(Bias as I'm th8)
As of now I'm sitting at maxed elixir. Yes it's slightly sad that I have nothing to use it on until × amount of days are done. It makes sense as th 7 generally have a good loot the majority of raids (so do th 8 but decreased on th 7 below) if it were a th 9 or 10 attacking a th 8 they should already know that the amount of loot is reduced by (enter percentage here)
I feel like it should be able to dump into skull walls but I'm not begging for this, more of a feature which will help me the long run and get me quicker to th 9 as for many. (No loot penalty then

)
