By Far The Easiest But Best Suggestion For Next Update

[Spartacus]

Hey everyone,
So basically, I'm level 86, and I have never gemmed, I attack for EVERYTHING.
Now, what I've noticed is there is ridiculous amounts of updates for GOLD, and barely anything for Elixir.
Literally nearly everything is for Gold.

So clashers, Supercell, my idea is this:

Make walls upgradable for gold OR elixir. When you tap on a wall, tap upgrade, it will have a button to upgrade spending gold, OR elixir.
E.g upgrading to lv 7 wall will have 2 buttons, 200K gold, 200K elixir.

EDIT: Now, BEFORE anyone comments, take this into consideration:

Total cost to max elixir upgrades: 225,813,300 elixir
Total cost to max gold upgrades: 388,456,000 gold
Already a difference of: 162,632,700 extra gold.
Now, to MAX walls is ANOTHER 1,205,300,000 Gold!

Meaning you need a total of 1,367,942,700 EXTRA gold than elixir.
So what happens to the extra 1.367 billion elixir roughly you would get while attacking to steal that gold? As I normally average the same elixir as gold when attacking.

Now, just to make matters WORSE, it costs gold to rebuy spells, search for players at 750 Gold each 'Next' for TH9 and even 1000 Gold each for TH10! And i dont know about you guys, but sometimes i spend more gold than I actually make, JUST trying to find someone to attack at bad times of the day! Even at a good time you can still spend 25-50% of the gold you get from the attack, just finding it!

So with this update, it would completely revolutionize the game in the fact that people can get what update, when they want it. As they can spend the opposite resource on walls. The games gold vs elixir upgrades is already over 160+ million difference, lets not make it worse by making walls cost ONLY gold for another 1.2 BILLION, there should be options, gold OR elixir, so you can choose to buy with gold, or if you wish, elixir.

I find myself constantly wanting to upgrade things with gold, but having no choice because my Elixir storages are maxing out at 8Million elixir and every time I attack, elixir goes to waste.

But this update wouldn't just be for higher levels, but for lower levels too who don't want to upgrade townhall yet but ran out of elixir upgrades for their TH.

I honestly don't know what people did with their elixir before all the recent dark elixir updates. I have a maxed out DE storage, and 2 maxed out DE drills, all of which I didn't even want, I just had to waste elixir. I now have like 3 remaining upgrades left in Lab, and I'm currently upgrading lv3 pekka as it was the most expensive just to waste elixir. Now that has 13 days left, and I have another 7Million elixir already, so now what? ...

Gold already relies on all defensive upgrades, walls, searching for players, etc etc. Elixir is for troops, and troop upgrades and de upgrades, that's basically it..

So please, release 2 buttons for wall upgrades, 1 gold, 1 elixir. Would help everyone get the updates they want, when they want, and spend the rest on walls so it doesn't go completely to waste!

Thanks!


Here's an idea of how it could look when upgrading a wall:

Edit this thread and add use elixir for spells also

Maybe you could pay: Gold OR Elexir OR Half Gold Half Elexir

i dont think being able to spend either gold or elixir on walls is the way to fix the issue of elixir.
Something does need to be done about it however, weather its a new building, new decorations, new troop levels or barrack/DE barrack levels it needs to be something but defenses is not the way it doesnt make sense since all defenses use gold

[ChiefofLiquidOrder]

Its always true that there is an imbalance of elixir and gold u get all your gold and elixir then spend your gold and have nothing to do with the elixir. Most of the time i find myself upgrading my barracks and troops that i don't use just to waste elixir. The wall thing is a GREAT idea i find myself havin a little bit of gold to upgrade walls so elixir can fill that up

[Deathst0rm]

I think we could solve this with my thread about new walls, the trenches could coast a lot of elexir since they are permenent...

There doesn't have to be any argument in this. In fact, the entire argument was about how people still wanted to spend gold on walls. Well guess what, YOU CAN. The elixir is an OPTION! And it's not fake math, this guy actually put effort into this thread. I hope someone from Supercell sees this so they can consider the idea and stop the argument.

I think this is a great idea! These days, elixir is so easy to come by, and there's nothing to do with it. While you are upgrading troops and such, there is nothing to do with your elixir! However, elixir is easy to find and when you use it to upgrade, let's say a wall, it should cost more elixir to upgrade something. This way, it's not too easy to upgrade things. But all in all, this is a great idea that Supercell should definitely take into consideration!

with me farming for walls atm my gold count doesnt rise above 250k and atm i have about 1.5 elix. i would love to be able to cash the walls with elix would make my day entirely ;D. i also think it would be pretty cool if there was a different tint for the walls if you buy with elix. NOT! i repeat NOT! a different color just maybe a different shade of purple for level 7 walls and maybe a lighter black for lvl 8 if cashed with elix. idk figured that would be cool. Good idea overall though i really like it. I am curious to see how SC looks at it and cant wait to see how they tackle this whole topic entirely

The elixir gold imbalance is too much! I'm at 100 k gold and 1.9 m elixir currently. Even spending on wizards and dragons don't help as the bases I raid have tons of elixir as well. I'm facing the situation where my elixir storage will always be maxed out after a raid.
