Mitigating DE Zapping - Why not ruled out?

[Trmcgregor]

I'd rather see SC fix/stop zapping. But if they're not going to, then rule it out.

SC need to stop sitting on the fence and decide, one way or another.

There are a lot of things that can be done to mitigate de zapping. Are we going to rule all of them out individually or simply make a blanket statement that ANYTHING that reduces the amount of de that can be taken from dropping lightning spells on a de storage will be ruled out?

Anti/Pro zapping threads are usually easy to spot. Just don't open them if they bother you so much.

[DarkHero]

No it shouldn't because you should deal with it.

Why fix/stop it when there's no problem?

I love how your poll want's an explanation if you disagree, but not if you agree. Having the poll question, make the questioners opinion obvious, is a well known way of introducing a small amount of bias into the poll :P

My explanation, is of course that Lightening SHOULD damage what it hits. People who have spent elixir on the spell should get the benefit of what the spell is supposed to do. If they throw it at troops, it should dmg the troops. If they throw it at resources it should dmg the resources. There is simply no valid reason to make one particular resource exempt. A great example... It's not all that uncommon to hit 49% and decide to spend your lightening spell on a damaged tower. Do you really want to argue that if the tower that was nearly done that you're trying to clear off is the DE storage, that it shouldn't be able to be destroyed?

You guys are all wounded about losing DE to lightening spells... but when I look at your bases, you haven't taken the obvious steps of maxing out your DE storage, putting your TH outside so you generally have a shield... stuff like that. Why should I listen to the opinion of people who aren't even doing the basics, and yet still complain about their uncontrollable losses?

zapping is op because even maxout th10 defense cannot cope with it
everytime i log off a boy comes with lightening spells and zap my de
that makes me not breaking my shield even at crytal league
why there is a strange option like zapping
just now a noob zapped my de for only 200 de. strange and unpleasant

Wonderful idea! I have post about put it in the sticky myself. Every single time somebody goes and whine, I can shut them up and theres nothing I can do about it. I really hate this trolls.

Personally i thought that the ruled out list was for things that the dev ruled out, not for things that tomatosarenice ruled out but maybe I'm wrong
But as others have said it would be nice if SC stopped sitting on the fence with stuff, it can't be helped since there are more important things to be done, things that actually make them profit. So even if they do want to change it they won't, since its not a game breaker.

Firstly many people have taken these 'obvious steps'. Some pro-zappers falsely say that inside th is better too.
Secondly, mitigating zapping de can be done by only allowing de to be taken if a troop has hit it at least once, or by allowing you to take the zapped de if the whole storage breaks.
But most importantly, there is no e in LIGHTNING damnit!

I was kind of waiting for an Anti-Zapper to show up. This is a neutral thread, no need to bring in arguments for or against the case. Its just a thread asking why, if mods have said that Zapping isn't an issue, and that mods haven't commented on, why it isn't put on the list to clean up the forums. We just need SC staff to make a stand on it, be it for or against, it will silence everybody the second they make a stand...









Up until people on the opposite side of SC's stand go up in arms about it....
