    It's rare for me to get 3-starred by a th9
    But even so, they never take that much loot.
    300k/300k/2000de
    is pretty much the max that's ever been taken from me.

    That's what? 2 raids? And I get a 12-16hr shield depending.

    I call that win.
    Play for for a few hours that night and recoup 5 times that amount.

    Any near maxed TH8 is mad to stay at TH8 now, too many carrots at TH9.
    I'm a near maxed TH8 and I think I'm going to stay. I have walls, BK, Dark troop upgrades, and traps left. I'm not having any problem getting gold and DE right now so i'm going to stay, at least until I finish the DE stuff. If I go to TH9 i'll have an immediate use for elixir, but I don't see it being any easier to get the gold needed to finish those walls at TH9.

    Getting gold at TH9 is still very easy, in fact easier IMO Because you have lv 6 Giants. As well as lv 6 Barch. Also when you get the Queen that is a huge game changer.

    With the 1gem boost just drag armies, over night cooks if drag armies, put the elixir storage next to the th outside not trapped far from defenses, set your base with the elixir at the 1st later of walls so they act as a shield, all possibilities.

    Or just put your lix storages next to your town hall, and fill the gaps in your base with DE drills and/or gold mines.

    The real issue is there isn't anything to spend the elixir on, since you can’t upgrade walls to level 9 until TH9. So I constantly have 6 million elixir or near that amount in my storage at all times. This causes an even bigger issue as it makes keeping the gold that is so insanely valuable at this level that much harder to hold on to. With nothing to spend elixir on, if my shield is ever down I’m going to be attacked by a TH9+. They might not even care about the amount of gold I have but they still end up taking it, forcing me to be online constantly or not attack if I can't be because the random battles every 30 minutes or so will net to 0 gold (or close to it) once I get attacked.

    So how did I solve this issue? Every time I have a builder come up, I start building my barracks 10 upgrade, or one of the dark barracks upgrades and then immediately cancel them, effectively throwing away the elixir that helps the TH9+'s but right now is hurting TH8's. This honestly saves me so much gold in random battles that it is worth it unless I need to start a research upgrade soon.

    Basically what this update really did was make throwing away elixir the best strategy for a TH8 who has done most of elixir upgrades of the TH8, which most have after the first few weeks. Why are TH8's complaining about the wall changes you ask? Well some of it is lazy players, but a lot of it is this “Economy Balancing” upgrade hurts TH8's a heck of a lot more than it helps with the extra DE drill.

    Supercell you need to find a solution to this, or we will just keep throwing away all that elixir you want us to keep for the TH9's and 10's.

    Sincerely,
    TH8's
    Why not just put your elixir outside and let people have it then?
    A year ago this is what loads of TH8 and TH9 that had no use for elixir did.
    Give away elixir for trophies and then raid back down on inactive gold mines with barch.

    How about dumping the elixir into more gold production and spending it on those level 12 gold mines and a new level 3 DE drill at TH8? By the time, you hit TH9 you will have made enough gold to past the catch up point.

    I Have The Same Thing

    Only difference is I'm not moaning as lvl 8 Elixir walls should not have been allowed I only got 8 btw. Just put your elixir storages outside and help the community like me

    Those of us who went all the way through level 9 walls without using elixer find it funny when current th8s say they got "screwed" by an update that took away a temporary change that for the vast majority of the time never existed. Put your elixer outside. Make more expensive troops. Boost your spell factory and use them on every raid. Donate dragons to your clan mates who don't have full elixer.
