[Poll] The Lightning Spell Problem Needs to be Addressed

[Darkslayer85]

It has been said by users, that if you want to protect your dark elixir and people are zapping it, why do you think they are zapping you?

• Most likely you are a Town Hall 8 or 9 with those solid-gold mortars and fully purple wizard towers, right?
• If you were a Town Hall 7, you would be incapable of attacking that base, most likely, right?
• So, what is your solution to the people who've got 1200 DE in the center of their base that you can't touch?
• LIGHTNIN' EM!
• Technically it's your fault. You want to protect your dark elixir, farm with players of your own skill level.

Although I also do see your point. These players are annoying... but technically they are doing this rather inffectively.
Barching and stealing drill DE is a good way of farming Dark Elixir, and you can raid a few thousand in the time it'd take you to cook up one lightning spell batch. Even if they boosted their spell factory, where's the elixir coming from? They'd most likely run out of elixir every 5 batches or so. Then to get a simple 100K elixir for another batch is about 150-200 gems (not sure). Gemming the king with no initial DE is just 600 gems (I never gemmed my king, but I've heard that it's 600. Let them zap, they are a long way from a Barbarian King anyway.

I also have reason to believe that all the people who voted this poll down are zappers.

Nope, I'm not a zapper and I voted it down. Without zapping even more TH9s and TH10s will flood the lower leagues and all of us at TH8 and below will get wrecked without mercy. Without zapping we have no means of chasing the TH9s and 10s up to a higher league.

I don't get why people are so against zapping... Someone takes a couple thousand DE from you, so what. Take it back! Login and play more offense. DE comes pretty easy at crystal and above. Besides, dark drills generate plenty each day to cover it. Personally, I wouldn't even mind if lightning did double damage on storages.

Why should we try to stop things that some people find annoying? I find it annoying when I go to snipe a TH and 4 max teslas pop up with bombs and spring traps all over. But do I complain and try to get that ability banned? No. Instead I zap their DE storage to annoy them back!

It's part of the game. Don't try to dictate the way we should or shouldn't play... Long live zapping!

I'm not a zapper nor have I been, but zapping is actually GOOD for the game. If you don't want to be zapped, go to a league of similar leveled guys.
