[Jkrdan]

I am currently a near max th 8 only a few deffenses left and I have a ton of elixer built up I can't use and I'dlike to use my elixer on getting lvl 8 walls plz this is a real pain

This would cause a shortage of elixir in matchmaking, so I don't really see this happening.

[LemoneyFresh937]

Yeah, and it would also cause a shortage of gold somehow.

No, not really.

[MrHuntSeanDown]

Nope,much thanks. We th9s' and 10s' usually get elixir from near-maxed th8s. This would also cause shortage of elixir,very much.

???
Why?

[Echo006]

Most of the elixir in the economy is generated by TH8s with full storages who have nothing left to do.

Thus, it is advisable to rush to TH9 and start upgrading legos. Don't even bother maxing out TH8 if your elixir storages are full.

I hope this answers why upgrading lvl 6 & 7 walls with elixir was removed:

1) Upgrading Walls with Elixir is now available only when upgrading Walls to level 9 and higher.

Mid-level Wall upgrades using Elixir have become an easy and highly-available place to spend away excess Elixir, which is good for idle Villagers, but bad for active attackers. Our primary goal for Wall upgrades using Elixir was always to give players more flexibility when pushing their Walls to higher levels, so pushing the Elixir option to Wall level 9+ will help us keep this flexibility for the most expensive of Walls while still retaining more Elixir in mid-level battles for when you go on the attack.

Note that moving the Elixir option up to Wall level 9 is the only change to Wall upgrading. The prices in Gold (or Elixir) will remain the same.

Source: New collector level and retaining more resources in battles

Yes, this update removed a part of the feature but this update was boosted the economy of the game.
