This kind of reminds me of the rising gas prices in the USA and then they develop ways to turn corn into gasoline. Yeah - good idea. Not. Turning our food into gasoline? What do you think that did to the food prices? Yep - way up! Corn is in everything! Corn is in 75% of our food - even ice-cream. Comedian Lewis black once said, "F#@$! green-beans have corn in it."
And elixir is our corn to 'grow' our troops, our troop upgrades (mostly), and our building upgrades. When you make it possible to dump the elixir resource into walls (where it can't come back out), you are making it even more rare and expensive.
Get your elixir now - stock up - because elixir raids are going to be coming up 'dry' soon.
