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.

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

thank you for reading this post.

I think 48 Hours is better,1 week? Nah. SC already decreased them. They're not decreasing them again.

It isn't about decreasing costs, it is about SC seeing what would increase revenue. I believe this would increase their revenue as well as benefit the customer.

Clearly SC needs the next troop to be the Market Researcher:

cost: 1000 DE
time: 1 day
housing: 100

Hit Points: 1
DPS: 500
Speed: 80

special ability: find the right cost (in gems) and duration for boosts to maximize gem sales.

How would you use this troop though? Is it supposed to be like a builder?

My bad i was still thinking of before the reduction i haven't done the math for after the reduction

You may say that the prices right now are more targeted towards the big gemmers but wouldnt supercell make more money in the end if they put it at about 15 gems per week? A lot more people would buy and they would be hauling in quite a bit more cash off that. I mean- imagine about 100-200k coc players (there r over 2 mil but thats probably the amount that would buy it) buying $2-3 of gems every week.

Thats exactly my point. They would profit more with the method I proposed here.

i hope they do take this into consideration. It would really change things up.

Good idea ! It would also encourage players to clear obstacles in their village and it would help people when attacking and keep villages nice and tidy.

Looks like I got some trees to remove if they did this

I agree with Dahmi to pay a gem each day so the cot is 7 gems because if I gemmed my barracks well at least 10x the amount I get from collectors daily
DE drill 110% time
Do u mind if I link this to my sig?
