Then one would think you'd appreciate a further price reduction. More people boosting is more loot for you. The current price is better, but still not good enough. It's still a better value to boost barracks and you get the gold immediately.

I think roughly one gem per day per collector would be about right. That'd be about 100 gems per week for most.

Cost/gain for boosting my lvl3 DE drill is 15 gems to get an extra 1080 DE. Right now that's a lot better than buying in the store and when close to a goal, I think it's worth it. I don't boost my collectors or mines because I can get it so much easier bamming at my TH8 level...only 1 drill. Will I do it continuosly? No. I think there would have to be some type of botany lab that would harvest more gems per tree for me to use more gems on a continual basis. I've gemmed stuff so far and spent some money on what I think is a great game. I like all the continual improvements and this is another. I never used gems to boost anything before. Now it's limited. For me to do it more, it would have to be balanced again.

I think 11 gems is a little low for 7 days. Maybe 15 for a week long boost. But I do agree 24 hrs is way too short

+1

I can't remember the exact math i did but i crunched the numbers one day and with max collectors you actually lose gems to boost them as u can just buy the remaining resources for a cheaper price so i agree 100% nice idea

Like it. if they add this, i would deffinitly boost my recources once in a while if they put this. fair price and long boost. unlike the still ♥♥♥♥ prices.

Yes, I that the cost of 11 gems for just 24 hours is too expensive for gems or too low of time. You would be better off spending 25 gems for boost on barracks to raid more often

unless my math is incorrect, boosting the collectors is more valuable than buying resources straight up with gems. this was NOT true before the reduction. but lets see, if i were to buy gold for gems its saying for me 7,825,832 gold for 2,420 gems. this equates to 3,234 gold for every 1 gem. level 11 collector collects 3k an hour, so doubling the boost would result in an extra 72,000 gold during the 24 boost. this equates to 6,545 gold for every 1 gem

Hi guys, I totally get the business model. You want players to use gems so they buy more and I don't disagree with it, it's business. You just allowed everyone in game a resource boost for a week for 1 gem per resource, which was great! I thank you for doing that, but now that it is over you offer 11 gems for 24 hour boost. I know you would like players to use this, however, after asking my Clanmates about it, none of them are going to go for it. It still seems too high for little gain!

Here was my suggestion:
11 gems for 7 days per resource.

Why did i come to this idea?

1) it motivates payers to use their gems constantly
2) it brings more resources to players during attacks
3) it follows the 7 day boost you just offered which was much better than 24 hours
4) it seems more appropriate than what is currently offered
5) it achieves what the company is looking for, players to constantly use a good amount of gems

at my lvl, 116, I have a 15 resource platforms; 6 gold mines, 6 drills, and 3 dark drills. Each week i will be motivated to use 11 gems per resource to boost it for the week, 165 gems / week. This is still a high amount of gems compared to what we harvest from trees, rocks, and bushes, 0 - 3 gems / bush.i hope that the supercell community agrees with me on this idea. I really would like to hear from you all to see what you think.

If you do reply to this post, please leave full and detailed replies! The more you write, the more important it will be.

Most importantly, I hope to hear from supercell in regards to this idea.

thank you for reading this post.

Hi! Great idea! I still think supercell should reduce the boost cost. Maybe i have a solution: There should be added feature that you can choose how many days and hours the boost should last. For instance 3h boost= 1 gem. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!
