What was the motive behind the wall update?

[Sobberr]

You should've maxed your walls before moving on. It's your fault :/ there's no rush. Now when I hit th9 I'll enjoy using my elixir for legosss

Get over it;
Train army's and raid for gold and de.
I hated the wall elixir update; couldn't cover your army. And now you can + a lot more.

Easy to say when you have no understanding whatsoever what the conditions are like where we are.

When this update was added there was almost instantly no elixir to raid, anywhere.

TH9 or TH10 players have been pushed into a corner where we can only use Barch or BAM to make a profit. Using proper armies like loonion, GoWiPe has become virtually impossible as you can never make enough elixir to pay for the army. Eventually sending many trophy pushing players broke.

The game should never be sending players broke trying to play it in it's pure form - to get as many trophies as you can.

That is why SuperCell are trying to put elixir back into the economy. I don't agree with how SuperCell achieved it either, because at the moment TH7 & TH8 are feeling the most pain trying to feed higher halls. SuperCell should have restricted elixir walls to lv 10 or higher only. That way TH9 & TH10 would also feel the pain and contribute to the elixir economy.

The wall update reduced the elixir to raid because it was dumped into walls. While making walls with elixir is a good idea for th9s/10s that have done all defenses and are working on their lvl10 or lvl11 walls at 3/4 Million each.
If you are a th8 then you can do your skulls with Gold or just dont do them and move to th9.

At th9 you can do the lvl8s with Gold and start the inner circle with elixir. I dont know why this Looks bad. In my opinion this made sense even before the last update, because the inner circle is more important and the Price/hitpoint increase is the same.

Agreed. Level 10 walls take forever, Level 9s are personally cake just an extra step longer. Even though I've gone through 250, I've done purely 160 walls with gold only pre-elixir update and finished the rest combined. I'd say around 5 months in and out doing them. But I didn't go massively grinding on those walls, pre-update, I just farmed DE and any excess gold would just throw them into lv10 walls. [as heroes were my priority to improve my farming and offense overall]

So far I'm on 101 level 11 walls, the elixir upgrades help as I'm a fully maxed TH10 lab, defense and heroes wise, and the only thing left is Level 11 walls :/ . . . . . . . .

Agreed I think it's fair now. Cause town hall nines-tens need help with the HIGH level walls, lavas and zaps. With Skulls and lower it's very manageable to upgrade walls with gold only.

I honestly dont get it? Its stupid at th7 and 8 there are not a lot of exlier upgrades now they have all this excess exlier? Im at th9 all exlier upgrades are done and now I cant use the exlier? I have lvl 7 and 8 walls but if i started working on lvl 9 walls you know how trashy that would look on my base? I just want to know what was the motive I think it was absolutly stupid and pointless, but thats just me I know the th10s will be like "its part of the game", "deal with it" , "its not that bad" ,"your trolling"

Then put your full storages outside your walls. You dont seem to be needing all that elixir...

Icould use it to upgrade my giants to level 7
Also, if you dont have anymore elixir upgrades, you could always go to th 9. There are plenty of expensive elixir upgrades waiting for you.

On this, the fact SuperCell even allowed elixir for walls was just quite ridiculous. It was inevitably going to hurt the elixir economy - many predicted it the second it was announced; and no surprise that is exactly what happened.

Why didn't SuperCell just give us a choice to use elixir or gold for next fees instead?

It would allow those with full elixir to use some it - without burning it to ground at the point of been unworthy of raiding.

How it should be... Well why would anyone listen to low level noobs?
