Even our lowest level th8 is sitting on mass quantities of elixir. It's like honey for the th9/10 flies who come and do 100% smash stealing all your available loot. Personally I would like to see a bigger loot penalty since they took away my only chance at revenging these guys.
as for elixir to walls I think giving that option to anything lower than th10 maxed walls was a mistake. Now th9s spend all their spare on walls making it so then other th9s need to attack lower levels for loot. Personally I would like to see it reversed (taken away) to the higher level. If a new th9 can raid the 6 million elixir for a ballon upgrade with th8 troops then they can certainly raid the 1 and subsequently 3 million for each wall in gold. Here's a tip......don't wait to do all your walls until the very end. Do them concurrently with your other upgrades and you'll be fine.
