Walls with Elixir (FIXED!!!)

[Tmoss1125]

I have no problem leaving the Purple walls gold only. Black walls are the problem, and I fail to see how it ruins the economy?

So many people have explained it in this thread, read it through, you'll find you're answer

I did read it. Their explainations are full of ♥♥♥♥. Oh boohoo, Th9s now have terrible pickings of their smaller prey of Th8s. What about all the th10s and their pickings on TH9s? Th8s cant pick off th7s and expect to get a hefty payday from them unless they're maxxed out and inactive. In short, th8s are getting royally screwed.

No, more like "boohoo, I have too much loot. Please let me destroy the economy and ruin loot for everyone else just so I can have it easy."

TH8s had it too easy between September and December. So easy that they were ruining the game for everyone else. They never should have been given that option in the first place. It was a mistake that has been corrected.

do you realize that supercell tried this before? they had it set that you could use elixir for walls for months. it was a disaster. this isn't something we are just making up.

Couldn't have said it better my friend

Then only make Zap walls take elixir. Shouldn't be an issue with all you th9s, right? I'm sure you all don't mind paying for those walls in gold only.

I really fail to see how using the resources that I have hurts the economy. GO raid your own levels, and stop ♥♥♥♥♥ing because they throw a bone to help the lower levels.

In other words, "if I can't have it you shouldn't be able to either "

Guess what? TH9s working on level 9+ walls already farmed their level 8 walls. Why can't you?

I'm sorry, but why not go back to the way it was before September? Why do TH9s need the elixir building walls? After all, the people who did it before you guys had to grind it ot that way. See how rediculous your response was?

Because the economy was horrible between September and December. Moving elixir up to level 9 improved the situation dramatically.

All I still see here is "if I can't have it no one can! "

I would prefer that, but lix for legos is a VAST improvement over Q4 2014. For those of you still wondering why it is so imperative that TH8's have loot available I have done the math to help you understand. I did it back in Oct so my memory may be a bit foggy, but it should still be close . . .

Collector production:
TH9 generates 0% more loot than a TH8
TH10 generates something like 17% more loot than a TH8

For archer towers alone:
TH9 needs roughly 1700% more loot to max their archers than a TH8 does
TH10 needs roughly 7000% more loot to max their archer towers than a TH8 does

For full disclosure I did this math originally when lvl11 was the maximum for pumps and mines so the numbers have changed a very tiny amount. The core of the math is still there though. TH8 can generate and farm more than they need. TH9 and TH10 create . . . well, it almost doesn't even factor in. 17% raise in production, 40% decrease in loot by farming, 7000% increase in spending. The game is designed to FORCE TH9-10 to farm down. If you want to stay at TH8 you have decided to be the prey that makes the game possible. If you have no loot CoC can be turned off because it is dead.

That or they need to completely rework the economy, which is an idea that I am open to and have made suggestions ranging from mild to extreme. For now high TH8 is the honeypot that the entire game survives on. Stay below it, move beyond it or accept it. Ruining the entire game so that a very small vocal minority (late TH8 who refuse to upgrade) is a terrible, horrible, awful idea for the vast majority of the players (TH1-early TH8 and TH9-TH10).
