No Dahimi, the commenter above has a valid point. If you're comparing dark elixir to "other things in the game", this is my experience:

As a lvl 8 player, avg gold per "cost effective" raid is 150k-200k gold/elix. The numbers for a dark elix availble loot range on avg range from 100-200. I won't even go into the accessibility of dark elix stoarge buildings on an avg base. Therefore, based on my laws of average, 40 raids will get me 6-8mil gold/elix. With that much gold/elix, you can buy/upgrade pretty well anything. Similarly, those raids will net me (if I'm lucky and go for the 3 star kill) 4-8k dark elix. Now we all know that 8k dark elix will get you diddly squat.

Again, your arguement comparing dark elix to standard resources is not quite 'apples vs apples'. Try again.
