The defender being zap. From what Steve is saying, although you may not find DE zapping inefficient enough, it really is in reality to the attacker. They trade quite a bit of elixir for about 400-1000 DE. Thus, Steve's statement is already a reality, you just don't see it because you're bias towards this situation. We don't need to argue about it.
    Also, if high players get zapped, it from low TH's with low trophies. Rise up because if you think that high players rising up just for the sake of protecting their DE is ridiculous, then many could say high level players dropping trophies and farming on lower players is ridiculous. Thees are all greedy strategies, but nonetheless, they are techniques. Thats just why I think these threads about DE zaps a ridiculous.
