Mitigating DE Zapping - Why not ruled out?

[dave5872]

I think it is funny that some people post here that they can zap all they want and you have to suck it up and deal with it but if someone posts anything negative about zapping here they get all upset and throw a tantrum.

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

Just a side note- a th10, coming to the forums about 200 DE while in crystal? Take back what you lost with the league bonus in masters. If you are a max th10, why are you hanging around a Th7-9 heavy league?

I have been on both sides of this case, I have posted about zapping, and have gotten mildly frustrated at some about not facing the facts that as of now, it is part of the game. Once SC makes a choice, it will hopefully end.

There was a recent update that mitigated zapping: the elixir wall update.

Most complainers are too thick headed to notice though. Being able to upgrade walls gives players pause to spamming lightning spells when the elixir can serve a better purpose.

Funny thing is, they will be zapped once or twice in three months and come a screaming lol.

Had SC come out with a statement about how they aren't going to do anything to mitigate the effects of zapping as this thread calls for, they couldn't have done the upgrading walls with elixir thing without going back on their word (plus about 1000 other things). Why would they make a statement that so drastically limits things they can do in the future?

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

Far as I see there's no bias in it, I provided what I felt to be a reasonable argument for it being ruled out hence didn't ask for an explanation if you agreed, since it would go along the same lines as I'd pointed out. If something wasn't said in that post and you have another reason to want it ruled out, by all means do.

So then I'm assuming GoWiPe is OP because even a maxed out TH10's defense cannot cope with it? Cause chances are, against a good GoWiPe attacker you're gonna get 2 starred.

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.

I'm suggesting it to be ruled out, and requesting an explanation as to why it isn't...there's a difference
And agree, SC needs to decide if they're gonna do something about it or just rule the dang thing out. I couldn't care less what they do, this thread isn't to express my opinion on zapping itself but it's presence in the forums. Right now, it's spammy, annoying, useless, and a waste of time.

And to those that said no, I still haven't seen a reasonable explanation as to WHY it shouldn't be ruled out. Can't have a discussion if one side can't form an argument.

You're looking at indirect ways of doing it, what I want ruled out is things like lightning rod, DE storage barrier, things along those lines that are suggested purely to stop zapping, since those are by far the most common (and useless).

Well currently they do have a lightning Rod/Tesla that will nerf lightnings under consideration, however it also says "If revealed". My guess is, it won't affect those who purely zap, but those who raid, and then zap just to add a little DE to their wins.
