Dear th8's STILL complaining about sc taking away walls with elixer

[FreedomCompany]

To my fellow th8's with maxed out elixer; I feel your pain. To my fellow th8' who can't suck up the fact that they can't upgrade walls with elixer anymore; get over it! Stop being lazy and just grind out your walls with gold! It's actually a GOOD thing they took away this feature! I'll admit, when I first got word that we wouldn't be able to use our elixer on lvl 8 walls, I was furious. I only used elixer for walls, and and now I had to use only gold to upgrade walls? Really Supercell? Yes, really, and I can tell you why. Elixer farming was absolutely TERRIBLE for th7's and 8's when we were able to use our elixer for walls. Think about new th8's, finally pumped to get lvl 5 archers. They find the perfect range to farm gold at (gold 3, bless you and your dead bases ) but they would never find any elixer! They wouldn't be able to save up, they would have to rely on their collectors (and, for me personally, I wouldn't even save my elixer, I would put it straight into walls once I had enough.) so the economy was pretty bad back then. Then SC removed this feature, outraging the mid-level part of the community. But this actually DID balance out the economy, which they claimed they were doing in the first place! But nobody wanted to listen, and instead, people whined and complained about it (myself included). But with the one gem boost back then, IT DIDNT EVEN MATTER! GETTING GOLD AROUND THE HOLIDAYS WAS SOOOOOOOO EASY! So now, that newly upgraded th8 CAN save up for his lvl 5 archers. That th7 CAN get his last army camp up to lvl 6, giving him 200 army slots. That lvl 76 th8 CAN save up for the dark barracks level 4. And the people like ME, who are currently upgrading to th9 (9d and 14h and counting) CAN upgrade to their lab and spell factory RIGHT AWAY! So in the end, just grind out your walls! It's not hard people! And if you can drop 5$ for 500 gems, do it! Boost your barrack once or twice a day, and you can net gold like CRAZY! I personally have about 25 more walls to upgrade to lvl 8 before th9, but I still have 10 days to do that, and I can do that fast if I just grind hard enough!

thanks everyone for reading this. I know this is a really long rant, but I've just been so feed up with people complaining about bringing back walls with elixer, people adding on their "2015 update wish list" and all that ♥♥♥♥. Just thought some people need to get some sense knocked into them, and let Supercell know that not EVERYBODY playing this game hates them now. In fact, thank you Supercell, keep it up 👍

thanks everyone, and as always, clash on!

I admit i didnt read it all, too wall of textly for me. I do agree with your general message though. Everyone needs to get over it, not just th8's, but th 8's do get a little more emphasis. This is a good thing that happened.

A good thing? I agree that upgrading walls with gold is no sweat with only gold (8 left, 280mil GG).


However, It definitely isn't that efficient.. i know I have probably raided upwards of 50 million elixir which I could not hold....

The mechanics should change so that in the case I can not hold loot the defender keeps it.

You know what I did?

Just upgraded my townhall.

Now I'm spending elixir faster than it's coming in, LOL

10Million in elixir in two days. I suspect my storages wont be full for some time now.

I agree that you should be able to keep lot raided when your storages are full, put that in the idea & feature requests sub-forum. But I do think its a good thing, not just for me, the community. People couldn't save up elixer during the era of elixer walls. Loot was bad in general

What about for TH10s, who have to still deal with the fact that TH9s can continue to dump elixir out of the system just as they could before? There's a very simple solution that not only solves the economical problems that allowing elixir for walls w/o restriction causes, but also allows every single level of wall (that's right, not just lvl 7-11) to be upgraded with elixir.

The TH8s who want it back in the fashion that it was before are just as in the wrong as the TH9s who aggressively assert that this revert did anything to fix the situation for TH10s. There's a compromise that helps everyone--allows all players to use both resources to upgrade walls, and makes farming resemble that as it was back in August, before the elixir for walls update was put into place. It's also completely sustainable in the off-chance that Supercell decides to roll out higher TH levels. The current system would crumble if they tried introducing TH11 b/c it's flawed in its design.

Agreed on the last part you said, but in terms of it being a good thing, it is more of a good thing for the whole game rather than the individual person.

^ exactly what this guy said here as well. No loot= no walls, even if there was an option to spend elixir on walls, it would still be just as difficult as it is now due to the lack of any elixir in the economy anyway.
