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

[SamClash]

it is working. Unlike th8, th9s have to save a huge amount of elixir for resesrch ( 6million ), and DE drills that cost a lot. TH9s always have more elixir, on average. You just want super easy walls. (;

Guessing you are a Th9 as this only benefits them at the moment. Maybe try looking at this how it effects the whole game and not just you.

If the simple maths above is not enough for you to understand the problem then no explanation will help either.

My actual preferred solution is to only be able to us elixir for zaps. But here you of course won't agree as I am not the one wanting easy walls....

[Superfinch30]

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.

You're talking about resources over a certain storage level are allowed to be pumped into walls, ie only the last 5 or 3million down to 3million cap. Thats it, no more walls.

Would think it would have to be different for each TH, but meh, i can live with that.
Means knocking up 6m before i can do a lava. Its rare my elix gets stolen, but usually knocks up a big trap bill. Sigh.

i'm a maxed out town hall 8 (almost) i just need my collectors and mines up to level 12 and then i need the rest of my troops to level up.
i had all level 7 walls when i upgraded from th7 to th8 and then i did the 50 walls to level 7 once at th8.
once i had 225 level 7 walls i did around 50 walls to level 8 and then i had 175 left and boom! the new update comes and i think that it would be gone again because the economy was destroyed by it.
so i took advantage of it and did wall farming alot and also did some upgrades, and i had around 40 walls left to do before all my walls were level 8 and then they took it away but i was okay with it now i had more elixir for some expensive troops so i could get more dark elixir + gold
before i had problems just training up my barch because i was always on less than 400k elixir.. now im on 6m gold and elixir

Level 7 ---> Level 8 walls = Not hard.

I haven't had a problem with getting level 8 walls with only gold. I first thought "well this may be a little hard" and now I'm like "jeez this seems easier."

Really if they take away level 9 ---> 10 with elixir then that would be different because that is actually difficult.

[SamClash]

Maybe just Zaps is a little over the top, but allowing the elixir to put into Legos is stopping any of the benefit from the change getting to the TH10s (the original aim). As the TH9s are hoovering up all the excess loot from the TH8s and putting it straight into walls.

Maybe lavas would be a good compromise as they are 3 mill leaving some bases near the cap to allow some elixir to trickle up to the TH10s.

The current system is broken and only benefits TH9s, you will notice how vocal they are becoming to keep it like this.

[Growler]

Allowing people to dump in level 9 walls is also a problem that needs to be addressed.

use your extra elixir to build better trops, go to higgest league, get more DE be happy.
Use elixir for wall is just a new thing in this game, everybody before make a walls (every levels) with gold,

[Freakimus]

I have to admit I didn't read the wall of text either.

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!

well said!!!

Use elixir for wall is just a new thing in this game, everybody before make a walls (every levels) with gold,

I build full dragon armies with 3 spells every time I log off, play in Masters league at TH8 with all my DE upgrades done.

I am still sat on full elixir bins.

I know elixir for walls is a new thing, it is just the crazy implmentation at the moment that bothers me. It is forcing me to level to 9 before I would normally to avoid wasting 100 million elixir.

Elixir for only lvl 9 walls and above is very badly thought through.

10 and above or 8 and above would both work much better.

Or a better fix would be to allow it for all levels and make the win bonuses big enough to alleviate the elixir shortage at TH10, rather than the broken crutch they are trying to use now.
